Hyundai Azera problems
The Hyundai Grandeur (Korean: 현대 그랜저) is an executive sedan manufactured and marketed by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1986, over five generations.
From 1986 to 1996, the Grandeur was the flagship for Hyundai's South Korean range before the Hyundai Dynasty was introduced. It is marketed globally as the Hyundai Azera. As the Azera, it was the flagship of Hyundai's US and Canadian lineup until the arrival of the Genesis sedan. After the launch of the separate Genesis brand, the Grandeur/Azera resumed its place as the company's flagship.
As of the 2017 model year, the Azera is no longer marketed in the United States and Canada. The sedan continued to be available in South Korea and the Middle East.

Common Hyundai Azera problems
The Hyundai Azera has been known to have several common problems across various model years, as reported by owners. One of the most frequently mentioned issues is the timing chain tensioner problem, which is particularly prevalent in the 2006-2011 models. This issue is a significant concern because it requires a major repair job to replace the tensioner.
Another common problem is the lack of sound coming from the speakers, which can affect the overall driving experience. This issue can occur in any model year, and it is essential to address it promptly to ensure that the driver can hear important audio alerts, such as warning signals and navigation instructions.
The Hyundai Azera has also been reported to have engine problems, which is the worst problem category overall. The 2007 model year, in particular, has been identified as the worst due to higher repair costs and more problems at lower mileage, despite the 2006 model having the most overall complaints.
Additionally, there have been reports of fires starting in the antilock braking system (ABS) of Hyundai vehicles, including the Azera. This issue is caused by short-circuits within the ABS due to liquid contamination and corrosion, which can lead to significant safety concerns.
Lastly, the 2007 Azera model has been reported to have several other issues, including a cracked dashboard, a seat back that moves forward while the vehicle is moving, loud clicking noises, and instances where the vehicle has died or stalled while driving.
It is essential to note that these issues may not affect all Hyundai Azera models, and some model years may have fewer problems than others. However, it is crucial to be aware of these common issues and address them promptly to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

How many miles will a Hyundai Azera last?
Final Thoughts
You can expect around 200,000 miles out of your Hyundai Azera, with a high mileage point of around 150,000 and good mileage at 125,000. Though there will be natural aging in your vehicle, repairs and maintenance put into your car will make a big difference in how long it survives.
Why is Hyundai Azera discontinued in USA?
Unfortunately, the Hyundai Grandeur / Azera will not be available in the US due to dwindling demand for large sedans and the automaker's desire to avoid cannibalizing sales of the Genesis lineup.

- Summary: In 2023, Hyundai approved to pay for repairs of vehicles that suffer premature engine failures due to issues such as low oil, metal debris and/or fire in the engine. These issues were predominately found in the GDI engines in Kia and Hyundai vehicles. This suit failed to take into account the Hyundai Azera model and the 3.3 GDI engine. Same engine maker as the 2.2 and 2.4 models. My car stalled out in the middle of traffic with no warning lights for low oil or engine issues. The car was serviced previously with no coded issues noted accept excessive oil burning which was noted with all Hyundai models from the last decade. The GDI 3.3 has the most noted issues and is the most expensive to replace from the dealer. The engines are failing before the car is broken in the manufacture is making money on the replacement engines from customers who are still trying to pay the car off.

- VIN: KMHFG4JG1DA
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: I like to report that this vehicle developed moisture inside the head lamps and it has inside a silver/ look like tent foil spread all over. At nigh we can’t see the road. We replaced the light and bought the most brighter once $109.@ and we still can’t see at night. It is a safety issue since we can see. I’m not the only one you have1000s of customers with the same issues but they have bought the part in Amazon’s. My problem about that is that they do not sale them for my car it said that is for Sonata. And that once you buy it you would have to get a built hule that fits. This is one of the comments on companies: 10:31 5G: 83 ' F FMac8413 V 1 post • Joined 2022 #1 • May 29, 2022 Well I inherited a 2013 Azera. Nothing but light things are useless I can’t see at night and the look bad. Would a 2011 sonata parts fit my 2013 Azera? It would have to be a matter of bolt holes being different because side by side these cars look identical! Anyway any serious input is greatly appreciated.

Hyundai Azera 2013
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-07
- Date Complaint: 2024-06-10
- VIN: KMHFH4JG0DA
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: [XXX] Bought a used 2013 Hyundai Azera. Since day 1 it has overheating issue. Within the first 2 wks of ownership, we replaced the radiator cap, thermostat, and had engine checked for leaks at Pep Boys. Replacing the water pump was next. On the night of [XXX] we replaced the water pump. Cranked engine and no leakage, so I decided to take my car home which was 45 minutes away. After driving for 15-20 minutes, the temp gauge was almost topped out, so I slowed down. I was approaching a gas station in a town halfway to home and decided I needed to pull in, but the car suddenly and steadily lost power. I had barely enough power to pull into a space away from door (I just knew it was bad and I didn't want car in the business's way). Car would not crank after being shut off for about 20 minutes. I called my husband and he brought a car hauler trailer to put it on. The vehicle was checked for leaks by PepBoys, but it is going for a reputable mechanic inspection soon as can be scheduled. So I had this car not even 30 days, paid cash for it (which I hope to recover) and mechanic friend of mine tells me it's a blown head gasket. From what I've read, it has the 3.3L Lambda engine causing issues for other model vehicles. Is there a recall? What options for replacement are there? Anyone can inspect the car at any time. It is just taking up a space in the apartment parking lot right now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle year: 2015
My wife and I were searching for a new car and we looked at several models including Maximas, Fusions, Camrys, Avalons, and more. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a car that we absolutely loved. However, I remembered driving a Hyundai Genesis as a rental while traveling for business and suggested we give Hyundai a chance. We were pleasantly surprised when we found the Azera and were blown away by every detail! This tech package car has everything we were looking for, from its sleek and sporty looks to its spacious interior that can comfortably accommodate a family of four. The premium leather, Infinity sound system, Bluetooth tech package/navigation system, panoramic sunroof, power back glass shade, and great power heated and cooled seats were all added bonuses. We were also pleased to discover that this car is very economical, getting anywhere from 26 to 30mpg! Plus, it drives like a sports car! If you haven't tried one yet, you are definitely missing out!!!

Vehicle year: 2007
The 2007 Azera Limited is a great car for the price. It's construction is comparable to some of the BMW series and it comes out on top! The Korean car maker is definitely moving in the right direction by providing a luxury vehicle without the high price tag. The door handles are nicely designed and convenient, and the Infinity sound system is amazing! While there are some areas for improvement, such as the car feeling heavy when applying brakes, the emergency brake light needing a sounder to alert the driver, and the lack of an auxiliary input for your mp3, the lumbar support helps with the thin leather seating. If your electronic gizmos start to go wacky, try changing the battery first before spending money at the dealership if your warranty runs out. Enjoy your Azera!

Vehicle year: 2017
20190809 UPDATE: Hi there! I've had this car for just over a year now and I can honestly say that it's definitely worth owning. I only have one small issue with it, and that's the front turn signal bulbs. They're a bit pricey at $30 each and they're proprietary, so you have to remove the front bumper to access them. Other than that, there's really nothing to complain about. I've put about 13k miles on the car and it's done a trip across the country with zero issues. I would definitely buy this car again and again. One thing I will say is that it's important to invest in good tires for this car. It really makes a huge difference. I went with Continentals (DWS06's) and it's almost like driving a different car. The car has held up beautifully and still looks as good as the day I bought it. 2018Feb18th: Actually, I just picked up this car today and I have to say, they really thought of everything and then some when they put this together. The outside appearance of this car is very elegant with sexy sloping lines and accents in all the right places. The interior is well thought out and even without the limited edition, you get a truckload of features that comparable cars don't offer unless you spend thousands more. They've even added nice small touches to make you notice how amazing it is. For instance, when you put the car in park at night, the floorboards illuminate so you can see everything. The Infinity sound system is nothing short of amazing and is very crisp, capturing everything. The motor is slightly underpowered for the car, but definitely provides adequate pickup while the transmission provides smooth shifts. So far, we've averaged 23.5 mpg with both highway and city driving and we can even whisper to each other at highway speeds. To add to it, the handling is everything you'd expect from a premium sedan and you can literally turn the wheel of the car with your pinky while sitting still. It's not for handling junkies, but for those who want to enjoy the ride. Backseat room and comfort is second to none. There is so much room back there that we had no second thoughts about trading in our 2017 Traverse for this car. Plus, the trunk is HUGE, so there's plenty of room for storage. Thanks for reading!Great job Hyundai! It's a shame that you got rid of this model, but with the right marketing, it could sell like hotcakes. To make sure people understand what it is, be sure to explain its unique features and benefits. I hope you consider bringing it back, perhaps with an AWD 2.0T.

I have been driving my new Azera for three weeks now and I absolutely love it! The ride is powerful, smooth, and noiseless. Although I originally wanted the white color, it was not in stock, so I ended up purchasing the Titanium Blue. And how lucky was I? The blue color is so rich and beautiful! Not only that, but I was able to own this car for 10-20,000 dollars less than I was expecting to pay, which is a huge bonus. I truly believe that Hyundai makes a fine product. I will be sure to write another comment in about six months, after the break-in period.

Vehicle year: 2008
I apologize in advance if my review is a bit confusing. I purchased the car pre-owned and it had already gone through 4+ owners. When I bought it, it had 196k miles on it and a mid-firing spark plug. I replaced all of the spark plugs and engine coils, and it ran perfectly until it hit 197k miles. At that point, it developed a loud engine knock. I took it to a mechanic who informed me that one of the engine pistons was going out. He also warned me that if I continued to drive it, it could potentially explode. However, he did mention that this type of engine typically experiences this issue around 150-170k miles, so mine lasted past its expiration date, so to speak. Despite the short time I had it, I found it to be a nice and smooth ride. Considering it's a 2008 model, it still felt pretty luxurious.
Are you having problems with your Hyundai Azera?

I was initially very impressed with the car, but unfortunately, it has not lived up to my expectations. I have had to take it to the dealer for two warranty repairs in under 9000 miles, which required five separate trips. To make matters worse, the dealer did not have the necessary parts for both repairs, despite there being a TSB on the second one. When I needed them to go the extra mile, they did not, resulting in me having to live with a broken rear sunshade stuck in the up position. This was not only an inconvenience but also a distraction while driving, as the car always tried to lower and raise the sunshade when shifting into R and D, causing a loud and horrible noise. I have decided to switch back to Toyota (which did not require any warranty repairs, even after 110k miles) or Mazda (which did not require any warranty repairs in 45k miles).

I've owned quite a few cars in my time, and while most have been pretty good, this one has been a bit of a letdown. It's not so much the big things - I haven't had any mechanical issues - but the little things that add up. For example, the power seat controls are located on the doors near the C(?) pillar, which means that in order to recline the seat or move it all the way to the rear, you have to maintain a sit-up position until the operation is complete. The GPS is also quite difficult to program, and it has a tendency to take you on strange routes. Even on moderately near destinations, it has a tendency to misdirect you right as you near the destination. The sound system is great - I believe it has 12 speakers - but it's not very intuitive when it comes to programming stations. It's nice to be able to save up to 18 stations per band, but when you push the steering wheel control to move to the next station, it only allows the six stations shown. Overall, while there are some things I don't love about this car, it's still a decent ride.To switch between channels on my GMC, it flows seamlessly without having to take your eyes off the road. Additionally, the voice command feature works exceptionally well, making it easy to find a station to listen to. Although the cooling seats for the driver were minimally effective after the first summer season, the heated seats work perfectly fine. I used to live in the Detroit area for almost 40 years and never had any issues with wheel theft. However, I was surprised to find wheel locks placed on my car, which made it difficult to get a tire rotation. I had to order a key for $15 and replace the lug nuts for another $20, which is not an option I would recommend. It's frustrating that the car takes 3-4 seconds to respond after pressing the gas, and the dealer claims it's normal. As someone who has driven for nearly 40 years and owned multiple cars and vans, I know this is not normal. Although I expected this to be the last car I would buy as I am now in my 60s, I am going to get rid of this car and buy something else.I'm sure there are other issues, such as the keyless entry and start feature, which I personally don't like, but my wife does. The main issue for me is that when I'm getting out of the car and press the lock button, if I'm still in the process of exiting, it won't lock. It's not a big issue, but it bothers me. However, my wife doesn't seem to have a problem with it, so I just mention it in passing.

It's great to hear from you! I wanted to let you know that the car has had some wear and tear over the last three years. However, it's only 6 years old and has been driven for just 45K miles. Despite this, it hasn't aged as well as we would have hoped.

I ascended a hill at 103000 miles and experienced a catastrophic engine failure, resulting in a fire. This unfortunate incident compelled me to withdraw from college to settle the financial obligations associated with the repairs.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I wanted to share my experience with the Hyundai Azera. Unfortunately, I have had some issues with the engine in my 2012 model. Despite taking it to the dealer several times, the problem persisted. Although the 10-year warranty was not helpful in my case, I appreciate that it is offered. I hope that others have had better experiences with this car. Thank you again for reading!
