Hyundai Azera Problems
Noise on Startup Due to Failing Timing Chain Tensioner
If you experience excessive engine noise on startup (after the engine has been turned off for several hours) that lasts for more than five or six seconds, turn off the engine and check that the engine oil level is correct. If the oil level is correct, the noise may be caused by the timing chain tensioner. Hyundai has an improved tensioner to correct this problem.
Poor Shift Quailty of Automatic Transmission
Prior to replacing the automatic transmission fluid (to improve shift quality), make sure that the transmission fluid level is correct. Also, make sure the computer that controls the transmission has the most up-to-date adaptive programming information. When servicing these transmissions be sure to use fluid approved by Hyundai.
Check Engine Light Due to Faulty Accelerator Pedal Position Switch
Problems with the accelerator pedal position switch may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate; an improved switch is available to fix this problem.

Hyundai Azera Stories
I researched and drove all of the competitors in the full size market. None compared favorably with the features and creature comforts that the Azera offered. It was as much or more comfortable. The interior touches and controls are logical and well designed. The reported issues with the suspension and noise are non-existent in my 2009 LTD. It is exceptionally quiet and the sound system is awesome. The rear sun- shade and memory driver seat make it a joy to drive.
Cons:
The only item I can suggest would be a built-in Blue Tooth Hands Free system. (Currently a dealer installed option)
Overall Review:
Memory Driver Seat and the passenger side power seat (not available in most cars unless you pay alot more for it). Th Luminescent and Blue interior lighting makes night driving pleasurable. The Ipod and USB Ports are very handy
When my husband suggested that we look at the Hyundai Azera I was very hesitant. First because I had never heard of it, and second I had my heart set on a Toyota Avalon. After test driving there was no question which car was superior. The Azera feels roomier and has better quality interior details, and the ride is very quiet. I've had my car for over a year now and am very happy with my final $money$ saving decision.
A Cadillac ride and comfort with a lot of power and speed at a Hyundai price .
GREAT CAR TO OWN AND DRIVE... VERY COMFORTABLE HIGHWAY CRUISER.. GREAT $ VAULE FOR RELIABILITY, WARRANTY.......
