Problem overview

Some Hyundai Azera owners report experiencing serious engine problems due to low oil pressure, which can lead to engine seizure if not addressed promptly. They note that the oil pressure light should be taken seriously to prevent further engine damage. Additionally, some owners find that the check engine light can be triggered by various issues, including timing problems or mechanical discrepancies, and that failure to address these can result in the engine not starting, especially if the timing chain or belt is compromised. It is also reported that resetting the check engine light should only occur after resolving the underlying issues to avoid complications. Furthermore, the check engine light may indicate problems with the EVAP system, oxygen sensor, vacuum leak, or catalytic converter, necessitating professional inspection. Lastly, if the low engine oil pressure warning light activates, owners are advised to pull over safely, check the oil level, and add oil if necessary to prevent engine damage.
