NHTSA Complaint #10497640 — 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA

ELECTRICAL GREMLINS ARE EVERYWHERE IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED. THERE ARE SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY CAR I KNOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ARISE WHILE DRIVING. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED UNTIL THE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE FIXED. THERE IS A REAL PATTERN HERE WITH ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS THAT COULD RESULT IN PEOPLE DYING IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. ALL OF THESE ISSUES CAME ON VERY SLOWLY OVER TIME AND SEAMED MINOR AT FIRST. NOW I AM TRULY AFRAID WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I HAD PLANNED ON THIS BEING MY LAST CAR. NOW I AM RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. 1. STARTING PROBLEMS - CAR OCCASIONALLY WON'T START NO IGNITION NOISE OR CLICKING AT ALL. I WIGGLE THE SHIFTER AROUND AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. 2. RADIO - THE RADIO IS ALWAYS LEFT ON WHEN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON WHEN STARTING. BUT MOST TIMES IT WILL NOT GO ON UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN. THEN THE RADIO WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. 3. REAR SHADE - THE REAR WINDOW SHADE STOPPED WORKING. ONLY MADE A GRINDING NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE HIT THE CONTROL BY THE SHIFTER AND THE GRINDING STARTS UP. EVENTUALLY IT STOPS. 4. HEATER - THE HEATER CONTROLS JUST RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEAT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. NOW ONLY COOL AIR OR SLIGHT AMOUNT OF HEAT BLOWS NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE TEMPERATURE SETTING IS. 5. DOOR AND TRUNK LOCKS - WHEN LOCKING DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE TRUNK OCCASIONALLY DON'T WORK. WHEN I USE THE INTERIOR LOCK SWITCH OR MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR THEY WILL LOCK PROPERLY. 6. DRIVER SIDE CHAIR HEAT - THE BACK OF THE SEAT NO LONGER HEATS UP. THE SEAT CUSHION STILL HEATS UP. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS FINE. *TR
