    10 years, 100,000 miles.
    You can either transfer the extended warranty or Hyundai will pro-rate it.

    Cool...I'm not worried about it personally...I plan on burning every mile of that warranty up myself! ;)

    Mike
    My fun car is a 98 Seebring covertible, Candy Apple Red.
    It just turned 21,000 miles.
    I spend twice the time washing it as driving it.
    At this rate at 100,000 mile warranty would last about 40 + years.
    My doc tells me that my warranty is much shorter.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    There is nothing wrong with that at all. Personally, my fun car right now is my Azera (I love driving it). It currently has just under 30K miles on it. At this rate, I'll rack up 100K miles in just over 4 years.

    However, once I'm able to begin working on my project vehicle (2003 Xterra w/ 24K miles on it), that will become my steady driver. So...the Azera will get a rest then because I'm gonna wanna ride all over in it when I get it completed!!! ;)

    you say, "...the 2nd buyer would get 5yrs/60K miles for the powertrain only."

    That is a big change. Are you sure?

    So far as I know, until reading your post I never heard anyone say that the 5 year/60,000 mile factory bumper to bumper warranty was not transferable to (an unlimited number of) subsequent owners.

    But I do realize that after 2003 the 10 year/100,000 mile factory powertrain warranty is no longer transferable within the original purchaser's family.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Yeah...it's a big change, guess that's one thing that the 2nd owner doesn't benefit as much as the orginal owner.

    Like I said before, it's a non-issue with me as I plan on driving my Azera throughout the entire warranty.
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    So then, how long do you think the factory bumper to bumper warranty is for subsequent owners?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    I don't think the bumper to bumper warranty transfers over. I think it only pertains to the powertrain.

    If the bumper to bumper did transfer over, then the subsequent owner MIGHT get the remaining balance that's left. Not 100% sure on that one though.
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    Yes, of course I was referrring to the balance of the original 60 month/60,000 bumper to bumper factory warranty. Only the remaining balance would be available to subsequent owners.
    And why would you only think it MIGHT be transferable? Sounds like your belief may be that the subsequent owner gets NO bumper to bumper warranty whatsoever, even if he buys the used car during the year of its manufacture and with only 100 miles on the odometer
    Did you think I was telling you that every subsequent owner would receive full ADDITIONAL 5 years and 60,000 miles? Haha. Now that WOULD be a maker standing behind its product!
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    That's a fine link, but it does not really speak about transferability of the various coverages, so far as I can read there anyway.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Ummmmmmmmmm...you've got it twisted buddy.

    It's not a belief...it's a reality, the bumper-to-bumper warranty does NOT go to the subsequent owner, only the powertrain warranty.

    As far as the powertrain warranty goes, the original owner gets 10yr/100K miles. Owner number 2 would only get 5yr/60K miles and I'm sure it's not from milage or date of purchase either. So if buyer #2 purchases a 2003 with 40K miles on it...essentially, there would be 1 year left or 20K miles.

    If there is any bumper-to-bumper warranty after the original owner...it's not from the manufacturer.
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    Nah, you are wrong. Call Hyundai USA if you are still confused.

    Up to 5 years or 60,000 miles warranty sticks with the car. It covers almost all of the car to the original and subsequent owners.

    That part of the warranty has not changed.

    Also, what is the true dealer cost on a fully loaded Azera, anyway?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    So then why is it under the powertrain warranty, the specificially state original and subsequent owner, but under, now get this...NEW CAR WARRANTY, they mention nothing about subsequent owners??? Oh, that's right because any subsequent owner would NOT be getting a NEW CAR, so the NEW CAR WARRANY would be invalid at that point.

    Notice, there is no bumper-to-bumper warranty, it's categorized as new car warranty. The original owner is the only one that would have a new car.

    So YOU call Hyundai and make sure you check with them specifically about the NEW CAR WARRANTY and it's tranferability.

    As far as true dealer cost on a fully loaded Azera...I would assume you're talking about a Limited with the Ultimate Package...probably around $27K.

    "That's a fine link, but it does not really speak about transferability of the various coverages, so far as I can read there anyway."

    The last link on that site, labeled Hyundai Protection Plan has, as paragraph #7 under "Why should I buy a Hyundai Protection Plan?"

    7. TRANSFERABLE - To enhance the resale value of your Hyundai, you (the original purchaser) can transfer the Hyundai Protection Plan to one subsequent purchaser.
  • floridabob1floridabob1 Member Posts: 1,190
    RE:3759
    The Hyundai Protection Plan is the optional extended warranty which is a 100,000 mile 10 year bumper to bumper warranty that IS transferable.
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    Allmet, the bumper to bumper new car warranty is only limited by time and mileage, whichever is exhausted first, not the number of owners.
    Your reasoning is faulty because you have arrived at the wrong conclusion.
    You are wrong about the B2B warranty. And you'd be wrong about that on every new car warranty I can think of, not just Hyundai.
    You don't have to fret,guess or wonder about it. Call Hyundai USA if you do not understand their website info.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Hey Joe, I'm quite aware of that and that was something that I stated earlier(refer to post #3752) that IF it was transferable, that the subsequent buy would probably only get the remaining balance of what was left. Oh, and by the way...ALL warranties are limited by time and mileage unless it's stated as an UNLIMITED warranty.

    However, after going to the Hyundai website and reading all the warranty statements...the new car warranty states nothing about transferability while the powertrain warranty specifically states that it's transferable. Please, oh wiser than everyone else, please tell me how I could possibly arrive at the wrong conclusion!

    Since you're the one making the statements, why don't YOU call Hyundai and tell us what you find out. Oh yeah, give us a name of the person you spoke to so that we can confirm your findings as well. Personally, I really don't care if any warranty is transferable as I will be using every possible mile available under mine.

    Oh yeah, you mean to tell me that if you walked on to Jim's Used Auto lot and bought an '05 Corolla with 20K miles on it, that Toyota would honor 1 more year or 16K miles of a bumper-to-bumper warranty??? You're crazy!
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    You say, "Oh yeah, you mean to tell me that if you walked on to Jim's Used Auto lot and bought an '05 Corolla with 20K miles on it, that Toyota would honor 1 more year or 16K miles of a bumper-to-bumper warranty??? "

    Allmet, that is exactly true!
    The warranty stays with the car. Call Toyata if you don't believe it.
    That is, unless for some unusual reason the warrranty has been voided due to total loss accident or improper maintenance or repair, or if it was used commercially.
    The bumper to bumper warranty is transferable to ALL subsequent owners of a car until the mileage or time limit expires.
    Hahahaha! Now besides being a warranty specialist you are a psychiatrist too?

    Oh, and if you will re-read the 10 year 100,000 mile factory powetrain warranty (not the extended warranty) you'll discover it is NOT transferable to anyone, not even a family member since after the 2003 model year. You had that backwards.

    Ask around, nearly everyone else who understands new car warranties agrees with me. So I am not claiming to be wiser than everyone else.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Joe...as taken from the HYUNDAI USA website...

    With you seeming to know all the answers, why post a question?

    As I stated earlier, I didn't THINK so, but IF it could...then the subsequent buyer would get the remaining balance of the 5YR/60K mile warranty. I never gave anyone a DEFINITE yes it could or no it couldn't.

    At any rate, it seemed like you just wanted an argument, so I argued with you. Since you NEED to have someone tell you that you're right...YOU'RE RIGHT JOE131!!!
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    Exactly as I said, Allmet.

    The bumper to bumper warranty, which includes the powertrain, is good to all subsequent owners too, up to the 5 year, 60,000 mile limit.
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    My only goal here was to correct the (shocking to me) misinformation you put in your posts about the transferability of factory bumper to bumper warranties.

    Here is how they actually work:
    They include the powertrain.
    They do transfer to subsequent owners.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Why is it shocking that someone could be wrong? I am human and I'm not afraid to state as much. While I may usually post correct and helpful information...there are times I may be incorrect. I'm sorry if I didn't hold up to your above human standards and disappointed you.

    Please, oh please find it in your gracious heart to forgive me Mighty Joe!!!
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    No apology and no forgiveness is necessary. And you did not disappoint me. And even if someone here does disappoint someone else, who cares? Not I.
    It was not you being wrong that was shocking. Everyone is wrong once in a while.
    What shocked me was your statements about the new car warranty. So, I researched it a little and found accurate facts.
    I'm just glad the truth has replaced the mistakes so readers won't get the wrong ideas.
    The members of this forum should strive for that, right?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    What is shocking is that you would ask a question that as you saw, a little research answered for you definitively.

    Honestly, I was being to lazy to do the research to answer your question, which led you to do it yourself and find out that without equivocation...that the subsequent buyers get the remaining balance of 5yr/60k miles for both powertrain and b2b warranty. In your searching...did you find out whether or not the roadside assistance warranty is transferrable as well?
  • joe131joe131 Member Posts: 998
    Yep.

    5 YEAR / UNLIMITED MILES
    24-HOUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE Covers towing (including accident-related), lock-out, flat tire, and battery failure.

    Covers vehicle, regardless if current owner is original or subsequent owner.

  • fgfanfgfan Member Posts: 3
    I have a 2006 Azera with 1100 miles on it and the throttle control seems to be faulty. On cold start up, or after a hot soak, I get a pronounced stumble when starting off. This feels like the ignition was turned off and on for a brief moment. No problem after warm up. Also while cruising, in city traffic, the throttle control feels sorta remote. Transitions from off to on are not smooth. Feels more like a switch, as opposed to a rheostat. Haven't talked to dealer, as I would like to have more info before going through that nightmare. Thanks in advance!

    I've owned on '06 SE since Jan of this year. Periodically, the rear passenger-side door lock will not disengage. The lock appears to unlock but you cannot open the door from outside or from within. I thought that the child safety lock might be the problem. Nope -- the CSL was disengaged. When I took it to the dealer the first time it happened (winter after some inclement weather) I was told that the lock probably had frozen. They could not duplicate th problem. It happened several more times in the cold weather, each time after some sort of precipitation. Well, now the weather has warmed and the problem has resurfaced. Bringing it into the dealer this Friday. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
  • gamlegedgamleged Member Posts: 442
    First I've read of this lock problem on any Azera forum...
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Sounds like a new issue and you might be the only one with it. I too haven't heard of this problem...could just be an issue with a connection to the lock mechanism itself.

    At any rate...it'll DEFINITELY be covered by your warranty.
  • tictac3tictac3 Member Posts: 78
    The warranty won't do me any good if the dealer cannot replicate the problem! Per service advisor, they can't fix what they can't see.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    That is why I say it must be a loose connection somewhere if it's not a consistent problem. However, there may come a time when the issue does present itself on a constant basis. I just simply mentioned that it will be covered under warranty to imply you won't have to worry about anything.

    I bought azera 2006 last june...
    I have visited more than 6 times for warranty services such as rottle in sonroof, driver seat problem, brake...........
    However, they couldn't be serious problems to me. I can stand ....

    But, I got serious problem in cooling system. Coolant and engine oil are mixing each other. You can see lots of dirty in radiator when you open that cap.

    they are never supposed to mix or meet together.
    What about in sylinder? We are not sure coolant come thru.

    Hyundai called me seriously when they got my claim. Actually, I wrote a letter to them with some verification pictures.

    In korea, I saw more than 60 azera with this problem. You can see that in www.clubtg.com if you can understand Korean.

    if you want those picture, just sendme a email..
  • pahefner01pahefner01 Member Posts: 202
    I appreciate the "heads up" on this situation. I went out this morning and took my radiator cap off and took a sample of my radiator fluid. Fortunately it looked like smelled like and felt like just anti-freeze. I will keep an eye on it though.
    Have you noticed any steam coming from your exhaust. I had a Chevy pickup with a head gasket leak and it sould steam out the exhaust until the engine heated up and "sealed" the head gasket leak.
  • pahefner01pahefner01 Member Posts: 202
    I would think that the only way this could happen is either a bad head gasket allowing coolant and oil to mix there or a leak in one of the water jackets around the engine.
    You might want to report this to the NHSTA.
  • spoolenturbospoolenturbo Member Posts: 5
    Anyone have yet to experience the bolster's (parts that stick forward) having wearing problems? My wife's Azera has the driver & passenger bolsters nearest the door wearing as if I had 80 grit sandpaper on my butt and scuffed them? This really pissed me off when I saw it yesterday.

    IS this a 2006 Leather seat issue? Any info would be great!
  • hjc1hjc1 Member Posts: 183
    I had the same problem with a 99 Solara. Started showing wear after 4000 miles....replaced under warranty BUT
    the problem didn't go away started again at about 6000 miles
    and was replaced under warranty. The third time Toyota said NO.....I had to take them to arbitration and they lost.
    Got rid of the car after that.....I had a GL350L after that and no problems after 42000 miles. I now own a 2007 Azera
    and absolutely no problems. I would take your problem to the dealer and have it replaced under warranty
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Check the lemon law in your state. I know here in MD, if you have the same problem 3 times...the car must be replaced!!!

    Sounds like a first time issue (haven't seen anyone else post about it). Could have been a manufacturer's "defect" from the assembly line. Hopefully, the dealer can fix it right the first time and you won't have any other issues with it. Good luck.
  • spoolenturbospoolenturbo Member Posts: 5
    hjc1 >> Thanks for the FYI man! Really glad to hear your Azera is doing good. I will fight the dealership with this issue if need be. Also my wifes SunShade just went out, totally stopped working and now if you try and use it all you get is a LOUD grinding and clicking... LOL... Guess I will become friends with the service the dept. I will report back what they do.

    Thanks again,

    RE: 3784
    My sunshade has been replaced twice.
    It's a bear of a job.
    Rear seats and rear side airbags must be removed.
    Rear shelf cover removed.
    Sunshade removed.
    Reverse process for install.
    Make sure new unit is installed with top guide wheels tight against glass when in up position.
    If not, the fabric will crease after short time.

    I just came across this new Azera grille available at www.kdmstuff.com

    imageSee more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com

    I thought some of you forum readers may be interested.

    Mike (allmet33), I know you are working on customizing your grille. Have you seen this?

    I need to make another appointment. I've gone through two "air bag sensors" in the passenger seat within a year. The "air bag" light is on yet again and the "buckle up" light flashes for the passenger even though nobody is sitting there.

    Has anybody else had this problem? It is very annoying since I have to take off work to take the car in. If the "air bag" light is on, does that mean the air bags will not deploy in an accident? I hate to drive if the airbags won't work.

    I am not happy.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    You too??? My problem surfaced after hitting a pothole really hard though. Not sure if the pothole caused the problem, but since then...my air bag lights have been on. I took it in once and they looked it over and couldn't figure out what was wrong, so they cleared the codes from the system. That worked fine for a couple of weeks. However, now...the airbag light on the driver's side just stays on and the passenger air bag light does it's own thing depending on it's mood I guess. :confuse:

    It is an inconvenience, but as my momma used to say...a little rain must fall.

    I'll be taking mine back in and this time, they informed me that they would need to keep the car and pretty much disassemble the interior to access the air bag control module and get to all the sensors so they can test all the connections and relays. :sick:

    Good luck with yours, I'll post the results after I've taken it in.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...that is an interesting one. They also have a new one on KoreanAutoImports as well, along with a body kit that looks...SWEET!

    I did always wonder how the grille would look if it was all black (for the most part).

    The grille I was planning on has taken a back seat to some other things for the time being. However...I'll be back on that project soon.

    Thanks for the heads up!!!
  • cobrazeracobrazera Member Posts: 352
    I'm waiting for someone to come out with a stainless steel mesh grille for the Azera. Has anyone seen one of those anywhere?
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    There's a company out in Bakersfield, CA called K-Daddy Kustomz that made a show Azera and it featured a mesh grille. I contacted them and they said that the show car had one made of aluminum, but they could make a stainless one that would run around $300.

    For now, my plan is to purchase a grille from someone that has changed theirs out and make my own. The chrome mesh material can be ordered for like $75. After that, it'll just be time and patience.
  • cobrazeracobrazera Member Posts: 352
    I'm looking into the DIY route, too, but it'd be a lot easier if I could buy a blank, painted grille insert without having to cut and paint my OEM one. That new grille that was pictured yesterday, looks pretty decent, but I'd prefer a larger opening.
  • allmet33allmet33 Member Posts: 3,557
    Do like I did, put a posting out asking if anyone has changed their grille to the non "H" grille and wants to get rid of their original grille. I'm sure a great number of folks would respond to you.

    That is the route I'm taking and you won't have to remove your grille until you've gotten the custom one done.
  • grayfoxgrayfox Member Posts: 166
    My "H" pearl white OEM grille is available. Make an offer.
    Perfect condition.
