AZERAS just doesn't sound right.
Try "CARS".

Supposedly I bought the first(or maybe second) black limited/ultimate in AZ which they had shipped from Tucson and they STILL gave me a deal.
If Power is doing this then they are idiots. If I were even charged sticker price I would have walked out and bought the new maxima. And for a premium?...now your flirting with Acura TL/Infinity G35 territory...not good competition for an "economy" car
:P
I know dealers add these stickers so they can elevate the price for financing, or to give the buyer some extra $$ toward a trade-in so they are not upside down.
If you ever watch "King of Cars" on A&E TV, they had a cusotmer that had a car that was $10K upside down and managed to turn him into a new Durango. He must be carrying at least 10-12K over market in his loan. Yipes!
I hope you seriously consider posting a picture of the enhancement you made to your grill.I would be very interested in seeing it as I would like to do the same to my Azera.
Also, could you provide us with some cost information on what you did and how long did it take you?
Thanks.
(PS - you know I'm just pulling your leg, doncha?)
Is it well written and illustrated?
Does it include information about accessories and audio system?
Azera 12/17/05 :shades:
me to the hyundai suzuki service in capitol expressway. The moment I explained to a service manager there about my problem, he said that he had a similar customer before. He said that he will let the same mechanic to look into my problem... Anyway, to make the story short, I got my car returned today. Boy, what a huge difference. I am totally satisfied with their eagerness, willingness and honesty trying solve my problem at their shop. They even managed to clean my car outside as a complimentary. Like you said, that hyudai dealer and service department is truly outstanding. In fact, I was so happy that I even requested oil change on the same day. I do have to admit though, that I was kind of skeptical at first because other hyundai dealers returned my car saying it's normal. But this hyundai service explained thoroughly all the details of the problem my car had. Now, my car is running even smoother and quieter. And the sound is almost similar from left to right. It's a good feeling to have a reliable and professional service department around here in Bayarea.

Why not go to HMAService, register, and have a look-see for yourself? Hyundai's archived the shop manuals online for every model ever sold in the U.S. When you initially log on after registering, pay particular attention to the "Site Requirements" section - there're several add-ons necessary to display the graphics in addition to Adobe Reader. Those add-ons' links are highlighted so they can be accessed right from Hyundai's site for download and installation.
You can get a similar deal at FitzMall in Gaithersburg, Md. I just turned down the deal there yesterday only because I didn't want to make the trip to pick up the car.
Also, I was quoted a price of $26,767 OUT THE DOOR, TAX, ETC. INCLUDED) by Fred Beans Hyundai in Doylestown, Pa.
It has happened on 3 cars including mine - they are waiting on parts to come in to change mine out. :confuse:
Every service manual that I have purchased in the past has been very complete and well illustrated, giving step by step instructions for removal, rebuilding and re-installation of all components.
The replacement screen has to be brought in from Korea.
It is still not in, although it was placed on a "priority" order.
The same thing happened with another part that required replacement.
The communication between the local dealers and the Hyundai part depot is very poor.
It is my belief that the difficulty is on the corporate side, rather than the dealer.
I am not an Azera owner, but am giving it a serious look. I took one for a test drive last week. The salesman drove it off the lot to show me a few things. I guess he didnt see the city police car at the light as he punched it, chirping the tires.
The things that I recall was that the ride was nice and easy, with a big car feel, kinda Buick-like. My current ride is a 97 BMW 528i so the Azera's FWD would become familiar in time. The interior space was magnificent. The dashboard config is a smooth bulb, but considering all things in total, interior space, engine power, creature comforts, it's a secret bargain.
It has most of the familiar niceties of my 528i. Its like a value edition of a BMW 745i. Unfortunately, the Korean engines are not as refined as the Japanese, but in time, I think they'll get a lot closer. Then Toyota and Honda will be in deep kimchee. A car the size of the Azera getting an EPA 28mpg hwy is not too shabby, tho to get it, you will have to be feather light on the gas pedal and be in the economy driving mode. Darn nice ride.
just a joke ...
Like when I got caught wearing summer tires this time..

Thanks Pat
Oh thats just to easy :shades:

im a tibby owner and our site is really popular but we are buying a azera and its hard to find people to talk 2!
Really... I have the feeling you may not've delved deeply enough to discover that the initially listed topics went to multiple sub-sections - in some cases three, four, sometimes more depths. But, perhaps I'm just too easily impressed.
1. On a 2001 PT CRuiser, the performance and response from the engine (not known for being quick) improved noticeably when I went over 2500 miles.
2. On a 2004 Honda Element, the mileage went up 2-3 mpg after 5000 miles of driving.
Can I explain why? No. Back when the PT was new, there was an online discussion about the ECU being set specifically so the driver couldn't damage the engine early in the break-in time.
I hope the Azera will pick up a couple mpg when it is broken in. With 1600 miles, it is getting 16.5 in town driving
The replacement is a very tedious job.
Battery must be disconnected due to air bag system.
The rear seat must be removed. The side airbag system and all interior side trim from seat back must be removed.
The rear deck trim including center rear brake light must be removed.
The sunshade unit is held in place by about 6 bolts. Some of them are not easily reached. An air operated wrench was required for the removal.
The reassembly was the reverse of the removal.
The computer needed to be reset using the Hyundai code reader.
There were no locations of the shade unit which needed lubrication.
The mechanic who performed the replacement was very proficient and neat.
The job took about 1 1/2 hours.
Also, word of note, I've now got just over 15K miles on my Azera and I am dropping the car off tonight for them to look at my sun roof to see why it's not seating flush when it closes. I'm also going to have them look at the issue with one side of the car being lower than the other (in my case I measured an 1 difference between the two sides).
Other than that, the car performed and handled the trip admirably. Everyone was pretty comfortable for the whole trip (12 hours) and from a driving standpoint, I never got fatigued or restless in the driver's seat. Granted, it's not a Mercedes, but...with a few refinements here and there, this car will be darn near perfect.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is set to unveil proposed rules for stability control that also will include testing standards for auto manufacturers.

reports list luxury car makers having them.
Guess who also has it ? Hyundai Azera!!
GM has stepped up from 3/36 to 5/100,000, Ford and Dodge should soon follow. Question is will the quality improve? :confuse:
FYI, KIA dealers can do oil changes, no warranty work. This may provide some convenience.
FYI, Changed tire valve caps from plastic to metal with internal rubber washers. Air pressure more constant over time.
I recall seeing several posts regarding this issue.
Is this common? How is it resolved?
Don't drive at night.
Ducking and running
