Sorry for all the questions, but I've removed the "Hyundai" lettering and I'm now considering removing the "Limited" lettering as well. I'd like to remove the AZERA, but I'm a little leery as I've read of no one else doing it. I'm also considering replacing the "H" with one of the badges I've seen on Dreamka4u.
I'm expecting my No H grille any day and would appreciate any tips you might have on the installation.
Thanks for any advise you can pass on.
I know you asked jnd17 about his debadging, here's a pic of mine without "HYUNDAI" or "LIMITED" on the back. I've yet to figure what I'm going to do with the "H", but I see a craft project using acrylic and a symbol of my favorite sports team on the horizon. I think "AZERA" is going to have to stay considering it seems to be bonded in some fashion to that plastic trim piece it's on.
It's really not THAT serious, and as you see...it ended as quickly as it started (as if you've never gotten off topic before in your life). Come on man, lighten up just a lil bit...life's too short to be THAT serious. :shades:
And now...back to our regularly scheduled program!
I sort of figured that the AZERA was not attached with the usual 3m stuff. I've seen three possible replacements for the 'H', "TG"; "Studie"; and the carbon Ixion logo. I'm waiting to see a photo of any, or all of these, installed.
BTW, your Azera is really sharp looking :shades:
Yeah...I tried prying the letters off and they just didn't want to budge without puttin forth more serious effort. Forward thinking led me to believe that it wouldn't turn out too good.
I too have seen the various badge replacements, but they don't interest me. I'll come up with something custom for a stand alone look. :shades:
Thanks for the compliment...it's a work in progress.
Okay, now before ray or someone else complains or gets upset...let's end this discussion in here or take it to the Accessories forum.
Have a great day!!!
Just thought I'd let other Azera owners know that my brakes have been squealing lately...I have only 13,000KM or 8150 Miles on the car.
I brought it to Hyundai Service today and they are changing ALL my brake pads. Don't know why but am picking up my car tomorrow only.
Will let you know what was the reason for changing all the pads. (Maybe something wrong?)
Regards,
Are brake pads and rotors covered by warranty?
gave up. Tried the ball point pen. Did not work. Finally a few days later a tried with a
tooth pick. It worked! Really have to push hard.
I had a hose to my power steering bust on my '02 Sonata, 2 years into ownership. Took it in, the looked at it...45 minutes later they handed me my keys and said have a nice day.
Strictly speaking, no - they're considered a normal wear item. However, Hyundai gives owners some leeway during the first year/12,000 miles of ownership, so it's not unheard of for the company to replace prematurely worn parts if there's no blatant evidence of abuse. Additionally, if a part, such as brake pads, are upgraded from those originally fit to the car, replacement with the upgraded part will be made under warranty at the descretion of the company.
"descretion of the company" does't give me the greatest sense of secuity with Hyundai. They won't even acknowledge some issues, such as the front end "clunk".
They corrected the "tilt in reverse" side view mirror problem by removing mention of it in the revised owner's manual.
"While the information contained in this brochure was correct at the time of printing, specifications and equipment can change. No warranty or guarantee is being extended in this brochure, and Hyundai reserves the right to change product specifications and equipment at any time without incurring obligations."
While I'm personally becoming increasingly wary over Hyundai's spotty record regarding suspension noise issues in my own upcoming purchase decision in the next year or two, the company's not doing anything differently regarding its warranty and equipment rights than any other mass production automaker.
(We don't even come into this world with an iron-clad warranty of service or complete and fully functional equipment. Do we complain about our Maker's policies? )
I was not refering to the sales brochure. I was told about this feature by my salesperson.
I did not realize that this feature had been eliminated at the time I picked up my car. Later that day, when I noticed that the tilt was not working, I called the dealership.
I was advised to bring the car in so that they could correct the problem. I did so, and they attempted to determine why the tilt feature didn't work. It took two days before they were informed by corporate that the feature had been eliminated.
This is exactly what mean pertaing to the poor comunication between the company and it's dealers and customers.

I thought I'd give everyone an update on my brakes.
They've changed all my brake pads on the 4 wheels. They also smooth out the disk breaks on all 4 wheels. Very happy with the results.
They said one of my pads in the front was defective and they decided not to take any chances by changing all of them.
Regards,
I was confident that it would have been an issue covered under warranty as most normal front brake pads will last a minimum of 35K miles under "normal" driving conditions. The rears tend to last almost twice as long, as they take less punishment. For you to have had a brake problem with only 13K miles on the car...it had to be something defective.
Happy motoring, Sergio19!!! :shades:
Maybe, you should start a new forum topic pertaining to the clunk and get everyone that posts there that has that same problem to contact Hyundai Corp. and lodge the complaint. Maybe then, they'll do something about it and look into sending out a TSB to all dealers so it can be a universal fix.
If you can't get the service department to do anything about it, go to the other end and work your way down. Outside of your posting of this issue, I've only seen a few other posts from other people of the same issue. Just how prevalent is the problem? If you can't get anything done at one dealership's service department, maybe you should try going to another one and see if they handle your problem differently...you might be surprised!
However...I only state this as my own personal opinion.
The fact that your dealer seems to be the issue, I would try going to another dealer and see if they can step up to the plate...you might be surprised.
The manufacturers only wish that could get a new customer for every one that goes somewhere else.
Look at Ford and GM and Chrysler. They are losing market share at an astonishing rate. Ford, it is told, has less than 180 days of working capital left.
In most cases the dealers are only a small part of the problem. They are not being supported by corporate. Total lack of communication and cooperation on Hyundai USA's part.
I intend to go synthetic after first "early" 3,000 change.
Limp home mode must be set by dealer. I can't understand why dealer doesn't know how to set it, as this same mode was in 06 model.
Took in our 06 Azera because there was a very small nick in the steering wheel.Sewrvice mgr didn't want to do anything about it. Car is 6 months old. I mentioned this board, what was done for others and how often it was happening. He left for about 2 minutes and came back and said a new steering has been ordered and should be in in about a week. Got the new stewering wheel pout on today. It took about 60 minutes. Thanks to everyone. Work was done in West Allis Wi.
Unfortunately, you are correct.
The Service Manager at my local dealership knew nothing about the steering wheel delamination problem until I advised him. He than called his Hyundai rep. who authorized the warranty replacement.
They still know nothing about a suspension "clunk" problem that many have experienced.
My dealership still has not been updated with many 07 models on their parts department computer software.

I guess there IS many a slip between the cup and the lip... :confuse:
Accoring to the Parts Department Manager at my local dealership, the computer parts catalogue that they use, and is supplied by Hyundai is a different format than the one that you reference.
I don't know why there are different formats at different dealerships. One would think that all Hyundai dealerships would be on the same system.
I know you gotta see this coming...
So easy, a cave man can do it! :P
However, to each his own. If you have a madness to makes the method work for you, by all means...carry on.
Anyways, I had a question for you guys, so i was wondering, how much cheaper is it to do the oil change myself? also, where do you guys throw away used motor oil if I were to do my own oil change? and how long would it take? I am a student so I am rather busy and poor. I want to be able to save some money here and there so I am considering to do it myself. But if it takes too much time, I am probably better off studying instead.
The biggest difference is I get to do it when I want it done and I don't have to wait in any lines.
As far as getting rid of the oil, you can take to Pep Boys or check with your local service station as well.
On average, the oil change takes between 20-30 minutes from start to finish.
Drop in oil filters have been used forever. I have never heard of a failure to the filter canister.
Well, here is the deal:
I have 11150mi on my azzy i bought last march - no probs so far except for a chipped door handle, replaced free.
this service is free for me, but it really is just oil change and fluids.
I asked the guys at Planet Hyundai to program my door locks for me - they said $25 bucks. I told them I thought that we free since they never did it before.
Does this sound right to your guys? or should i go to another dealer and see if they will hook me up?
thanx
