It was eliminated by the manufacturer without them advising dealers of the change.
This feature was included on the 350 Series.
The 2004 2004 model even had 2 different remotes which could be set for 2 drivers whch would allow the doors to be unlocked and all memory seat and mirror functions prior to entering car.
I would avoid Audio Express and Viper Alarms. Viper Alarms are made and sold by Directed Electronics who also make numerous other alarms including Clifford requires that Viper alarms be installed by an "authorized dealer". Audio Express is an authorized dealer. Apparently Directed Electronics does not monitor their "authorized dealers". I plan to pursue some sort of monetary recourse with Audio Express and Directed Electronics for putting me at risk by compromising my brakes and potential long time damamge to my pads or rotors.
DO NOT SUBJECT YOURSELF TO A DIRECTED ELECTRONICS ALARM AND/OR ANY PRODUCT INSTALLED BY AUDIO EXPRESS.
I'm just glad my car is back and the problem was not with Hyundai and the brakes work.
They say you get what you pay for but that did not happen with Directed Electronics and Audio Express.
They sound like keepers to me.
(One thing's for certain, Phil - if there was ever any rust on the swept area of those front rotors, it ain't there no mo'! )
As for Audio Express and Directed Electronics I'm not done with them yet. This reckless disregard for a safety issue will not pass away in the night now that my car is fixed. They will be hearing from me, a lot. Lesson learned here was never let anyone touch your Hyundai unless it's someone you are confident in their knowledge and service. Audio Express and Directed Electronics will pay up one way or the other, if you know what I mean. They may wind up with my name on a bronze plaque on their list of their most hated customers which is an honor I will proudly live with.
Rotors with heat spots rarely can be turned because the lathe bit 'chatters' aross the heat spot.
You deserve new rotors or a prorated rotor replacement.
If they give you a hard time ask them to do a metallurgical analysis on both your rotors to prove they are not damaged. It would be cheaper for them to be replaced.
Without even looking at the car I was told that the rough idle was probably "normal" which merely confirms my feeling that it is a "common" complaint. Was told I needed to make an appointment - earliest appointment was 10 days out.
Regarding tire issues I was informed that Michelin would not honor a replacement request without the results of a
"Road Forced/Match Ballanced" test. My local Michelin dealer does not have the $20,000. machine required to perform this test.
At a cost of $130.96 the local Goodyear dealer performed the test. The Goodyear dealer claims that on new tires he replaces any tire which exceeds 25LB on this test. My readings were 12LB, 29LB, 34LB, 35LB.
So, it seems that 3 of 4 tires need to be replaced. First response from Michelin was to have the test repeated at a "Michelin Dealer". Nearest Michelin dealer with proper equipment to perform the test is 38 miles away. The Tire Saga Begins
I told them that I would bring my car to the nearest authorized Michelin dealer listed on their website and allow them to perform any test they cared to.
When I arrived at the Michelin dealer he called Michelin and explained to them that I had given him the printed results of the "road forced/matched balanced" test.
This test is performed when wheels will not come into balance on a traditional spin ballancing machine. Apparently a special machine is used that measures the heaviest point on the wheel & tire then the tire is rotated on the wheel to a point where the heavy spots are 180 degrees apart. Then the tires/wheels are spin ballanced.
The tire dealer told Michelin that anything he could do by either re-ballancing or rotating would likly make the degree of vibration worse.
So, Michelin has authorized replacement of 3 tires. The tire dealer told me it would take 7-10 days to get the tires as they were not available from the area distributor.
Hopefully the new tires will solve the vibration issue.
I just went through this with a Honda, one of my wheels got bent (how...who knows, but my teenaged son drives my car some times??) and the tire dealer couldn't balance the tire/wheel. Got a new (used) wheel and problem was solved.
Good luck with your Azera, we really like ours.
To everyone else, keep your car away from any Audio Express store, they also do lots of car audio installs, and keep away from any product manufactured by Directed Electronics who obviously does not monitor their "authorized dealers" and instead let companies that are reckless with regards to safety be the "authorized" installers of their products.
Unfortunately, Phil, it's a long established tradition under tort law that proof must come from the accuser, not the defendant - some inconvenient gotcha about a presumption of innocence until proved otherwise or some such... That's true in both civil and criminal litigation. In theory, Audio Express and/or Directed Electronics wouldn't even have to take the stand in their own defense. I doubt they'd even bother responding to a letter demanding proof that their product/installation wasn't faulty. On the other hand, if you could get either or both companies to sue you for defamation, you'd have it/them right where you want either or both. Sending off a letter to the NHTSA to have on file is a start, but the agency's website states upfront that it won't get involved in individual consumer complaints. Only when it's satisfied that there's a general fault in a product will it consider a recall action. There's no doubt ya' got wronged, Bud, but your options for resolution and material restitution are limited. Too bad what that smarmy kid pulled took five years off your life. I hope the little moron learned something...
After that it is fine.
I can feel a little vibration that time.
I went to dealer, but they did not find any problem.
Does anyone have this problem?
Or have solution?
I found the discussion at the sonata 2006+ forum.
This forum is better than technicians at my Hyundai dealer.
Has anyone heard of this? I have been pretty happy with the Azera so far, with the exception of this problem.
Accord owners are reporting the same thing - appears to be an intentional electrical design consideration to unload the alternator from the system when unneeded using what Honda terms an "ELD" (electrical load device) to maximize fuel economy. (I experienced the same phenomenon with my '96 Accord.) Check out post 1656 for more on this.
(Yeah, I know - other than being severely dyslexic, I have great reading comprehension skills... )
the speedometer needle is moving back-and-forth constantly.
Not very much but a little bit (about 2 mph length).
I have not seen a car doing like this.
So I went to service center, they exchanged the cluster.
But it still does.
They said all azeras do like this.
Is it true?
Does anyone have this problem?
And the trip mileage on trip computer reset to 0 sometimes.
My azera has so many problems. :mad:
Does it only happen with the cruise function on?
Thanks.
I too have experienced the trip o meter being reset to zero sometimes. It occurs after I shut the car off, and check it the next day! I have never seen it reset during the same driving session.
Azeradave, your situation sounds like a glitch that would call for that unit to be replaced. Could be a short in the button causing it to reset. While it may not hinder the safety or driveablity of your Azera, it can be aggrevating like a gnat in your ear at a cookout.
Regular manual comes in volume 1 and 2 $75.00 each
There is a seperate transmission manual $30.00
They can be ordered from any Hyundai dealer
pen, and it worked out just swell. Thanks again.carmaven 75
Anybody have the autolock enabled & still get a chirp ?
Are you expecting to hear the chirp when the doors lock while you're in motion??? That doesn't happen.
I do know that you will not get the chirp confirmation if you lock the car with the key fob and a door isn't closed all the way or if the trunk is open as well.
Good luck!
Joe D also brought autogeek.com to my attention, and I'm very glad he did. The have some wonderful products that you won't find at the local auto parts store. Many of them will take care of the swirls and marring, as well as out shine many of the more common products.
That said - I feel your pain, and hope your baby looks better real soon.
Best of Luck,
Warren
