Latest Hyundai Azera Frequently Asked Questions:
Hyundai was in chapter 11 in 2001. How solid is the company now? Anyone have any feedback the Hyundai Azera? It drives very nicely and has a ton of acceleration. Are there any down sides to consider? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
Answer:Hyundai is the sixth largest car company on the planet. The quality is a lot better than before. The Azera has excellent reviews. You may consider leasing one before buying because the resale value of these cars is still poor. Azera is built in US.
On the Hyundia Azera there is a small circle which resemble a vent on the right side of the dash board and below the AC vents. I can not figure out what it is for! I can't find anything about it in the owners manual. Does anyone know what it is?
Answer:The Circle is actually the in-cabin humidity sensor. It is in the Azera and the Veracruz. The climate control sensor (temperature control) is in the dashboard at the base of the windshield.
I've had this car for not quite 2 months and I hear all sorts of noises when I apply the brakes. Today, it was a loud whistle when I was backing out of the garage. Other times it's a grating metalic noise. The dealership has replaced the rotors and struts, then told me the car was safe, they never hear the noises I do. They tell me that I just needed to drive it and let the car get seated. Am I being fed a line?
Answer:Sounds more like a problem with the brake pads, were they replaced when the rotors/struts were replaced? Brake pads can definitely make the sounds you discribe, though I can't imagine why your's would have worn so fast. I also have a 2006 Azera that now has 11,000 miles on it, but not a single problem so far. As long as your brakes are working the car is safe, but still they should be able to fix the noise issue, pads are less then $100 for high quality pads. You might want to call an independent brake shop and see if they can do warranty work or at least do a check for you. After replacing brake pads you are supposed to do no heavy braking the 1st 100 miles to allow the pads to set, if you didn't do that your pads likely are glazed and need replacing again.
The list price on the car is $35,945.00 and I am being quoted a price of $22,900.00 but I do not know if there are aby other costs involved, also what is the sales tax based on the car after trade or before.
Answer:I have sold a LOT of Hyundais in my career, and absolutely everyone who has purchased an Azera from me has been totally thrilled with it. The price they are quoting you (I assume this is trade difference, and they are accounting for the Cadi.) seems like a fair price to me. Offer them $22,000. If THEY quoted the price, I GUARANTEE you can buy it cheaper than that. They will not let you leave over $900, but that is nearly $20 a month on your payment!! A car salesman is always going to start high to leave room to haggle. Taxes are based on trade difference (after trade) in my state (Texas) and would be around $1700 including tax, title, license, and documentary fee. A fair doc fee would be $75 or so. Remember, the doc fee is negotiable, too. One more thing...(and don't tell anybody I told you this..) the interest rate is usually negotiable, too. Usually you can get a 1-2% reduction just by saying that the rate is too high. The dealership marks up the interest for a profit. Now that you know my tricks, please don't come buy a car here :-) Enjoy your new Hyundai!!
Don't get me wrong, I do regularly wear my seatblet. The thing is that the alarm is so irritating and it goes off even if you turn the car on and you're still in park or if you decide to park and take your seatbelt off in order to relax for a moment. So if anyone would know how this could be done please let me know.
Answer:Check the fuse box and remove the fuse.
