BRAKES WERE LOOSE TOOK TO SHOP TOLD IT WAS MASTER CYLINDER, WENT THROUGH THREE MASTER CYLINDERS THEN THE ABS, BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH PANEL, LOST CRUISE CONTROL. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL. IT IS A QUESTION WHETHER THE BRAKES WILL STOP THE CAR IN TIME SINCE WE NEED TO GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. DEALER SAID $4,000+ TO GET IT FIXED, AND IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE AS IT IS. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF A LIFE IS LOST OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURS? SHOULDN'T A PART AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE ABS MODULE BE WARRANTED OR RELACED?

BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARDER TO PUSH DOWN ON. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR LIT. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI REPAIR CENTER BUT THEY REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT AS I DID NOT HAVE "AN APPOINTMENT" AND WAS ASKED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COME BACK. TOOK IT TO A NEARBY REPAIR STATION (PEPBOYS) WHO READ THE ERROR AS A FAULTY BRAKE A/B SWITCH BUT COULD NOT RECTIFY IT AS THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR CENTER. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND ADVISED ON THE RECALL. CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ON THE CLAIM AS THE EXACT VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE 2007 AZERA HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING THE DASHBOARD COVER REPLACED DUE TO DEFECT IN COVER, THE ESC/ABS SYSTEM BEGAN ENGAGING AT APPROX 28 MPH ON RIGHT HAND CURVES. SYSTEM WAS TRYING TO APPLY BRAKE TO ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS. PAVEMENT WAS WARM AND DRY AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN A SKID SITUATION. DEALER AND HYUNDAI CORPORATE ENGINEERS HAVE TRIED TO FIND CAUSE AND CORRECT BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE ESC/ABS SYSTEM(S) MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED IN SLIPPERY-ROAD CONDITIONS.

2007 HYUNDAI AZERA BRAKE ISSUES. AT 11K MILES ROTORS WERE MACHINED. AT 12500 MILES, ROTORS WERE REPLACED. PADS NEVER REPLACED. AT 22K MILES CAR SHAKES A GREAT DEAL DUE TO HOT SPOTS ON ROTORS. DEALERSHIP MACHINED AGAIN BUT DOES NOT REPLACE PADS. SO THE CAR HAS 23K MILES ON IT WITH TWO SETS OF ROTORS AND 3X MACHINED ROTORS. BUT IT IS MY DRIVING HABITS EVEN THOUGHT I HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES, ONLY DRIVE HIGHWAY, AND HAVE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH BRAKES ON THE OTHER CAR. ROTORS/BRAKES VERY POOR ON 07 AZERA. *TR
