2007 Hyundai Azera electrical problems

Filed Sep 28, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · UT

My 2007 Hyundai Azera is subject to the federal safety agency Recall 18V026 (Hyundai Safety Recall Campaign 172) for water intrusion into the ABS control module causing electrical short circuits and fire risk. The recall remedy — installation of a relay to cut power to the ABS module when the ignition is off — was completed on my vehicle. Despite the completed remedy, the ABS module shorted and failed. At the diagnosing dealer (Hyundai of Ogden, Ogden, UT), technicians found a blown 20A ABS fuse and no communication with the module; when a replacement fuse was installed, the ABS module immediately began smoking. The technician documented water intrusion into the module as the cause — the same failure mode the recall addressed — and noted no outside cause. This occurred with the vehicle powered, a condition the relay remedy does not mitigate. Hyundai Motor America initially approved a 100% goodwill replacement of the module (dealer estimate $5,531.29) but later declined because the part is discontinued and cannot be sourced. The vehicle currently has no functioning ABS. I am filing because the recall remedy did not prevent the recalled defect from recurring: the water intrusion and short-circuit failure occurred on a vehicle that received the remedy. The relay only addresses key-off fire risk; it does not prevent module failure or the associated risk while the vehicle is powered. No injuries occurred.

About two weeks ago, the back portion of the front driver's side seat began moving forward automatically while I was driving the car. I also noticed that when the car is parked the seat would move forward as well. When the seat moves forward, I am put very close to the steering wheel, which makes it difficult to steer and interferes with my ability to brake quickly. Also, because I am so close to the steering wheel, I believe that if the air bags were to deploy I would be unnecessarily harmed. I brought the car to a dealership on december 17, 2014 because of a separate recall notice I was sent. The dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and added corrosive protection to the under carriage of my car. When I asked the service manager if he could run a diagnostic on my car while it was being repaired, he informed me that because the car was not under warranty, I would have to pay $130 dollars. The bts wire in the front passenger seat has already been repaired, at 24,144 miles, so I believe that there could be a connection between the fact that there was a faulty wire in the front passenger seat and the issues I am now having with the front driver's seat.
