In 2023, Hyundai approved to pay for repairs of vehicles that suffer premature engine failures due to issues such as low oil, metal debris and/or fire in the engine. These issues were predominately found in the GDI engines in Kia and Hyundai vehicles. This suit failed to take into account the Hyundai Azera model and the 3.3 GDI engine. Same engine maker as the 2.2 and 2.4 models. My car stalled out in the middle of traffic with no warning lights for low oil or engine issues. The car was serviced previously with no coded issues noted accept excessive oil burning which was noted with all Hyundai models from the last decade. The GDI 3.3 has the most noted issues and is the most expensive to replace from the dealer. The engines are failing before the car is broken in the manufacture is making money on the replacement engines from customers who are still trying to pay the car off.
This recall on the anti-lock brake system was initiated 11 months ago. I brought the Azera into the dealer 2 months ago and they said they had to order parts. I called today and spoke to the parts department. He said he is restricted from ordering the correct part and has no idea when he will be able to order it. Why is Hyundai stalling with this recall?
I was driving on a highway when my vehicle started to stall. My acceleration had dropped quickly and I couldn't speed up. I put on my hazard lights and was able to drive off the closest exit. Once I got off the exit, my car stalled completely. I had to get it towed to my daughter's house because I am originally from a different city and was out of town. I had a mechanic take a look and it and they stated that he wouldn't be able to fix it because the engine that I had was under a recall. I researched the information on my engine and determined that the GDI engine that I have is the same engine that is on the Hyundai Santa Fe, which is currently under recall.

My engine stalled. It is a GDI Lambda engine, which apparently has oil consumption issues.
At 120k miles, upon start, vehicle engine began making a clicking sound. No engine light had appeared in vehicle. Vehicle continued making clicking sound and began to stall when driven over 40mph. Before vehicle could even be seen for an appointment with repair shop, vehicle completely died while driving on highway. Was able to coast to side of the road and wait for assistance to repair shop. Upon review, engine completely seized and died. No indication of engine issues noted through dash lights. Seems consistant with other hyundai issues concerning engine failure.
When starting the car you hear a loud clattering noise. And it doesn't go away. I was told I needed a oil change, oil change was performed. The noise was still happening took it back to the dealer then was told I needed a timing tension belt. Wasted my money because the issue still wasn't fixed. And now when I start my car it a louder noise coming from my engine and whiling driving my car stalls really back and while driving I can still hear the noise.
Extreme fire hazard warning - hyundai - insufficient wiring insulation. 2009 azera stalled and died going 45 MPH during light rain 12/9/19. Tow truck driver tested battery and found low alternator output. Replaced alternator and valve cover gasket where oil was leaking onto alternator. Once repaired, continued to get p0108 error code and stalling after 20 min of run. Removed paint and added electrical gel to all main ground wire to body/frame points (all were painted, unsure how it was grounded in first place). Problem persisted with new codes now p2106, p1295, p0122, p0222, p0123, p0108, p2173, p161b. Limped car to local shop and called hyundai, who assigned case #16592407. Shop said map sensor was bad, replaced with new sensor. Problem persisted with p0108 code in driveway idling. Did vacuum check on tubing but found bare wires on wiring run that holds oil pressure, map sensor, engine temp sensor and others on 1/1/20. Under fabric wrap around wire bundles, all wiring insulation has dissentigrated causing short circuits and bad map sensor voltage. All wiring is bad that runs across engine top has bad insulation almost to alternator. Extreme fire hazard. Attempting to contact dealer. Insulation on wires cannot handle engine temps and disintegrates leaving bare wires. 2009 hyundai azera with 3.3 l v6, 123,000 miles.
