Some type of refrigerant leak causes a failure of the front electric motor which causes the car to lose drive power (stall). I can't tell from the online forums how prevalent (or rare) this problem is, but it is clear that I am not the only Audi Q4 owner who has experienced the same sequence of events.Read more

The reason for the submission is regarding the unresolved safety recall, NHTSA Recall Number22V-406.

The turn signal self-cancelling feature does not function properly. Specifically, the left hand turn signal does not disengage. This has become a safety risk as I am unaware that it does not disengage on some occasions. The vehicle has not been inspected by a dealer/manufacturer.
Incident date: Dec 14, 2023
On Monday, December 11, 2023 Myself, my girlfriend, and our two dogs were headed across the I-182 bridge coming out of Pasco, WA to Richland, WA. We were in the far left or center lane (I am not sure which). The highway is three lanes each way. We were at highway speed (the speed limit is 70 mph)
... . About ¾ of the way across the bridge, the vehicle felt like all 4 wheels locked. The vehicle then skidded, turned 90 degree towards the concrete bridge barrier. We struck the bridge barrier nearly head on. The vehicle then rotated off the barrier and landed upright in the far right lane. Airbags fully deployed. There were numerous witnesses who reported seeing what looked like the vehicle’s wheels lock and then the events as described. No other cars were impacted. About 20 minutes prior to the crash I commented that the vehicle alignment was off. I had to keep the wheel at 10:00 or 11:00 for the vehicle to travel straight. I found that odd as the vehicle alignment was fine prior to that. Everyone walked away from the accident although both us were injured.Read more

Power loss, dash went black and loss of drive power. This failure has occurred twice and I more fully documented each failure to BMW. When was the last time this occurred? August 28th 2. GPS error, vehicle speed limit showed 25 under all conditions while actual speed showed correctly. When was
... the last time this occurred? Early August 3. Side collision system failures. Either fails entirely and indicates no vehicles on either side or will randomly indicate the presence of vehicles when they are not there. Other times it will function correctly. This has happened multiple times now. When was the last time this occurred? October 7th 4. Driver assistance errors pop as a multiple page error on the infotainment for no apparent reason a. On 217 an error message was displayed on the screen and heads up display saying Driver Assistance Limited. The message was longer but that’s all I could read driving in traffic. Conditions could not be more ideal and literally just left service with a freshly washed vehicle so not sure what the failure could be. I think this message is meant to occur if the cameras aren’t working or are obstructed by dirt, extreme weather etc. This message will display if the system has anything that prevents parameters from being met, this is something that will come up from time to time. 5. Assisted driving turned itself on and set a speed of 37 MPH When was the last time this occurred? August 5th 6. Automatic window stopped working despite the activation point still showing setup and active. Checked settings and tried it a few times and it just stopped working but settings look correct. It had previously been working. When was the last time this occurred? In the last week. 7. BMW assistant failures on about 3 of 4 commands. Only the mic button will activate the assistant as the voice activation stopped working. Making calls, navigation, turning off steering wheel heat, turning on massage seat all failed 1-3Read more

Collapsed AFM lifter in bank number 7. The truck had 77,857 during the incident. The truck was not drivable and the repair costs were $3,093.27 on 1/24/23. This is a known and common issue with this particular engine.
Incident date: Apr 15, 2022
The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle made abnormal noises. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a lifter noise on cold startup. The vehicle was then taken to Dick's Hillsboro Hyundai (2871 SE Tualatin Valle

The engine started knocking while I was driving. The car experienced sluggish performance afterwards, and hesitancy in acceleration. Hyundai has recalled other vehicles for engine knocking, but not the Azera.
Incident date: Jun 1, 2021
The engine failed in this vehicle as I was driving down the road. It immediately started knocking violently without warning. I was left stranded with my 4 children and had to pay for towing. The problem still persists upon starting. The vehicle had been inspected numerous times prior to incident due
... to a ticking noise upon cranking and I was informed by dealer that this is normal. Upon incident there was no warning lights or inclination that this was going to happen. I have since been told by multiple mechanics that the crank rod is faulty in this 3.3L Hyundai engine and that in order to replace it you must buy a refurbished engine with an aftermarket part due to the faulty manufacturer part.Read more
Incident date: Apr 1, 2021
The steering on this vehicle started to have some play in it, including some intense vibrating as I drove down the road. My analysis is that the coupler within the steering motor is made of a flimsy material that breaks down relatively easily. This issue has obviously become clear to Hyundai, as the
... y have created an updated version of the coupler. However, the issue is serious enough that there are many people who have shared about it on forums/YouTube/etc., and is a legitimate danger to drivers, as complete failure of the part could result in failed steering while driving.Read more
Incident date: May 1, 2021
The steering malfunctioned. When we tried to turn the wheel the it would slip and the car would not respond or suddenly would. It was very scary because the car could not be steered properly. We took it to the dealer who said the Steering Coupler had failed and needed to be replaced. This co
... mponent has been recalled and/or warranty extended to cover in other Hyundai models for the same reason but it has not yet been recalled in the Azera. We discussed this with Hyundai Customer Service who confirmed. It was repaired by Hyundai of South Brunswick NJ for $452.34. There is a Technical Service Bulletin describing the problem. This is a common, dangerous Azera failure and should be remedied as it has been for other models.Read more
