2007 Hyundai Azera Visibility & Wipers Problems

REAR SUNSHADE STUCK MID-WAY THROUGH CYCLE. POSITION OF THICK RETAINING PLASTIC SEVERELY OBSTRUCTS DRIVER'S VIEW. BUTTON UNRESPONSIVE, BUT CAN HEAR MOTOR GRINDING WHENEVER PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE (REAR SUNSHADE DOES NOT MOVE AND STUCK IN THIS POSITION). FURTHERMORE, ONCE PARKED AND OFF THE ROAD, NO AMOUNT OF MANUAL FORCE RETRACTS THE SUNSHADE INTO ITS RETRACTED POSITION. DRIVER MUST CONTINUE DRIVING IN THIS PRECARIOUS AND LIMITED-VIEW SCENARIO. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY,THE GLASS OF MY SUNROOF 'EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY". THE TIME OF INCIDENT WAS 6:15 AM, THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 45 DEGREES AND NO ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS TRAVELING UNDER NO OVERPASSES, AND NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I NOTICE NO OBJECT STRIKING MY CAR, MY PASSENGER AND I HEARD A NOISE LIKE A GUN SHOT. I HAD THE SUN SHADE CLOSED,SO NO GLASS ENTERED INTERIOR OF CAR, ABOUT 80% OF THE SUNROOF BLEW OUT LEAVING GLASS AROUND RIM INTACT AND THE BLOWN GLASS CAUSING DAMAGE TO TOP AND TRUNK. OTHER DRIVER BEHIND ME WERE BLOWING THEIR HORN TO TELL ME IT HAPPEN PLUS I COULD HEAR WIND, I STOP AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE THE REMAINING GLASS HAD A UPWARD BLOWN OUT APPEARANCE WITH NO GLASS LEFT ON SUN SHADE. I KNOW THIS IS TEMPERED GLASS WHICH BREAKS INTO TINY PIECES. IT WAS GOOD I HAD THE SUN ROOFS CLOSED OR I MIGHT HAVE HAD FLYING GLASS IN EYES CAUSING A ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IF A ROCK HAD HIT IT THE GLASS WOULD HAD FELL INWARD NOT OUT. *TR

2007 HYUNDAI AZERA REAR SUN SHADE MALFUNCTION. SUNSHADE GETS STUCK WHILE EXPANDING / RETRACTING, POSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION BY RESTRICTING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY THROUGH THE REAR WINDOW WHILE BACKING THE CAR UP. *TR

MY 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA HAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS CONCERN WAS NOTICED AROUND THE 65,000 MILE RANGE. THE CRACK APPEARS TO FOLLOW THE LINE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE CAR IS TYPICALLY PARKED IN A GARAGE, NOT SUBJECTED TO ELEMENTS, AND HAS NOT ENDURED ANY UNUSUAL STRESS TO CAUSE THE CRACK. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR SUNSHADE THAT COMES STANDARD WITH MY CAR'S MODEL SEEMS TO HAVE A FAULTY MOTOR AND NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY GOES DOWN WHEN IN REVERSE, AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO, I TRUST FOR SAFE VISIBILITY. THE SUNSHADE FEATURE BEGAN TO FAIL AROUND THE 70,000 MILE RANGE AND WOULD AT TIMES STOP AT THE PARTWAY UP/DOWN RANGE, CREATING POOR VISIBILITY DUE TO THE FRAME SHOWING WHERE IT SHOULD NOT SHOW IN THE REAR WINDOW. I HAVE A NUMBER OF EMAILS FROM HYUNDAI WHERE THEY STATE THAT THESE ITEMS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS MY SAFETY CONCERNS. IN PARTICULAR, THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY WITHOUT CAUSE OR MIGHT DEPLOY MORE FORCEFULLY THAN INTENDED DUE TO THE CRACK. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS AT NO EXPENSE TO ME, HAS NOT ADDRESSED MY SAFETY CONCERNS, AND IN TAKING THIS POSITION, IS FAILING TO STAND BY THE WORKMANSHIP/QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY, WHICH CAUSES VISION FAILURE. SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE DESIGN. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED HER TO THE DEALER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS ROLLED UP, THE EXTERIOR SIDE MIRROR REFLECTS THE AIR CONDITIONING VENT. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO SEE THE TRAFFIC IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THAT WAS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
