What owners report
Sudden unintended acceleration apparently caused by an electronic malfunction of throttle control. There were no warning signs. It is not known if vehicle was inspected by the insurance company.
ON 9.19.2019 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED EVERY TIME WITHOUT PROBLEMS, IT DID NOT STALL AGAIN ON THE RETURN TRIP. THE TRIP WAS ABOUT 50 MILES EACH WAY. OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAD ENGINE STARTING PROBLEMS 5 TIMES, MOSTLY ON HOT DAYS AND WHEN STOPPING FOR A SHORT PERIOD, E.G. STOPPING FOR GAS, AFTER WAITING FOR +- 10 MINUTES THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY. THE 'ENGINE CHECK' LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING REPAIR INFORMATION.

BUT FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONICS BECAUSE OF WATER LEAKING INTO THE SYSTEM ALSO AFFECTS THE OPERATION OF THE ABS WHERE IT CANNOT WORK WHEN NEEDED. THE RECALL ADDRESSES REWIRING THE ABS SO NO POWER IS PRESENT IN THE WATER LEAKING ABS MODULE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATING AND PARKED BUT DOES NOT ADDRESS FAILURE OF THE ABS WITHOUT FIRE FROM WATER LEAKAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. HYUNDAI SHOULD REPLACE ALL AZERA ABS SYSTEMS THAT ARE PRONE TO WATER LEAKAGE TO PRECLUDE THE ABS SYSTEMS NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN AND DURING BRAKING EMERGENCIES. UNA
