Azera Limited 2009 - First axles (2 years ago) now Control Arms gone bad @ 62,600 miles!
The Petaluma Hyundai service group meet an owner's expectations. However the surprise report that my 2009 Azera @ 62,600 miles needs new upper and lower control arms on both left and right wheels which they said is not covered by warranty was a disappointing report. Quoted at $2,200.00 (roughly halve the trade-in value stunned me. Just two years ago both front axles were replaced under warranty. Note I drive mostly around town or on the freeway and as a senior citizen I am a reasonable driver. Apparently Korean steel has been recycled too many times or the process is faulty. My last car, a Lexus LS400, at 100,000 needed struts but that is reasonable. Japanese steel must be of a better grade. Cannot see myself owning another Hyundai after this experience. Now, do I pay half the trade-in value for repairs and pray no other expensive components go bad?
