2013 HYUNDAI AZERA — Complaint #2051886
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE filed December 30, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2051886 (ODI reference 11633192) concerns a 2013 HYUNDAI AZERA and was filed on December 30, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 15, 2024. The report was geocoded to Georgia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: yes, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI AZERA cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip:control unit/module failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 HYUNDAI AZERA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The Car started to emit Smoke while Driving on highway. All the feature indicate that the issue is purely related to the recall but the Hyndai took in the vehicle and gave me a decision that the engine failure is not related to recall. Said that the recall has been completed.
