Overview

2014 Hyundai Azera

The 2014 Hyundai Azera offers a comfortable and spacious cabin with respectable fuel economy for its class. Powered by a 3.3-liter V6 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, it delivers adequate performance for daily driving. However, used car shoppers should be aware of reported issues, particularly concerning the braking and steering systems, as well as potential electrical anomalies. Its overall reliability is assessed as below average, making a thorough pre-purchase inspection essential.

Critical Failure Risk

A recall addresses potential fluid leaks from the ABS module, which can cause electrical shorts and engine fires. While a fuse replacement is part of the recall, the underlying leak risk may persist if the module itself is not addressed.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,000-$4,000 repair.
