Unclassified problem on the 2007 Hyundai Azera
Only 16 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When unclassified problem gets reported
Owners of the 2007 Hyundai Azera report unclassified problem at a median of 55,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 25,000 miles and a quarter after 80,000 miles, from 16 reports that carried an odometer reading.
It is the 33rd most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 20,000 miles at the tenth percentile to 80,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 63,000 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
A spread this wide points at use rather than design. Towing, climate, service history and city mileage all move a failure like this, so the median is a weak guide to any individual car.
38% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19,000 miles | 25,575 miles | 52,500 miles | 79,250 miles | 82,000 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 5 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2008, at a median of 40,000 miles, and latest on the 2012 at 60,000 miles.
By volume the 2006 carries the most reports, with 21; the 2007 has 21. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hyundai azera. The passenger front air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument control panel. The vehicle was taken to the hyundai dealer three times. The air bag module and harness under the front seat was repaired. The repairs did not remedy the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.
I noticed two cracks on top of the dashboard on the passenger side. I was told it was a defect in installation of the airbag. It was repaired by the dealer with no expense to me. *tr
The dash board has a cut out for the passenger side air bag on top and is somewhat perforated and thinner in that area. Due to a design defect, the dash cracks over that area. These have been replaced for some and not others. It appears that it is up to the local people. I brought my questions about this design to the dealer before the warranty expired, it then cracked and now they will not do anything to replace it. I hear the replaced ones crack too. I have heard that they can interfer with the air bag. *tt

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 21 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 21 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does unclassified problem happen on the 2007 Hyundai Azera?
Across 16 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 55,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 25,000 miles and a quarter after 80,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is unclassified problem on the 2007 Hyundai Azera?
21 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.6 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
