“There is heavy black carbon buildup on the tailpipes and rear of my Azera. The Hyundai dealer said it is normal due to the type of catalytic converter they use. My lexus mechanic (our other car) said it probably a problem with the fuel to air ratio the car is using.”
NHTSA complaint #10567715, filed 2014-03, 3,000 miles“Exhaust fumes and soot accumulate on rear bumper marring paint and may cause other problems I.e. Monoxide. Have attempted to get it fixed at three dealers but they claim it's nothing and simply wash soot off.”
NHTSA complaint #10595333, filed 2014-05, 3,000 miles“I purchased a new 2013 Hyundai Azera. My wife and I was given a class on our new vehicle. The day of our purchase my wife and I noticed the back bumper was every dirty, we thought. The back bumper was covered with black carbon that came from the exhaust that also had carbon as well inside and around the outside tips. I contacted the dealership where we purchase the car. They ask what grade gas did we put in the car? I explain that we would not put fuel in the car and that they filled the car with fuel. And explained that we had just left the dealership a few hours ago. …”
