The dealer repaired the vehicle per an unknown recall. The contact mentioned that there was a burn hole in the floor under the passenger seat. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they informed the contact that the front seat cover needed to be replaced and the vehicle needed to be taken to a Hyundai dealer.

The approximate failure mileage was 258,983.
The front driver seat moves forward on its own while I'm driving and presses me up against the steering wheel. It's a random occurrence and I can't detect any pattern. Sometimes it can be move back into position, but not always immediately. Apparently there was a recall on this for other 2007 Azera, but it doesn't apply to my VIN. Yet, it is happening on my car.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Azera. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, the driver's seat moved involuntarily. In addition, the gear shifter failed to move to the reverse position when prompted. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle in an attempt to correct the failures. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 16V630000 (seats) as a possible cause of the seat failure. The failure mileage was 136,840.
Both driver and passenger seats do not function properly. Driver seat twice has operated while driving without touching controls. Seat moves all the way forward pinning driver to the steering wheel. Passenger side recline does not work. We do not touch the controls on the passenger side as the recline function will not retract when attempted.

I received a Hyundai recall notice in December regarding the power-adjustable driver seat. No los angeles area Hyundai dealer has the required part and I'm told they are all on back order with no known delivery date. So I'm driving an unsafe car with no way to repair it.

The power seat-back starts to lean forward pushing the driver into the steering wheel. The driver must reach down and tilt the seat-back control the opposite way to overide motion. There is a short delay before the seat-back reacts. It is becoming more frequent and also happens when car is parked and unoccupied. Occasionally the seat-bottom will also move forward aspecially when parked. We are scheduling service with our dealership and will provide update after service.
About two weeks ago, the back portion of the front driver's side seat began moving forward automatically while I was driving the car. I also noticed that when the car is parked the seat would move forward as well. When the seat moves forward, I am put very close to the steering wheel, which makes it difficult to steer and interferes with my ability to brake quickly. Also, because I am so close to the steering wheel, I believe that if the air bags were to deploy I would be unnecessarily harmed. I brought the car to a dealership on December 17, 2014 because of a separate recall notice I was sent. The dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and added corrosive protection to the under carriage of my car. When I asked the service manager if he could run a diagnostic on my car while it was being repaired, he informed me that because the car was not under warranty, I would have to pay $130 dollars. The bts wire in the front passenger seat has already been repaired, at 24,144 miles, so I believe that there could be a connection between the fact that there was a faulty wire in the front passenger seat and the issues I am now having with the front driver's seat.
The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated that while driving 55-60 mph, the drivers seat independently thrust forward ad pushed the contact into the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the ims control module, seat tract, and the motor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,485.
Front power driver's seat moves by itself randomly while driving. The seat leaned forward about 45 degrees itself while driving without touching the seat switch or any bumps on the road. The sudden movement of the seat, without any kind of warning, caused collapsing driver's upper body to the steering wheel and pushing driver's head downward. It is very dangerous to drive the car in that position. Driving speed was not related to the problem. I took the vehicle to the dealer service center in el paso, Texas. At first, the service advisor did not believe my complaint, but the seat moved itself in front of him, even while the car was stopped and no one was seating on it. The service advisor rulled out if that was seat switch problem and recommended to replace the seat track which would cost more than $2,000.
All kinds of electrical problems least of which is the cigarette lighter quit working. The powered passenger seat can not be moved any direction. Air bag light came on after hitting a fairly small pothole. Air bag light goes on for a few days/weeks then goes off.passenger seatbelt indicator light comes on sometimes while passenger is wearing seatbelt sometimes the same light randomly comes on then goes off with no passenger and no weight in the seat. I have personally paid for a new battery and two starters which more than likely didn't need replaced because my car still won't start at random times. I first experienced it not starting around 79,000 miles I could tell it wasn't the battery cause I tried jump starting it and all the while the door chime lights and radio all worked fine. So I replaced the starter only to have it not start the very next day. Anyway a wire was replaced to the starter and all was fine for about 10,000 miles and the same non starting issues occurred again and again. Seems like I just keep trying to start it and maybe the 8th or 25th time it starts.. running out of words and they would only let me pick 3 parts to write about also have issues with brakes cracks around passenger air bag on dash etc.
Driving on freeway, driver seat leaned forward as far as possible. If the seat had been positioned forward further, driver would have been pushed against the steering wheel! happened rarely at first, then began to do it constantly. When seatback is pushing forward the buttons are useless. By constantly holding the button to tilt the seat backwards, eventually it would go back. Eventually I disconnected the fuse for the electric seat so the car was usable (but you could not adjust the seat). This problem appears to have happened on a decent number of these cars. Searching on the internet found multiple people with the same problem. Cost to fix is outrageous (basically new seat/system).
While driving car on a flat surface at 40 mph the automatic seats moved all the way back. I quickly moved them forward and continued to drive when they moved again. I had to pull over. I was not able to drive with the seat back so far. The seats continued to move in back position while in park or drive. An appointment with the dealership was made the following day.
