2007 Hyundai Grandeur: driver’s side power seat switch may malfunction
In January 2017, a recall was issued for Hyundai Grandeur vehicles that were available in Australia from 7 March 2007 to 14 August 2007. In these vehicles, the driver’s side power seat switch may not operate properly when driving. As such, the intermittent operation of the seat when driving could distract the driver and cause difficulty in controlling the vehicle (PRA 2017/15842).
Hyundai TG Grandeur: ABS circuit board could short circuit

Hyundai TG Grandeur: automatic transmission
- The Hyundai TG Grandeur’s automatic transmission may not work in reverse gear due to maladjustment of the shift linkage (or transmission cable) between the gearshift selector and the transmission.
- Transmission fluid may leak from: 1) the front pump seal at the torque converter, requiring replacement of the pump seal; or, 2) the reduction brake piston cover, requiring replacement of two O-rings.
Hyundai TG Grandeur: other problems and faults
- If the ‘check engine’ light illuminates and the engine delivers reduced performance, the accelerator pedal sensor may be faulty.
- The ‘low tyre pressure’ warning light may illuminate due to electromagnetic interference from electronic transmitters, but will usually go out when moving out of range. However, some electronic devices may also activate the warning light if they are plugged into the accessory power outlet.
- A ‘snap’ noise when shifting from reverse to drive may require an isolation washer on the front hub.
- Oil may leak from the transaxle at the oil seals, yet appear to be a seam leak.
- On vehicles with climate control air conditioning, the displayed temperature may be up to 5 degrees out from the actual outside temperature if the temperature sensor is faulty.
