I recently purchased a 2009 Azera limited with 35000 miles on it. Sometimes but not always the starter turns over several times before the engine catches. Note: I do not touch the gas pedal when trying to start it. Most vehicles I have owned will start immediately.

So does the starter engage? Does the engine turn over but it just doesn't start? Please elaborate...

1st you must have the system scanned for fault codes.

When is 100000 car needs tune up.Could be bad spark pugs,bad coils,bad wires.Use good ones.

Possible transmission gear noise, but would need to hear it to confirm.

check the fuse .

Hello, There is not a recall for this issue,but there is a TSB (technical safety bulletin) by Hyundai for this issue that you are having with your vehicle for the code that was set. What this consists of is replacement of the throttle position sensor and performing an ECU software upgrade for the vehicles computer. The process usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour to perform at a Hyundai service department. If you are the original owner of the vehicle or it has less than 60,000 miles, this repair procedure is no cost to the owner. Hope this info helps. Gabe

the safety switch under the clutch pedal is sticking.

There have been a lot of complaints lately of newer Hyundais having a "soft" clear coat. Hyundai has not recalled any of these vehicles yet, but I would strongly recommend taking it to the dealer and try to get it fixed under warranty. You have a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty specifically for the paint, unfortunately though, it is up to the dealer's discretion as to whether or not it is a "significant" problem. Never hurts to try though.
