The heater fan in the car would only work on high speed. It was a continual occurance, therefore it was difficult to conatrol the interior heat and defroster. It was repaired by replacing the speed control switch. The mechanic showed me what had failed on the switch were two receptacles where the metal was should have been solid but had gotten so hot that it had melted and there was no longer a connection. I felt compelled to report this as it concerned me that it may cause a fire.
1) driving on a hilly, twisty road. While approaching a downhill turn in the road, the check engine light came on, the tach dropped to "0" and the car shut off. Since the engine was no longer running, I lost my power steering and power brakes suddenly. I lost control of the car and went off the road, crashing into a guardrail. 2) damaged parts: front bumper, headlight assembly, corner light assembly, rf fender, hood, upper radiator core support. Possibly inner fender also? air bags did not go off, and I was not injured. I was able to restart the car, and the check engine light went out after about 10-15 seconds. I have been able to operate the car normally ever since. I contacted Hyundai and am waiting for resolution and repairs. 3) nothing has been done yet.
