Warnings problem

Unknown. Ac stopped working. According to repair shop, alternator belt sliced through the aluminum housing tube and freon cannot be recharged . It needs total rebuild/reroute of ac tubing as the position and location of alternator belt is too close to the aluminum housing/tubing for cooling system. This is a bad build/design. When it’s really hot outside this is very dangerous for all passengers in this vehicle. Repairman/mechanic said he has seen this issue more and more on several Hyundai’s that came thru his shop, that he believes a common defect and has educated him as first thing to look for on a Hyundai needing ac repair. . And one can speculate there are many more, since he’s not a dealership.
