Defogger Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

Vehicle was being driven in the rain from savannah GA to jacksonville FL, outside temperature apx 80 degrees, with air conditioning on. Air conditioning abruptly ceased blowing cold air and started blowing hot, humid air, which fogged all windows from the inside. Suddenly lowered visibility causes driving hazard. This has occurred several times before with this vehicle when (1) it is hot outside, (2) the air conditioning is on, (3) it is raining, (4) the car has been driving for apx 30 to 45 minutes. Remedy is to pull off the road, turn off the engine, wait 5-10 minutes, then restart car. Air works normally for another 30-45 minutes then same problem re-occurs, but pulling to the side of an interstate also causes a safety problem. . Read more...

2007 Hyundai sante-fe purchased new from plaza Hyundai, ltd, 2740 nostrand avenue in 2006, on October 3, 2007 while sitting in vehicle I noticed smoke coming from the dashboard and then the windshield cracked. I took the vehicle to plaza Hyundai, they insisted the damage was caused by a rock and said I should contact my insurance company which I did, their investigation found that the damage was caused by a "defective wiring in the defroster caused a fire which resulted in damage to windshield. " this report was given to the dealership and still they refuse to repair my vehicle. Due to serious health issues, I have not been able to pursue this issue and the vehicle has been in storage. I have resumed my attempts to get Hyundai to take responsibility for the damages and fix the faulty wiring, as of 2/22/10 they still refuse to even inspect the vehicle. The vehicle is defective and I was advised not to drive it again until the problem was solved. I paid over $30,000 for the vehicle and have been unable to use it.
