Air Conditioner Problems of Hyundai Veloster

The a/c knob, when air conditioning is turned on, lights up. This light burns up the inside of the knob and causes the connections to burn out which makes it impossible to change the air speed settings. Currently mine must sit at 3 or it doesnt work at all. I also have an issue with the head unit which blacked out and stopped working out of nowhere.

Recall information: for the past 2 months, I have spoken to my Hyundai dealership regarding my air- conditioning. I know it is not an air-conditioning problem, but that of a regulator or thermister going bad. While driving,the air conditioning will be functioning fine with very cold air. Then at a random or at intermittent times will start to blow extremely hot "oven like" air. I then turn the air-conditioner off. It will then at a later time blow cold air again. I am scared the car will seriously overheat as the air is so intently hot. I am very good friends with a mechanic that within the past year retired from Hyundai for most of his career of 30 yrs. And that what he advised me to inquire about these parts. My sister within the past year has bought a 2017 tuscon/ she just had the same exact situation I do with her air-conditioning and they had a recall on her thermister recently. The thernister was changed and problem solved. I have reported this to my dealership several times. The response when I take my car in is that no code comes up so we can't fix or change anything. They stick a thermometer in the air vents and say all is blowing the correct temperature. So, now it's over 95 degrees with a heat index over 100 degrees in new orleans and my air-conditioning will blow intermittently oven hot air. Even if it is blowing the hot air, how can I possibly drive to the dealership every time it does this and then ceases. It is impossible to predict. So I need to find out what is the course of events to get this situation solved as my dealership is unwillingly to pursue any type of resolution to my situation. I can say, I will never be buying a Hyundai product again. . . As below the dates happen randomly. . . No specific date. . . Mileage is rounded of to approximate. . .

My sunroof exploded spontaneously while driving my vehicle down the interstate. Nothing hit my car or sunroof. It just exploded. I was told that because it was a hot day and that I was running my air conditioner, that glass can "swell and break on its own". The sunroof was closed at the time. It was terrifying, I thought I had been shot. I was covered in glass as was my car. It has since been replaced, but I drive in fear of it happening again.

1) steering wheel remote controls for radio & phone have been intermittent since original purchase; 2) air conditioning system does not completely restrict outside/engine warm air coming into cabin when not using a/c, for instance when windows down; 3) clock does not work consistently (it only recently just started working all by itself.

I was driving down the highway during the winter last year approx. January and had half the miles listed above. My interior heat control was on full blast and it cut out. I tried to adjust and it would turn on if the knob was perfectly aligned. . . . Slight electrical burning smell was present. Took into dealer and they replaced the interior blower switch, the connection had scortch marks on it so they replaced the wires and connectors along with the switch/control knob. 6 months later the problem was reoccurring except this time I was running air conditioning as the temp outside was 36 degrees celcuis outside. . . . This time much worse. It smelt like an electrical fire. ,,,I took the cover plate off that held the heater controls in place and the connections on it literally melted off into my hand. This is not an isolated incident, many other have the same issue with this car, and this is the second time for me. . Read more...
