The AC/heating electric [fan] control comes on when it wants to but will not activate when turned on. When taken to a mechanic on 3 occasions, it activates and remains on for days then stops and will not come on again. Mechanics do not want to work on it unless it does not work at all. Everyone wants to "investigate" and charge me accordingly but no one wants to tell me the actual problem. This had been going on for many months on my car, as well as other hyundai models. The unresolved situation remains dangerous because of window fogging and lack of air flow through the vent system in the front and rear. Last winter a partially fogged window, while the fan was running, contributed to an accident during a very heavy rain storm.

Drove car 3 miles from point a to point b. It was parked at point b for approx 45 minutes. Then driven 300ft to point c. When I got out of the car, I smelled something unusual but I thought it was the auto shop next door. When I went into the store, an employee looked through the glass window and shouted "someone's car is on fire." I looked and saw it was my vehicle. There was smoke coming out of the hood. The car no longer starts. I will write again to update on diagnosis from hyundai.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 hyundai sonata. The wires under the hood were melting in the climate control assembly. This is the second time that the climate control assembly has been replaced. As a result, the insulation is melting from the wires and causing them to become bare. The current mileage was 136,000 and failure mileage was 98,000.
