The blower for the AC and heater stopped working. It evidently caught fire because there is a burnt smell. When I searched the problem, I noticed that you already did a recall for this but left out the 2013 models. This is extremely dangerous as it could catch fire while driving. Please add the 2013s to the recall.

No lamp messages, however the front and rear windshield wipers will not stop when put in the off position. Windshield sprayers will not activate. I've had to pull the fuses to the wipers, though now the wipers work when turned on, but will not seat themselves nor does the sprayer mechanism work still. In neither situation of fuses in or not, I have no intermittent on options for either front or back windshield wipers. When driving, if I get spashed with snow/slush, I lose all visibility; and can only blindly pull over use a spray bottle and hand towel to clean my windows. I have been finding that this is a problem with not just my vehicle, but that it is a repeat problem for multiple people with the same car make and model. I hope nobody is ran over because a driver can't see due to faulty windshield wiper controls.

My wife has a 2013 hyundai veloster turbo and the HVAC system has stopped functioning. After investigating the matter I discovered a manufacturer defect with the vehicle. The power wire leading to the climate control module overheated and melted the plastic connector and destroyed the climate control module. This could have started a fire. I contacted hyundai consumer affairs and hyundai customer care immediately to notify them of the issue and so that they would cover the repair costs fully. I also informed them of two other issues, one, the steering wheel controls are malfunctioning and two, one of the LED lights in the passenger tail light is out. I received a case number from them, #15272744. I made an appointment at lancaster hyundai located on main street in east petersburg pa and dropped the car off. I also informed them of all the issues and my findings (this was yesterday 1/18/19). This morning (1/19/19) I received a call back from service advisor david corey who left me a voicemail stating that hyundai has declined to cover the repairs and telling me to come pick up the car. Since then I have contacted hyundai consumer affairs and hyundai customer care to no avail. This issue with the climate control module is well documented online and there has even been a recall for it issued by hyundai but for some reason my wife's vehicle is not included in the recall. I have uploaded photos of the damaged connector and wiring harness as well as a photo from another hyundai veloster owner which shows the recall for the climate control module. I am thankful to god that the vehicle did not catch fire since my wife and two year old son travel in it every day. I just want hyundai to do the right thing and cover the costs to repair this factory defect.
