Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have the electronic control HVAC system in my sante fe. The air conditioning will work normal for a time period. Then when it is turned on from the off position by using the auto mode it will sound like the air is blowing but only a slight amount of air will come out. If it is left on and in the high fan mode a dripping sound can be heard. The system will not reset itself until the vehicle has been turned off for a good length of time (sometimes hours). This is the second time I have experienced this same problem. …”
