2014 Hyundai Sonata window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY/WIPER

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER ON THIS VEHICLE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. THE WATER TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT FLOW FROM THE WATER PUMP, WHICH IS FUNCTIONING. I BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING ON MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST MINE. I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE WATER PUMP ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER IS NOT FAILING. WHAT IS FAILING IS THE LINE THAT DIRECTS THE WATER FROM THE WATER WELL TO THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT/WATER PUMP. BUT THE WATER PUMP IS NOT BROKEN. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWING THE WRONG TEMPERATURE DURING THE SEASONS. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY BRANDT HYUNDAI (1700 WESTBANK EXPY, HARVEY, LA 70058, (504) 684-8039), BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE CONTINUED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE DEFROSTER WOULD BLOW OUT COLD AIR IN THE WINTER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS FOG BADLY IN COLD WEATHER. DEFROSTER HAS TO BE RUN ON HIGH CONSTANTLY BUT STILL CLEARS ONLY ABOUT 1/4 OF WINDOWS. THE FIRST 10 OR 15 MINUTES IT HAS NO EFFECT. I HAVE TO SCRAPE ICE OFF INSIDE OF WINDOWS(1 OCCUPANT SO NOT THAT MUCH BREATHING GOING ON)YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO LOWER YOUR WINDOWS IN ORDER TO SEE CROSS STREETS IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. DEALER BLED THE SYSTEM- HELPED A SMALL AMOUNT. DEALER CLAIMS EVERYTHING WORKS FINE! VERY UNSAFE. 2 WINTERS OF THIS SO FAR.

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE, A/C ON LOW INSIDE THE CAR (NO A/C VENTS IN THE REAR OF VEHICLE), I HEAR A LOUD POP. I THOUGHT A TIRE BLEW. I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED YET STILL IN PLACE AS IT'S SAFETY GLASS. WITH EACH BUMP IN THE ROAD THE GLASS BEGAN TO FALL INTO THE CAR. MY CAR HAS 5340 MILES ON IT. I HAD NO CHIPS IN THE GLASS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE SITUATION HAD I HAD A REAR FACING BABY SEAT IN THE CAR WITH AN INFANT. OR REAR PASSENGERS OR BEEN SO STARTLED BY THE SITUATION IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED, FORTUNATELY.
