Consumer Description
INTERIOR LIGHTS, PHONE, RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS TURN ON BY THEM SELVES WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR BACK ROADS.EVEN IF I DON?T HAVE ANY ELECTRONICS WITH ME. THE MOBILE PHONE WORKED TWO TIMES IN 2 YRS. THEN IT HAS NOT WORKED AGAIN, THE LIGHTS MIGHT LIGHT BUT NO CONNECTION OCCURS.ALSO- THE AIR CONDITIONER SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH OR 40 MPH OR CRUISING ON A BACK ROAD. I WAS IN GEORGIA WITH MY TWO PREMATURE TWINS THE TEMPERATURE WAS 101 AND NO AIR! I HAD TO STOP EVERY FEW MINUTES, TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN. I MAY ONLY GET 10 MILES AND I WOULD HAVE TO STOP AGAIN. I HAD TO MAKE UNEXPECTED HOTEL RESERVATIONS AND LEFT THE CAR AT A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR 2 DAYS TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIX IT. THEY WERE NOT ABLE THEY COULDN?T FIND THE PROBLEM. WE STARTED BACK HOME A 500 MILE TRIP IN 101 DEGREE. WITH 2 PREMATURE BABIES NO LESS THAN 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD.... IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN! THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER OF MY 2003 SANTA FE. I ASSUMED IT MUST HAVE BEEN A FLUKE...OBVIOUSLY NOT! BECAUSE SADLY HERE I AM AGAIN! CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME OF THE STEPS I SHOULD TAKE NEXT? THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! I WILL LIST THE FIRST DATE IT OCCURRED. IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. *TR
