Consumer Description
I was driving and the blower control switch stopped working and I had smoke coming out of my dash. Later my husband took it apart and the back of the switch and the part that plugged into the switch was burned. Without a blower, I don't have any defrost, fan, or ac option which could be dangerous in the winter if things ice over. We called Hyundai and they are very well aware of this issue and they said that we could replace it and the same thing could happen in 2 months and they aren't doing anything about it. This part was replaced once by the dealer while my car was under warranty. The only indication that there was a problem is when it stopped working along with the smoke issue.
