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.
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.
Takata recall the vehicle is always stationary when I am unable to put it in drive from the park position. I am unable to put my driver's side window up, the interior lights went out, my tail/brake/turn signal all went out the same day. All fuses have been checked, they are fine. The car was sitting in my driveway overnight and the next morning I went to turn the wipers on to clean the window of bird poop and they wouldn't work followed by the clock saying 1:01 and it was around 8:30am. Then I noticed everything else, the rear lights were called out to me by another driver on the main road by my house

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.
