| In rainy humid conditions, the air conditioning compressor will shut down causing warm air to blow inside the car cabin. this immediately causes the windows to fog up causing a very dangerous driving condition. this has now happened 5 times since owning the car. if you turn the car off, let it rest for a few minutes, then turn back on the air compressor will work again but only for the short time. we have taken the car to the dealership and they cannot duplicate the problem. again it only happens when it's humid and raining outside. after numerous searches on the internet, it seems that i am not the only person this is happening to. hyundai has a serious problem and they should do a recall to fix this! | |||
