Description of the problem	2007 hyundai sante-fe purchased new from plaza hyundai, ltd, 2740 nostrand avenue in 2006, on october 3, 2007 while sitting in vehicle i noticed smoke coming from the dashboard and then the windshield cracked. I took the vehicle to plaza hyundai, they insisted the damage was caused by a rock and said i should contact my insurance company which i did, their investigation found that the damage was caused by a "defective wiring in the defroster caused a fire which resulted in damage to windshield." this report was given to the dealership and still they refuse to repair my vehicle. Due to serious health issues, i have not been able to pursue this issue and the vehicle has been in storage. I have resumed my attempts to get hyundai to take responsibility for the damages and fix the faulty wiring, as of 2/22/10 they still refuse to even inspect the vehicle. The vehicle is defective and i was advised not to drive it again until the problem was solved. I paid over $30,000 for the vehicle and have been unable to use it.
