| Description of the problem | Hello: beginning in the summer of 2017, while driving my 2013 hyundai sonata will occassionally smell like burning wires, but the cause of the smell could never be determined. It seems to be strongest on really hot days when the ac is running. I recently saw an article that many people with the same vehicle have experienced the same issue and some cars have caught on fire as a result of the issues and i realized that there is definitely something causing this and i needed to report. |
