Tl* 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 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.
