2006 Hyundai Tiburon air went out??

Question

I have a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon, nothing has ever been wrong with it. I was driving and stopped at a stop sign and for a split second I smelt a burnt plastic smell, then it went away and my air went to vent, the air still isn't working. Does anyone know what it might be?

Answer 1

That happens alot on Hyundais...you are lucky the whole car didn't burn up....it was your expansion valve or your o*****e tube or the compressor itself....your warranty will not cover it....It happened to 2 of my friends....be ready to pony up about $2500 if it didn't burn up the housing thenit will be more.

Answer 2

Might be the a/c compressor or a relay as they both get hot and have plastic components that would have a bad odor when melted.

If you are under 60,000 miles, I would suggest taking it in to your Hyundai dealer as it should be covered under the 5 year/ 60K warranty (even if you are not the original owner).
