Need advice on AC evaporator gone bad on a 3 year old car. Have a hyundai creta I bought in Dec 2016, started with the AC giving off a stink smell for a bit and now the unit failing to blow cold air. The fan is working, but 4 AC specialists say is evaporator gone.
Anyone know if this could be covered by warranty, now pass 3 years with car but I think AC evaporator suppose to be a lifetime part, so should be manufacturers defect.
All advise is appreciated. Have an appointment with Massy coming up, but know they would buss meh throat with price. Estimates to fix is already $5000 up.
Thanks

Once I found out its not covered under warranty I did not follow up with any cost estimate as I knew it was not going to be cheaper than outside.
This was also my 2nd A/C related issue as I also had a thermostop replaced under warranty when the vehicle was 2 years old.
But yea the reason for buying new is to avoid unnecessary hassle however my list of defects with this Hyundai is pretty long. In this particular sub forum for example I have been active in the power window thread as all 4 doors had to have their power windows repaired.
