Hyundai Sonata Service Brakes, Electric Safety Report | Feb 17, 2010
Reported on Feb 17, 2010
| PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SNOW ON THE ROAD. STARTED TO MOVE OUT TO THE ROAD AGAIN WHEN I NOTICED A LOUD GRINDING COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES. MADE IT HOME AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP WHERE I BOUGHT IT, HEALY HYUNDAI IN BEACON NY. REAR BRAKES DOWN TO METAL AND ROTORS GOING. THEY RESURFACED ROTORS AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. NO OTHER EXPLANATION. I DID NOT APPRECIATE THIS BECAUSE EVEN NOT HAVING NOT MUCH OF A MECHANICAL BACKGROUND, I NEVER HAD TROUBLE LIKE THIS WITH BRAKES THIS EARLY ON AND I HAVE DRIVEN MANY A CAR AND MANY MILES. THE CAR HAS 36,014 MILES AND HEAELY SAID THE FRONT BRAKES HAVE AT LEAST A YEAR TO GO. SOMEONE AT HYUNDIA NEEDS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS BEFORE THIS BECOMES ALOT WORSE. PLEASE I HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS. ALSO THE DEALERS NEED TO BE HONEST WITH PEOPLE AND NOT BLAME AN PERCEIVED DEFECT IN MY OPINION WITH THE BRAKES ON THE DRIVER. I HAVE CHILDREN AND DON'T WANT THE BRAKES TO FAIL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR | |
