Hyundai Sonata Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Dec 28, 2009
Reported on Dec 28, 2009
| PREMATURE WEAR OF REAR BRAKE PADS ON A 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA. REAR BRAKE PADS WERE COMPLETELY GONE AT 35000 MILES. MY WIFE HAD BRAKE FAILURE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. REMOVED WHEELS AT HOME AND FOUND CALIPERS WERE DIGGING INTO ROTORS BECAUSE OF COMPLETE EROSION OF BRAKE PADS. CALLED DEALER HE SAID IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. NOT SURE WHY, HYUNDAI OFFERS NO EXPLANATION OR SUGGESTIONS EITHER. REPLACED PADS WITH NEW ONES, WILL WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I WILL INSPECT EVERY 10000 MILES TO DETERMINE EXTENT OF FUTURE WEAR ON THE BRAKE PADS. FRONT PADS WERE AT 8/32 REAR PADS WERE 0/32.. PISTONS WERE CLEAN ON THE REAR AND APPEARED TO BE WORKING FINE, BOTH REAR PADS WERE GONE EQUALLY. *TR | |
