Hyundai Sonata Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Mar 27, 2010
Reported on Mar 27, 2010
| RECENTLY BROUGHT MY 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA IN FOR A FREE INSPECTION BY MY DEALER. MY BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND MY REAR BRAKES WERE FOUND TO BE 70% WORN AND THE PADS, ETC... WERE FROZEN RESULTING IN PREMATURE WEAR!!! MY FRONT BRAKES ARE ONLY 50% WORN. MY SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS IS TYPICAL FOR HYUNDAI SONATAS OF THIS YEAR BUT NO FINANCIAL REMEDY CAME FROM MY DEALER. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE MY BRAKES UNFROZEN AND WAS TOLD THAT WITHIN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS I WILL NEED TO HAVE NEW REAR BRAKES PUT ON. OF NOTE, MY CAR ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES AND MY REAR BRAKES SHOULD NOT HAVE WORN OUT THIS SOON AND CERTAINLY NOT BEFORE MY FRONT BRAKES. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL HERE AND ISSUE SOME TYPE OF RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE - I HAVE A CHILD THAT RIDES IN THIS CAR CONSTANTLY. | |
