Hyundai Sonata Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Sept 09, 2010
Reported on Sept 09, 2010
| I HAVE A 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA AND HAD TO REPLACE MY REAR BRAKES AT 24,000 MILES. MY DEALER SAID THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CALIPERS STICKING AND THIS CAUSED MY REAR BRAKES TO WEAR PREMATURELY. MY DEALER ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A HYUNDAI PROBLEM AND THEY SEE THIS A LOT WITH THESE CARS. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND INFORMED THEM OF THIS ISSUE, AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE TO SAY THE LEAST WITH REGARD TO THEIR RESPONSE. THEY CLEARLY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOR THE MOST PART LAYS THE BLAME ON THE DRIVER AND THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE REAR BRAKES REQUIRE REPLACING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE WHERE OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS, YET NO INVESTIGATION IS BEING LAUNCHED AND HYUNDAI CLEARLY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLEARLY SUBSTANDARD BRAKING SYSTEMS. *TR | |
