Hyundai Sonata Service Brakes, Hydraulic Safety Report | Dec 16, 2010
Reported on Dec 16, 2010
| THE REAR BRAKES ON THE SONATA ARE NOT RELEASING FULLY CAUSING EXCESS WEAR, BRAKE NOISE AND PREMATURE REPLACEMENT. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH APPX 20K MILES ON IT SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE REAR BRAKES WERE REPLACED BEFORE PURCHASE. FOR ME THE FIRST REPLACEMENT CAME AT 31,514 MILES, THE SECOND ABOUT 18,000 MILES AFTER THAT (49,465) AND ONCE AGAIN ABOUT 1500 MILES LATER AT 50,973. HYUNDAI DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO REPLACE THEM UNDER WARRANTY. ANY BRAKE PAD/ROTOR SYSTEM THAT FAILS AT AN AVERAGE OF 20K NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR | |
