| Description of the problem | Approximately 2015 the fuel level sensors began malfunctioning and then failed completely within a few weeks causing the vehicle to constantly show an empty fuel light even when full. In 2017 at some the passenger side rear brake caliper bracket pins seized with no noticeable driving difference until drivers side rear rotor began to fail. I do not know how long i have been driving with only 1 rear brake. Hyundai doesn't sell the parts that need to be replaced. The whole caliper must be purchased not just the defective parts. |
