| Description of the problem | My 2007 hyundai sata fe, with 15,000 miles on the odometer-has squealing rear brakes. Dealer says,there is a corrosion problem in the calipers,and they have to be cleaned out every 8,000 thousand miles,at a cost of $90. Dollars which is ridiculous. I believe poor quality metal is being used in the brake parts , a very dangerous practice ! I got no satisfaction from hyundai motor america, consumer assistance cntr. ,to pay for this so called "brake service". I, paid for it, myself, probably like thousands of other hyundai owner's. Please,make them recall these unsafe vehicles, and install quality brake parts,and save the owner's from the cost of unnecessary service, on rear brakes. |
