| Description of the problem | Rotors needed to be replaced at cost of $375 at only 18,500 miles.. Rotors should not need replacing at such a low mileage. Took it to dealer who stated that it was due to rust from salt on roads. Have owned numerous vehicles prior and driven on same roads and never needed rotor replacement so early. Internet is filled with hyundai owners with similar complaints. Hyundai uses inferior parts and is aware of these numerous complaints but does nothing to fix the problem. Something must be done to protect the public from hyundai's defective products or people will continue paying for expensive brake work at extremely low mileages. Will never buy a hyundai again!! |
