Description of the problem	With out any warning my rear brakes failed. I had to apply as much brake pedal as i could to stop the vehicle. After that i kept my speed down to a speed that i feel that i could stop the car safely. A short time after that the front brakes started shuddering. I was headed for my cottage in north ontario at night were there are no garages so i had to have parts sent to that location were i replaced the front and rear rotors and brake pads. If had to make an emergency stop with the brakes in that condition i would have surely had an accident. Luckily the traffic was light. The rear brake pad was so tight in the caliper that i had to hit it with a hammer to free it and i had to grind part of the new pad so that it would fit loose in the caliper. I have to assume that the front breaks had to work so hard with no back breaks that the front rotor warped from the heat since they were fine up to that time. This is definitely a design flaw in the hyundai brakes. The fit of the brake pad to the caliper is too close and the slightest amount of rust causes them to jam. Even without rust the new rotors were so tight that any good mechanic would not install them in that condition. This is a serious faults and i am not alone with this problem. Hyundai's answer is to pay $ 200 every year and have the brakes serviced. This is not a solution since they could seize up to 6 months after service the way the hyundai brake parts are rusting. I had check all my brakes at the end of the winter and they seemed to be fine. The pads were not worn and the car was stopping okay. [xxx] note that i live in canada but the car was purchased in buffalo. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
