| Description of the problem | 2015 hyundai santa fee i bought new, turbo sport. At 26,750 miles the disc pads on all 4 wheels fell off the steel backing plates. The pads in the front were paper thin and the back were somewhat better. The "squealers" that warn you of pad thickness never made a sound. Dangerous situation. I'm a 50 year service mechanics, never saw this before. The pads could have caused an accident with lack of stopping. I'm not asking for money back from them, warning owners not to expect the 50k mileage standard for hyundai vehicles. I called them at headquarters to warn them of this situation. Could have caused grand mother and child some serious out come as that is the only use for this vehicle. Beware |
