| Description of the problem | I took my sonata hybrid in for service. I told the service manager that every morning i get into the car and i apply the brakes when starting, the brakes make a noise. It almost sounds like an old rusty spring that someone in trying to push down and it squeaks. It does not make this noise when the car has been driven. Only when its cold or just being started. The techs were unable to find anything but told me to keep an eye on it and if any recalls came in then they might be able to fix the problem. It has been doing this for a long time. Not getting any worse and not getting better by itself. It just should not be doing this on a new car, period. |
