| Manufacurer | Hyundai Motor America |
| Brand | HYUNDAI |
| Model | SONATA HYBRID |
| Model Year | 2014 |
| File date | 15/04/14 |
| Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | When the brakes are applied a little more rapidly or harder than normal there is a short grumble noise. This noise has no relationship to car speed as it will make this same noise if the car isn't moving or at any speed. The brakes feel and operate normally with the exception of the noise they make. I have told two different service departments and been told this noise is normal on all the sonata hybrid cars. In the two years and 19,000 miles the noise remains the same, no less or more. Even if the car isn't on pushing on the brake peddle it will make the noise three or four times. The car has done this since new. |
