| Description of the problem | New sonata hybrid, owned 3 months, mileage 6,000 miles. Right rear brakes have locked on two different occasions at low speed while negotiating a hard left turn on a state highway. Both failures occurred at the same highway location about a month apart. When the right rear brakes locked, the vehicle was hard to control and as i was negotiating a sharp turn on a mountain road, it was terrifying. If there had been other vehicles coming in the opposing lane, there very easily could have been a head-on collision or worse (i. E car over the side of the mountain). Car will be taken to dealer for analysis and repair. |
