| Description of the problem | During braking, brake rotors failed and resulted in difficulty braking. Grinding noise noticed for several days prior. Upon checking about this particular issue with sonata's online, i determined that there seems to be a prevalent issue with sonata brake rotors prematurely wearing away. Again, in 9/2011, i noticed the same problem on the same rear rotors, and will have to get this replaced. Initial cost was very high, as the auto shop noted that the rotors and calipers were beyond repair and needed to be replaced. *kb |
