2006 Hyundai SONATA Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1084669
Internal NHTSA #	10608678
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2006
File date	01/07/14
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Brakes failed due to corroded steel hard lines for rear brakes. The hard lines failed approximately under the driver seat in a protected plastic channel that contains the brake hard lines, and fuel lines. On further inspection brake lines are heavily corroded, and fuel lines also have extensive corrosion. The point of failure happened while attempting to stop quickly in a high traffic situation while applying high brake pressure. The brake lines are in a partially enclosed channel - so are not visible for inspection, and the issue was missed even after taking the car for an evaluation at sears after this issue occurred. Symptoms of this incident included: sinking brake pedal, brake warning light, low fluid in brake reservoir, and loss of control of the vehicle. Brake lines can fail - however this was surprising as the car has very low miles - and was only driven for approx 65,000 miles in the midwest where salt was used occasionally (central illinois). It should be expected that the brake lines would last at least for the 10yr or 120,000 mile manufacture lifetime of the car. *js
