| Description of the problem | A chirping noise and burning smell in my 2007 hyundai sonata sent me to my hyundai dealer. $400 later the service manager told me that the brakes were rusty and seizing up. Invoice said, "20442 lr pads separating locked in slides resurfaced rear rotors, replaced pads, adjusted park brake, and serviced front brakes." manager said it was due to the winter salt on our nh roads and that he'd been seeing a lot of these brake issues and had been complaining to hyundai with no results. Manager said i need to have the rust removed from the brakes every 15,000 miles. Checked online and found that other folks are having the same problem and i see the same complaint here in your database. See http://hyundaiforum. Com/forum/showthread. Php? T=6314. |
