| Description of the problem | Rear brakes on 2007 hyundai sonata acquired high pitched squeal, odor, and wheels were hot to the touch at 19,800 miles. Dealer replaced brakes pads and resurfaced rotor. Seems to be premature wear of rear brake pads and rotors due to defective rear brake mechanisms causing the pads to freeze against the rotors. Dealer maintains the brakes need "adjusting" every 10,000 miles to avoid the problem. |
