| Description of the problem | I have a hyundai sonata 07 which has 27k miles on. Few days ago i heard grinding noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when stopping and when going from a stop. I took the car to the dealership and they said that this is a problem with the sonatas because of the way the break pads are put in and left with almost no room in the holders (i'm not sure what was the name of the part that holds the pads). I'm about to have the pads replaced and i'll save them for you but i've had other vehicles and never had that problem and nobody i asked had to change their breaks after 27k miles. I believe that this is a safety issue and that is why i'm writhing this complain and it is issue due to either bad parts or bad design. |
