| Description of the problem | Left rear brake locked up on 2007 hyundai sonata. Dealer looked at it and determined the brake caliper was stuck due to corrosion and brake dust buildup, causing the brake to be applied 100% of the time, thus wearing away the pad and causing the backing plate to contact the rotor. Dealer said this was a common failure on sonata in areas where road salt is used. Pads replaced and rotors resurfaced. Not covered under warranty. Car has 20,000 miles on it. |
