| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 hyundai sonata that has a stuck caliper for the second time in 14 months. The first time they changed both rear calipers under warranty as the car had just under 36k miles. Yesterday, at 55k miles, i discovered when having my oil changed that the rear caliper on the driver's side is stuck again. I heard a little squeaking this last week and thought i would have my breaks checked. To my surprise, mechanics at mr. Tire told me the right pad is hardly worn, but the left rear pad is almost completely gone and has affected the rotor slightly. I am afraid this will be a safety issue in the ice and have read many similar complaints on edmunds carspace and believe this should be an issue for recall. |
