| Description of the problem | We own a 2007 hyundai sonata with 16,000 miles on it, barely 2 years old. The brakes had a squeal at about 15,000 miles and we couldn't put our finger on the problem. At 16,000 miles the rear wheels began grinding and i called cochran to have it fixed. They set me up with an appointment the next day. They told me my back brakes were worn and the rotors needed cut. This has to be some defect in the braking system, i've never had to replace brakes on any of my cars under 50,000 miles. They said it was not a warranty problem and charged me $225 for the repair. I think hyndai should put out a recall on these calipers hanging up on the 2007 sonata, and reimbursed all of us that have had this problem. |
