| Description of the problem | Intermittent rear brake noise on 2007 hyundai sonata for over 1year. Twice inspected at dealers shop, no problem found and all disc brake pads within specs. I noticed recently at 42,000 miles that the passenger side steel rear wheel was getting extremely hot due to rear brakes overheating. My dealer stated that pass. Side rear brake pad had worn down almost completely due to "brake pad slides sticking on calipers". New set of rear brakes were installed at cost of 240. 00 . My dealer and hyundai corporation both stated that repair work would not be covered under warranty! I feel this is a safety issue not only because of rear brake pad premature failure but the unknown effect on the rear wheel bearings due to overheating of brakes/wheel. |
