Description of the problem	At the tire replacement service at about 61k miles (very gentle, first owner, still had more than 2/32 tread left on the factory tires at 61k miles) i was told by the technician that the rear break pads have to be replaced. With in 2 days i took the car to aamco since there was a $35 brake pad service deal. I was told after inspection that a caliper piston is seized and so the calipers, the damaged rotors and of course the brake pads have to be replaced - preferably for booth rare wheels, in order to have similar braking characteristics. While it is common sense that the front brake pads would wear faster, the aamco folks were surprised to find the rear brake system in such a bad condition while the original front brakes were still good. Per their opinion it is mostly due to a manufacturer defect. I called hyundai warranty immediately, they provided a case number, but i was told i was out of luck since i am just past 60k miles and also there is no recall specific to rear brakes that will address my concern. With this i thought i lost all my bragging rights about hyundai - on their reliability and value for the money. Moreover, this is unbelievable since on a 1997 nissan altima which i own, i still have 25% left on the rear brakes at 125k miles. Shortly later i found scores of sonata owners who complained about this issue in the internet forums as well as nhtsa site. I also found complaints about sun visors not staying in place, hanging loosely, a hazard while driving. I have this problem too but never payed much attention to it. Currently i am not in a position to shell out over $600 dollars to get the rear brake issue fixed to be able to take myself and my family safely in the car. I hope my complaint breaches the threshold and nhtsa takes action to have hyundai fix the issue at hyundai's cost asap. Thanks for providing me this opportunity to log the complaint.
