| Description of the problem | Pulled off to the side of the road. Snow on the road. Started to move out to the road again when i noticed a loud grinding coming from the rear brakes. Made it home and took the car to the shop where i bought it, healy hyundai in beacon ny. Rear brakes down to metal and rotors going. They resurfaced rotors and said it was normal wear and tear. No other explanation. I did not appreciate this because even not having not much of a mechanical background, i never had trouble like this with brakes this early on and i have driven many a car and many miles. The car has 36,014 miles and heaely said the front brakes have at least a year to go. Someone at hyundia needs to get to the bottom of this before this becomes alot worse. Please i hope someone looks into this. Also the dealers need to be honest with people and not blame an perceived defect in my opinion with the brakes on the driver. I have children and don't want the brakes to fail. Please look into this. |
