| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 sonata with 46,000 miles and this is the second time the brakes have given me a problem. The first time i had to replace the rotors too. This time rear brakes are going out again and are down to the rotors. I think there should be some kind of warning light to warn the driver that the brakes are going bad. But twice at 46,000 miles that is not normal! The dealer has said it is normal wear and tear. I have mostly driven highway miles and can't understand why this is happening. |
