2008 Hyundai SONATA Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	809543
Internal NHTSA #	10349631
Manufacurer	HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA
Model Year	2008
File date	13/08/10
Component	SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At 10k miles rear brake rotors were glazed from sticking brake pads; rotors were machined and brake pads replaced. At 26. 8k miles the rear brakes were "metal to metal" and brake pads completely worn due to drivers side brake pad being seized into rotors (dealers language). Dealer attributed brake failure to increased corrosion due to our maine location. None of the other vehicles we have had exhibited these problems. This is a safety issue in that i have been operating the car for an indeterminate time with no rear brakes. The defect was discovered during a normal tire rotation. I suspect hyundai encourages tire rotation at every service interval in order to have an opportunity to examine rear brakes.
