| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2009 hyundai sonata. The brakes (rear) are supposedly worn out at 16,000 miles even though the front brakes are "like new". From reading on line there is a problem with these brakes that hyundai refuses to ackowledge or repair. I believe that it is time for the nhta to force the issue. How is it that a manufacturer can stonewall everyone when it is obvious that there is a design defect? All any of us get from hyundai is that htey understand our concern but they will do nothing. |
