Description of the problem	I own a 2009 hyundai sonata limited edition. I bought it on april 8, 2010 and it had 21k at the time of purchase. On july 17, 2011, (now at 47k miles) i noticed a squealing noise coming from the tires as they went around. This noise got progressively worse over the next 3 days and i brought it in to the dealership where i purchased it. (i also purchased a great 7yr warranty which covers basically anything except for routine maintenance items.) i dropped the car off on the evening of july 21, 2011 and the next day the dealership called me to inform me what was wrong with my car. They said the caliper slides were hanging up and it had caused all my brakes and rotors to need to be replaced. They offered to fix "my problem" for $520. I asked how this could possible be my fault, i've owned several cars and i've never once heard of lubing the caliper slides. They said that this was routine maintenance and would not be covered under my warranty, even though my warranty specifically states that it covers faulty calipers. Then i found this website: http://www. Sonatabrakedefect. Com/index. Php/sonatadefect/sonatacomments. Html and i realized i wasn't the only one experiencing this problem. As i read further on i realized that hyundai will not cover this defect but recommends that you pay them to have your caliper slides lubed every 15,000 miles. When i picked my vehicle up, which i did not allow them to fix, i asked why i was never notified that this was a required service in order to prevent this issue. I received no logical answer. I also asked them to show me where in my owners manual under routine maintenance it stated that the caliper slides needed to be lubed and they could not show me. They said if i had brought my vehicle in to them for maintenance that it would have been taken care of. The wear on the brakes is completely ridiculous and unsafe. All pads are worn unevenly and in excess. All of my brakes are destroyed and must be replaced at this point. *tt

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
