| Description of the problem | The vehicle needed rear brake pads and cutting of the rear rotors at 24,000 miles. No matter what your driving habits are or type of driving you do (highway vs. Around town} that is way to early for rear brakes to need replacing. I have checked with various dealers and they all agree that is not normal. Now there is also burning smell that occurs periodically coming from the rear of the car. I brought it to the dealer where i purchased it, hackettstown hyundai, and they made me wait a week for an appointment and then looked it over quickly and said they smell nothing and see no problem. They were rude and you could tell they wanted nothing to do with the problem. I mentioned there is a class action lawsuit due to premature rear brake wear but they knew nothing and could care less. It seems someone is going to have to be involved in a fatal accident for hyundai to care. Lets get together and makes them correct the problem before its to late. |
