| Description of the problem | We had to replace the rear brake pads in august 2013 and now in december 2013 having an issue with the rear driver side pad sticking. After hearing the grinding noise again i took it to the repair shop. They are replacing the rotor, pads and calipers for failure to function at a cost of $400. The front pads were still in good condition. These are hyundai oem brakes. I have been reading numerous complaints about rear brake issues on other 2010 hyundai vehicles. I have also read that there is a class action law suite in new york over this same issue. I wanted to make a report and possibly find out if there are any plans for an investigation. Hyundai does not seem to have any plans to recall since the issue seems to have existed along time. This is far from normal wear and tear and at the cost of the purposed (by hyundai service) periodic removal, cleaning, and lubing of the brake pads. This is not normal on any other car and i cannot see this a non issue. That is not to mention the danger of possible brake failure. Is hyundai waiting for someone to die first? |
