| Description of the problem | My 2013 sonata was making a loud noise when i applied the brakes. I took it to my mechanic who stated i needed brake pads and rotors. I was told that it was suspicious that my rear brakes were almost new and the front were worn down to the rotors with 18,000 miles after owning the care over 2 years. The dealer denied any recalls on the brakes. A few months prior, this same car drifted out of parking onto the middle of a busy road. When i took the car to the dealer, they denied any problems with the car. I called the corporate office and was told to take it to another dealership. Hyundai dealerships does not treat their customers with respect and they do not own the problems with their vehicles. |
