| Description of the problem | I sent you an email regarding the problem. You want additional information. But didn't say what addition information. Bottom line is i had brakes put on in may 2020 on my 2014 hyundai, they didn't feel rit., took car back, test ride, seemed ok. These brakes were manufactured by wagner brakes.; . For a few weeks when i pressed on brakes there was a squeal, while car was moving, and lately sounded like steel on steel. While care was moving took car back to jtires plus, brakes were defective, they replaced them with duralast gold brakes. I'd like to know if there have been other complaints against wagner brakes, and i'd like a full investigation of these brakes. The other issue is the recall on my 2014 sonata power train/gear shift; campaign # 123. This was completed in 2017; however, some months ago once the gear shift was in part with motor off, and i turned on the motor the shift would not move from the park position. I had to work with it a while; sometimes after a while i would put the key. Next to the shift compartment and i could shift the gear. I'd like to know if you have received any other complaints about the shift gear and how to have a second recall on campaign 123. The other problem is sometimes when i put on the e brake, it seems like the car would take too long to come to a complete stop. The other day after being parked, i turned on the engine, put the gear in reverse, but it continued to go forward. I had to turn the engine off and restart it and then put it in reverse before it reversed. I'd like to know if you've received complaints like this and i am requesting that my car be tested for the aforementioned problems free of charge due to all of the recalls hyundai has had in the past. In all of the situations above the car was on city streets, with the exception of the reversing, i was parked in a fast food parking lot. *js |
