| Description of the problem | Issue #1 brakes making a wierd squalling sound when we apply the brakes at various times driving . We brought our 2017 sonata hybrid numerous times without any fix ! Serious safety issue ! Issue #2 wei brought our 2017 hyundai sonata with only 14,000 miles to service dept. At hyundai to inspect tires & brakes & oil change before leaving on our long trip to miami . Everything checked out ok ! We drove 2/3 of way on i-75 highway & only stopped once for gas . We noticed a thumping sound & our car started "pulling to the right". We thought it was a flat tire & stopped at the next rest area to inspect tires for proper psi inflation... All tires checked out ok?? There was no "warning lights on " so we got back onto i-75 & we really got nervous as the shaking really got worse as we drove on. We slowed down to 40 mph. With flashers on. We called roadside assistance for directions to nearest hyundai dealership. We slowly made it to rick case hyundai who inspected our car & were "shockingly told that the (2) right side tires experienced "belt seperations " & they had to be replaced immediately with a new wheel alignment (over $ 500). Tech said ! Wow that looks like two manufacturer defective tires ! We carried 2 tires back tto our local hyundai service dept in npr & will try to get reimbursed by hankook ! This is a "serious safety issue " with these tires as we have read all the complaints about these model tires. We would like to replace the other (2) tires that are still on vehicle with these major safety issues ! My wife & i dont feel safe with the tires & brakes concerns ! |
