| Description of the problem | As i was driving out of my parking spot i noticed a hard pull from the rear of the car. I opened the driver door to see what the problem was a noticed the back driver wheel was not rotating. It was completely stuck. It made a tire mark on that concrete. I put the car in park and that is when i heard a loud pop coming from the rear. I also noticed that the emergency hand brake was completely loose. It has no pull to it. As if it were completely seized. I had noticed this problem in the hand brake a few weeks ago but i did not think it was serious. Also a few weeks ago i was driving around 40mph and noticed a burning/ fire smell coming from the rear. I pulled over and i bent down to smell the rear passenger wheel and that is where the smell was coming from. I will take my car to the dealer to get this serious problem fixed. I know there is a recall for this problem on manual transmission models but not yet on dct models which is what i have. Please make this a recall on all 2012 hyundai velosters. |
