| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | REAR BRAKES STICKING ON. FIRST OCCURRED AT 35,000 MILES AND DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED REPLACED, BUT UPON INSPECTION I SAW THAT ONLY ONE PAD WAS WORN TO THE METAL, AND THE OTHERS WERE AT > 50% LIFE. I REPLACED THE PAD BUT THE CALIPER AND SLIDER DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE AND THE FAILURE HAPPENED AGAIN AT 40,000 MILES. THIS TIME THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND SUFFERED LOSS OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE AS THE INDICATOR, ALONG WITH NOISE, SMOKE, AND ODOR. THE HYUNDAI DEALER (MIKE MILLER IN PEORIA, IL) WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY, INSTEAD SAYING IT WAS A NORMAL WEAR ITEM. *TR |
