Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2012 Hyundai Accent

I was traveling home from the store may 3rd 2014 and came into a curve on route 20 between princeton and athens w. V. . The curve was to the right in a low but steep bank at 40 mph and the right front wheel caliper grabbed causing immediate loss of speed and caused momentary loss of control but regained as soon as the caliper released which was in approximately two seconds. Fortunately no oncoming traffic was around or it could have been messy. The wheel was feeling sluggish after the incident and I'm no longer happy with this vehicle, it is to dangerous. The same thing just happened again today may 4th 2014.

My brakes had been making a noise. Not really loud but a slight grind. I was told I needed brake pads. I was going to get them during the weekend. I came to a stop at light and heard a popping/banging noise. I then could not move. My car was locked up. My father looked and thought it was maybe ebrake so we loaded on trailer and brought to dealership. It was the caliper, the piston shot off and locked up wheel. The dealer said he had never seen anything like it but unfortunately it would not be covered under warranty. I have read several other complaints about the brakes. . . I realize I have high mileage but I have brought it to dealer two times due to issues with brakes - first time I was told it was fine, second time I was told pads low. ????.

2012 Hyundai Accent. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle faulty brake calipers and seeks reimbursement for repairs. In October 2012, a service repair shop, informed the consumer, the right rear brake pad was completely worn out and the rotors needed to be turned. The left rear caliper had not stuck and the brake pad still had lots of wear left on it. The next day, the consumer went to the dealer to have the vehicle repaired under warranty. The dealer informed the consumer t he repair was not covered under warranty, because the right rear caliper slide had become dirty and was stuck, thus causing the service problem. While the vehicle was in the air, the consumer noticed the aluminum pad depth indicator clip was broken also. If that had been working, the problem would have been caught sooner. The consumer went back to the local repair shop, and the refused to fix the problem because they were adamant the caliper issue was Hyundai's responsibility and under warranty. The consumer eventually paid to have the pads replaced and the rotors turned at a cost of $ 271. 00.
