Brake Disc Pads Problems of Hyundai Elantra

When trying to make a sudden br. Ake, the vehicle took longer to brake than it should have. The tires and brake pads were in great condition and I know this because I had got them checked out prior to my road trip which is when the incident took place. Out of all the cars I have driven, none of them have took that long to make a complete stop. If there had been a car in the intersection, I would have definitly hit them which is very scary. As a result of this I now keep a much longer distance when driving behind others and I also brake ahead of time scared that one day the car might not stop at all.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would not immediately stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the brake pads however, the failure persisted. The local dealer - glendale Hyundai located at 411 s brand blvd, glendale, CA 91204 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure however, no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 17v063000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

My car feel like it don't want to stop I think it's something going on with my brakes pads it feel like it's nothing under my feet like I can feel everything I don't know it's it's like a feeling you had to be in the car to feel it and it don't do it all the time that's what's scary it doesn't mean it's wet too.

I have mid 26k miles I checked my brake fluid and pads they are both good. The brakes for the past 3 months roughly 15k miles (I drive 5k miles a month) have been spongy and soft. Unless I hit the brakes hard they barely work. Sometimes I have. To pump my brakes 2 or 3 times to have them feel normal. I'm going to take my car to the dealership and look over the abs system and braking system since it seems very unsafe and I have a newborn. It seems like the car only does it at speeds above 25 or 30mph.

Rear brake pads separated after 50,000 miles of mainly highway driving (my Honda accord, driven similarly, had brake pads last 150,000 miles). Vehicle is garaged.

"takata recall". Notice when pressing the breaks and hitting a bump in the road or man hole cover the brakes seem to release and skip forward losing control to some degree. I thought that it would be fix after installing brake pads and rotors but it still continues. I'm concerned what might happen during the winter in icey road or snow covered road conditions.

The vehicle was purchased new and has approx. ~76k miles in 6. 5 years of ownership. It is garaged when not in use. It has only ever been serviced at the same local Hyundai service center. At the 72,501-mile service, the brakes were assigned a yellow score on a red-yellow-green scale but no remedial work was recommended. Since then I have noticed no obvious issues with the vehicle's braking system nor received any dashboard indicators of vehicle issues. At yesterday's 76,184-mile service, I was told that the rear brakes needed urgent repair work. When I asked when I could bring the vehicle back for remedial work, I was told the repairs should be carried out immediately else I may lose the rear brakes. The inner rear pads were found to be coming apart from backing plates and "flapping". The rear brake pads were replaced and rear rotors resurfaced. For someone who drives conservatively specifically to increase brake life, it is extremely concerning that the vehicle's brakes went from ok 3500 miles ago, to now they could stop working imminently. For a fwd vehicle, it is interesting that the rear brakes specifically have this issue. Based on my experience, I am concerned those that do not service their Hyundai as frequently as I do, may experience sudden and catastrophic brake failure of factory-installed brake pads, rotors and other factory parts without warning, with obvious implications for occupant safety.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that the brakes malfunctioned while driving. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake pad needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,500.

When driving in rain for awhile, then gently come to stop, get a brake noise that shouldn't be there and whole car vibrates. Not going through puddles or standing water. This has happen several times. I discussed it with the service manager at our dealership, and he acknowledged the issue, and that Hyundai did as well, but said there is no solution currently. The stopping power is not good when this happens. After it dries, then the brakes function normal. Dealership said new pads and rotor might help, but wasn't a warranty issue. There is a problem and it should be fixed! this could be a problem that gets someone killed. Also, I find that other Hyundai owners have experienced the same brake problem.

Brakes: at 36k, I had to change the brake pads which may not be uncommon, however, it was the back brakes. The front brakes had more than half the life left on it and the back brakes were almost bare. Engine: in summer (July?) of 2013, I came out from work, after a full day of the car sitting out in the sun (approximately 85° weather), I attempted to turn the engine and it continued to turn, but not would not ignite/ start. After trying it for about 5min, I gave it a break and let it sit for about 10min. After which, I tried again and it was very hesitant to start (you could hear it wanted to), then eventually started. I dropped it off to the dealer the next day and they couldn't replicate the issue. Almost a year later (July?) 2014, the same thing happened again. The car sat out in the 80° weather in the sun all day. I came out from work and my car would not turn on; this time, the engine didn't do anything other than continue to turn like when your battery is dead. I called roadside and he jumped the car. He also checked the battery and said it shouldn't do that because it was not even close to dead. I again took into the dealer and they tried to replicate my issue, leaving it in the sun; no luck. They couldn't find anything wrong with it again. I haven't seen the issue since, but I am worried that a new car could even hesitate to start like this.

My car has 7000 miles and the brakes grind excessively and when braking at speeds 40 mph or higher, the car shakes and vibrates so hard I am afraid that the brakes will fail. This has been going on for more than a year. Last year, I brought it to the dealer (fairfax Hyundai in fairfax, virginia) for this problem and all they said was that this was due to rust buildup even though my car just had less than 5,000 miles on it and I just needed to brake hard to get rid of the rust. This has not helped and I believe that the brakes pads and rotors are defective and need to be replaced.

My wife owns a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and the complaint I've got is about the lug nuts. I had to replace the rear brake pads, brake shoes and rotors. The first problem I ran into on this project was that the lug nuts were so rusted that the lug wrench supplied with the car wouldn't fit over them - the chrome plating on the nuts had deteriorated allowing rust to built up underneath the plating so that the wrench wouldn't fit. (I thought of those individuals who had to change flat tires on the road and wouldn't be able to get the flat tires off. ) I called the dealer to see if new lug nuts were covered under warranty but they said no, that they'd give me a 'deal' of $10/nut - around $200 to replace all them on the car! I still have the rusted lug nuts on the car but carry an additional wrench that will fit over them. I did manage to replace all the parts, including rusted and warped rotors mentioned in some of the other complaints I've seen but caution anyone who plans to tackle this job to be prepared for a grueling job.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. While driving down a hill or making a turn at various speeds, there was an abnormal sound emitting from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions where it was diagnosed that the front driver side sway bar needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front and rear rotors and pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.

This is a problem with the grinding of the front brakes on my 2013 Elantra coupe from the day I drove it off the lot and now it is 15 months later and 12653 miles later and 5 trips back to the dealer to get it fixed, 1st they said they turned the rotors, 2nd they said they balanced the wheels, 3rd they said they aligned the front end, 4th they said it was a dust plate, and 5th they said it is normal. I went to a different dealer they said Hyundai had made new softer pads to fix this problem. I sent an e-mail to Hyundai customer connect center consumer affairs, they said to bring it back to the dealer. . . Updated 04-16-14.

I took my vehicle to firestone auto for an oil change and inspection. The technician found that when he applied the brakes they pulsated. Upon further investigation he found that all of the brake rotors are rusted and pitted. The rear rotors are worst than the front. He also noted that the rear brake shoes are worn out and need replaced. Normally the front pads are replaced twice to once in the rear. My guess is that the rotors caused the rear pads to wear out prematurely. I contacted Hyundai and they said that the rotors are warranted for 5 years / 60,000 miles but only manufactured defects are covered. They said that rusting and pitting from weather conditions is not covered. Should I have kept them oiled so they didn't rust? I have a 2006 kia with over 113,000 miles on it and the rotors are still perfect with no rust or corrosion. Both vehicles have been exposed to the same driving and weather conditions. Had I not paint for the vehicle inspection and been told that the rotors and brake pads were bad. I could have been subjected to brake failure or possibly one of them hanging up and causing a spin out condition.

The rear rotors on my 2008 Hyundai Elantra had grooves worn in with only a little over 37,000 miles on the car. The brake pads on the right rear were worn almost completely while the brake pads on the left rear had enough material left on them to drive another 15,000 miles. I took the car to a nationally recognized repair center for new pads because my brakes started to squeak. . The certified mechanic showed me the pads and the rotors and stated that it is odd for the pads on one side to be worn out and the pads on the other side to have about a year's worth of pad left. The side where the pads that had a year left on them the rotor had substantial groves. The rotor on the side with the worn pads had less damage. He stated the rotors were probably substandard and they were probably made in a foreign country with substandard materiel. I took the car to the Hyundai dealer where I bought the car for their perusal. The supervisor stated that the rotors were worn and the cause was likely a maintenance issue and is not covered under the car's warranty. I contend the problem is defective material and or poor workmenship. I contacted Hyundai customer assistance for help. They also stated this is not covered under the warranty. I believe there might be an issue with the rotors on other Elantra's on the road today and this issue could cause serious injury or worse if it is not addressed.

Winter of 2009 I noticed that brakes on my 2009 Hyundai Elantra would lock up and not work whenever driving on loose wet snow. The car would just slide as if on ice and there would be no feeling as of pads on steel from the brake pedal. Took car into fairfax Hyundai in fairfax, va. They inspected brakes and deemed that nothing was broken. However they weren't able to test drive the vehicle under the same snow conditions. Vehicle's brakes work fine when snow is plowed and compacted. On 16 December 2010 we had similar snowfall and vehicle behaved the same dangerous way. This time however I was able to clear the brakes of snow by rapidly stomping on the brake pedal until I could feel pad on steel and stop the vehicle from sliding. Haven't bothered to take vehicle in to fairfax Hyundai since they found nothing last year. Have sent notification, however, to Hyundai USA and to consumer reports. I don't want anyone to be hurt by this brake failure in snowy conditions. At the least drivers should be alerted that they can stop the vehicle by rapidly stomping on the brakes to clear the snow that seems to build up between the pads and the rotors.

I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra that I bought used with 28,000 miles. I took it in at 39,000 miles to have the rear brakes replaced. At 49,000 miles the rear brake pads were shot and had to be replaced again. I told the dealer that this is crazy, and they said they should not have worn that fast. I now have 60,000 miles and my rear brakes are shot again. Now the dealership says that maybe they see the rear brakes wear out more frequently in my car model, but they aren't saying it is normal. They want me to pay another $300 to replace the rear pads,and then look at them at 5,000 miles. Then they will try to determine if there is something wrong with the car that is causing the pads to wear excessively. I am afraid that my car is not safe, because my rear brakes are not wearing normally. I'm afraid that there is something wrong causing this problem, that the dealer doesn't want to take responsibility for.

I took my car into the dealership sept 2008 for 30,000 mile service. I was told my rear brakes were worn and had to be replaced. I have had to have my rear brakes changed for the 4th time in 3 years and 35,000 miles. There has to be something wrong with the way the braking system is working but the dealership says they can't find a problem and it must just be from driving. I have had other cars and have driven the same route with those cars and have never had to replace my brake pads every 10,000 miles. I am concerned about the safety of my car. I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra gts.

I had the vehicle inspected on March 3, 2007, it passed inspection. On March 23, 2007 lost the brakes. Upon dealer's inspection of the brakes,they found the pads came completely detached from the shoes. Also, the wheel cylinders were leaking. The brakes and wheel cylinders were fine 3 weeks prior to them blowing apart. Now I am out hundreds of dollars and am very thankful this occurred on a back road and not on a highway. Someone could have been easily killed.

The brakes on my 2003 Hyundai Elantra began grinding at only 39k miles. I contacted the dealership and was told brakes were not covered by my extended warranty. I took the car to midas because of the lifetime warranty and the brakes were not failing due to normal wear and tear. The front pads had a metal plate on the outside which had come lose and was cutting into the hub. The mechanic said this was a defect in the brake pads that occurred when they got hot and the adhesive came loose. During the inspection, they also discovered that the cylinders on the rear brakes were leaking. I ended up with over $600 in brake repairs.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle had a longer stopping distance. The vehicle was driven to the dealer on several occasions, however no problems were found. After many attempts to correct the problem, another dealer was contacted and determined the rear brakes were inoperable and the front brakes were doing all the work. The dealer replaced the front brake pads and adjusted the rear brakes.

I purchased a used Hyundai Elantra (1999). Due to credit issues I understand so had a very slim choice of vehicles. I was told that the vehicle I chose had a "25 point inspection" completed on it, and it is in "great" shape. When I took it for test drive I made a comment about the brakes grinding, again I was reassured by luvert allen that this "inspection" has been successfully completed and everything was fine. Once I got home I noticed more problems, such as the entire bottom of the vehicle is completely rusted out. The brakes pads are just grinding on metal, and it seems as if one of the axles is ready to break. When I called back dave phillips claimed I was having "buyers remorse", and that I "got what I paid for". Although this lemon, is past the lemon law status you would hope that people have business ethics. No one was willing to help me, when I expressed my safety concerns, dave phillips again said it was "buyers remorse" and I was "over reacting". Personally when it has to do with vehicle safety I can't believe a car "professional" would say that a customer was overreacting when expressing her safety concerns in the vehicle he sold her. I have had this vehicle for less than 24 hrs. As soon as I left that lot the check engine light came on. Luvert allen specifically stated that if this happens we can take it back. That too was a lie. Since we drove it off the lot it is. . . How did they put it. . "my problem". I have attempted to get help these and they refuse, what type of business is so careless when it comes to the safety of their customers. After reading the other complaint about south town riverdale I guess my question has been answered.
