1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 03/28/2000

Brakes will squeal very loudly when slowing down or coming to a complete stop. Had brakes checked and everything was fine. Dealer contacted.

2 Brake Disc problem

The front brake rotors on my vehicle have warped, and are getting worse with the more miles I drive. I noted the problem began when the vehicle had approximately 12,000 miles. Whenever I brake from highway speeds the steering wheel shimmies quite badly. Coincidentally, 2 friends own the 1999 Sonata. They, too, have the same problem. One has already had to replace the rotors because the shimmy was so bad he almost lost control of the vehicle while braking to pay a toll. I truly believe the original equipment rotors on the 1999/2000 Sonata's are defective in design and purpose.
