We had our vehicle warrantied for the rotten frame on our vehicle last year. At that point you would think Hyundai would have warned us that our brake lines were swiss cheese just like our frame, these cars rot out, the entire vehicle is a death trap. The brake lines broke 3 times in the past 6 months after sections were already replaced. These vehicles need all the brake and fuel lines replaced immediately!!! this is not routine maintenance and should be recalled immediately!! the power steering line rotted out 5 years ago, this car was made out of really crappy metal. Dangerous vehicle. Everything on this vehicle is rotted out beyond what is normal, the wheels, the brake drums, everything on these vehicles rot to the point of swiss cheese. After 10 years these vehicles are very unsafe. Our vehicle only has 50,000 miles on it.
The brake lines from engine to the back of the car need to be replaced because one of the attachments (holding the brake lines in place underneath the car) got rusted and corrosion. Then it caused the brake line to get rusted and brake fluid started to leak pretty bad. Is it normal for the brake lines to get rusted?? should I report to Hyundai? the brake fluid reservoir went empty so quickly and I found the leaking spot. It squirts pretty bad when I apply the brake pedal. The leaking spot is underneath the car where the back seats are located. I need some advise before I start doing something. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2002 Hyundai Sonata lx. The brake line was attached to where it was suppose to be attached and it rubbed against the cv boot, causing the brake line and the cv boot to fail. The contact brought car last October to dealer because the cv boot failed and it was replaced under warranty. Currently, the brake line and the cv boot failed, causing vehicle to hit a garage. The dealership said it looked as if the brake line came loose from where it was suppose to be, and it was not covered under warranty. The consumer had to replaced the brake line with a temporary one in order to take the vehicle to the dealer for repair. The delaer claimed that whoeverr replaced it installed in improperly. The contact felt that this happened because of the brake line was rubbing against the cv boot. She replaced the brake line out of pocket. Her husband felt that this was a design problem. The brake line was securely fastened even after the brake failure. Two boots and one brake line were replaced.
