Brake Disc Caliper problems of the 2010 Hyundai Sonata

The right rear brake burned up three times now had the calipers changed two times on right side once on left side in 90000 miles there must be a problem in system that's interment I have a non contact infrared thermometer in my car that I ck temps of brakes when I drive I ck them when I stop in parking lots rest stops trying to catch the problem before the brakes burn up some times I can drive over 150 miles no problem some times just 10 miles brakes heat up to 315 degrees or more last repair the rear pads on right side where burnt up left where still good the dealer shop checked out brakes could not find any reason the right was sticking or dragging the date of repair was oct 10- 2017. That was the most resent.

After driving on highway and then slowing for traffic which became stop and go traffic - the brake pedal started slowly fading all the way to the floor. After coming to a stop and pumping the pedal - the brakes seemed to respond but then the same issue repeated - had to have the car towed and discovered that the calipers had frozen on both rear wheels (wheels would not turn freely by hand when car was on lift) and the front right caliper was becoming tight as well. Repair involves new calipers, rotors and pads for all 4 wheels.

Back rear brakes have needed constant replacing since the first replacement in 2013 at 41,658 miles---rear pads and rotars. Eight mos. Later at 48,900, replaced the rear rotars and pads again. Two weeks later at 49,247, replaced rear left flex brake hose and caliper, and deglazed pads and rotars. Six months later at 56,199, the right rear brake was metal to metal and binding--replaced right rear caliper, rotar, and pads. Today, Dec. 29, 2015, with mileage at 67,950, had to fix the back left brakes which emitted a terrible burning smell when used. The mechanic replaced, under warranty, the whole back set of brakes (rotars, calipers, pads). The lug nuts and studs were all seized up from the heat of the left rear brake failure and had to be forcibly removed and replaced by the mechanic. There is something very wrong with the back rear brakes of this car, and these brake failures should not be happening with so little mileage put on the brakes between repairs.

Rear caliper frozen/sticking.

I have had to replace the brake pads three times. Replaced rotors front and rear. Replaced calipers on rear and repaired the fronts. 87000 highway miles. Transmission hard shift from new. Dealer states that they have never heard of any trouble like this.

Caliper locked up on driver side rear causing rotor and pads to experience severe damage and needed to be replaced. Second time this happened. Previous incident was rear passenger side brakes in March 2013 in which all rear brake pads, rotors and that caliper needed to be replaced. This incident also caused premature wear on front brakes and those needed replacement months later. Dealer would not repair as it was out of warranty mileage.

Defective rear brakes. One rear brake pad was down to metal. Grinding and smoking. Pads and rotors were replaced by Hyundai dealer. Now at 38,000 miles car is in local shop for same work. One of three pads are down to metal. Diagnosed as defective brake caliper. Claim will be made to Hyundai but many others have been denied per internet and n. Y. Class action lawsuit. This is considered to be a possible safety issue.

Back rear brake sounded like it was grinding and brake pedal very soft. Took for repair while out of state. They replace all 4 break pads and rotors. Next day I went back and complained that I smelled a burning smell and was told that was normal. On July 8 heard grinding sound which was severe on right rear brake. Repair shop owner said the caliper right rear seized and destroyed brakes. All rotors and pads on rear needed to be replaced. The repair shop showed me the pad and rotor from the right rear brake and I saw that there was nothing left of a pad and could plainly see how the meal on both the pad and rotor were ground. I believe that I previously had the brakes repaired but can't remember the specifics.

The contact owns a 2010 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, she applied the brakes but the vehicle did not decelerate. Teh contact applied extreme force to the brakes and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard before the vehicle began to decelerate. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the calipers and brakes would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 90,000.

Caliper right rear seized and destroyed brakes. All rotors and pads needed to be replaced, front and rear due to premature wear. All tires worn as well and need replacement. Mechanic said caliper should not have done this at this mileage. Common issue reading online reports and a class action suit in NY has been filed. Safety issue.

The drivers side rear brakes are buring through brake pads. The calipers are working smoothly but for unknown reason they are sticking. The front bakes are fine but the rear set has gone through 2 sets of brake pads in less than 10,000 miles.

I had to replace the rear brake pads on my 2010 Sonata at 16,794 miles on both sides. I had to replace the rear pads and rotors on both sides at 23,156 miles. I had to replace the right rear brake line, pad, rotor and caliper at 25,854 miles. There has been no issues on front brakes, however, I have had to service my rear brakes 3 times. I bought this vehicle brand new from my local Hyundai dealer and it had 4 miles on it. I have spent $768. 80 on my rear brakes since I have bought this vehicle in February of 2010. There is clearly a problem with the brake components on this car. The rear brakes should not wear out before the front bakes, and especially a vehicle that has 16,000 miles on it.
