I have had to replace all 4 brake calipers on my 2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS due to not releasing and wearing out brake pads and rotars. Has there been any recalls in regards to this matter?.
Replaced rear brake pads, rotors twice within 2 months. Replacing hoses, calipers, even though no sign of leak and calipers easily move in and out. Manufacture problem/abs? out of warranty and dealer wants nothing to do with it.
Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated while driving at highway speed of 65 mph the front driver's side caliper locked and caused the vehicle to swerve. The failure was experienced a second time on the front passenger side while driving 40 mph in snowy weather conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a diagnostic test was performed which located the failure in the brake lines when the rubber wore prematurely and prevented the brake fluid to flow to the calipers. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 55,000. Rk.
The brake does not release. As you drive the brake smokes and rubs causing you to step harder on the gas to move forward. Eventually you hear the brake release and it drives normally. I had a new caliper , rotor and brake pad put on 2 weeks ago for the same issue.

1) within three months of buying this car, starting issues began. Generally on the second start of the day. First start of the day usually involves high engine revving somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 rpm. After a short trip, ignition will no click over attempt to restart. Usually second or third try result in a start. Despite dealer replacement of starter, fuel pump and battery, the problem continues periodically. 2) rear brakes needed replacement at 24k miles. Wear was uneven: left brake was grinding into rotor and right brake was only about 50 percent worn. Had dealership check for possible faulty calipers, but they claimed they found no issues and would not cover under warranty. In contrast, the car still has the original front brakes.
