I took in for brakes after having it only 3 months. I almost got in accident because brakes failed. Amco told me it was the calibers and said it was a manufacturer defect because after changing pads, the caliber was stuck and would not close. He said vehicle was too knew for this type of problem. It had to be fixed because it was a safety issue so it was fixed for $900. Want to report as safety issue. Could have caused multi vehicle crash.

Hello. So I am driving Hyundai Sonata 2012 since February 2015. I bough it used with approximately 42000 miles. When I bough a car I didn't pay attention but realized that braking on low speeds downhill or on flat surface - brakes would go all the way down to the floor. At around 55000 miles I replaced front brake pads and rotors and did brake fluid change, and then later I replaced rear brake pads and rotors. The issues still is there. At 107000 miles I recently changed again front pads and rotors and the problem still exists. The dealer said that it it fault hecu unit. I saw that there is recall #13v489000 for Hyundai genesis with what appears like exact same problem. Is there a chance that my vehicle is affected by that recall? or that you have some complains from other owners or current investigation on this matter?.

I had a loud scraping noise coming from the rear of my car and for the second time in 2 years, I have had to have my rear pads and rotors replaced. . The first time was in November of 2012. . I am the original owner of this car and this is excessive. I have read 51 other complaints of the same problem. I have had 5 Hyundais and not put rear brakes on them until over 100,000 miles. .

During an inspection I was informed that the rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. I then took the car for a second opinion which verified that the rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. I was surprised as the car had only about 53k miles and the front brake pads were still good (although I was informed they had about another 60,000 miles). Up to now the car has run well with the exception of the front door latch being replaced which I know is another problem with the Hyundai Sonatas. I did think Hyundai customer service could have been better for both issues.

I went to a sears auto center back in December 2012 to get an alignment. In the first week of may 2013, I went back to sears to have my alignment rechecked because I was experiencing shaking while braking. They told me my rear brake shoes were corroded and falling apart and I needed to change them, along with getting new rotors and brake pads. After have these parts installed, the mechanic called me over regarding my alignment and said the rear suspension frame was corroded and rusted in 2 places, causing the tow to go out of alignment. They said I needed to either replace the whole subframe or have a steel beam welded to it for stability so they could get the correct alignment specs. If I didn't fix it, the alignment would always be off. They also warned me that if I travelled with my vehicle long distance, the frame could break where the corrosion occurred, causing an accident. 2 weeks ago, I was driving at about 35 mph in my neighborhood when my steering wheel listed to the left about 45 degrees and my rear wheels started to lean in. The driver's side rear wheel was also turned outwards which caused the car to fishtail and swirve uncontrollably during driving. I felt very unsafe and my car has been parked in my driveway since until I can get it towed to a repair shop.

The vehicle needed rear brake pads and cutting of the rear rotors at 24,000 miles. No matter what your driving habits are or type of driving you do (highway vs. Around town} that is way to early for rear brakes to need replacing. I have checked with various dealers and they all agree that is not normal. Now there is also burning smell that occurs periodically coming from the rear of the car. I brought it to the dealer where I purchased it, hackettstown Hyundai, and they made me wait a week for an appointment and then looked it over quickly and said they smell nothing and see no problem. They were rude and you could tell they wanted nothing to do with the problem. I mentioned there is a class action lawsuit due to premature rear brake wear but they knew nothing and could care less. It seems someone is going to have to be involved in a fatal accident for Hyundai to care. Lets get together and makes them correct the problem before its to late.

When I was braking, the passenger front brakes made a horrible metal on metal sound. I had a mechanic look at the brakes (to far from a Hyundai dealer). The mechanic could not find any problems. This. Has gone on for months. I had the brake pads replaced even though the original pads were still good. I finally took my car to the Hyundai dealer who explained to me (the rotors were extremely rusted and needed to be replaced) what, this sounds like a manufacturing issue. No, I had all rotors replaced and new brake pads all the way around. Guess what, still making the sound in the front passenger side.

The right rear brake pad was worn down paper thin and caused the rotor to be scored. After the rotor and pads where replaced the same passenger read wheel began to burn and caused a very pungent order. Large amounts of brake dust also began to collect on the wheel. This same problem has already been reported by others.

We had to replace the rear brake pads in June 2012 and now in January 2013 having an issue with the rear diver side pad sticking. The front pads were still in good condition. These are Hyundai oem brakes. I have been reading numerous complaints about rear brake issues on Hyundai vehicles. I have also read that there is a class action law suite in new york over this same issue. I wanted to make a report and possibly find out if there are any plans for an investigation. Hyundai does not seem to have any plans to recall since the issue seems to have existed since 2006. This is far from normal wear and tear and at the cost of the purposed (by Hyundai service) periodic removal, cleaning, and lubing of the brake pads I cannot see this a non issue. That is not to mention the danger of possible brake failure.

Was driving and noticed a burning smell in the car. Stopped and could find anything wrong. So we drove home, at maybe 15 miles from home we noticed a scraping sound. And could not drive any further, being late at night we called a friend who has a tow truck and is mechanic. Told us the brake pads were worn and was scraping metal to metal. He towed us home for $25. 00 when we got home we called roadside service they towed it napleton Hyundai in calumet city ill we purchased the car from, family hynudai 8101 w 159th st tinley park ill the vehicle was a used trade in with 39,736 miles purchase date was 2/18/2012. Upon inspection at napleton Hyundai we were told that the left rear brake pad had hung up in holder and that we needed to replace it and rotor. The right pads were fine and hardly any wear at all we were told the warranty does not cover that. Why should one side go bad and not the other. Unless there is a defect some where.

I have had to replace my rear brakes and rotors twice in 5yrs. The first was in may of 2012. The vehicle had 28,000 miles. There was no warning lights my first indication was a dragging sound. I just had them replaced again April 2014 with 42. 000 miles. Again no warning until the horrible grinding sound. Also many times after long trips there is a distinct burning smell. I was told by the dealer that it was my tires. Another repair company told me it was my brakes getting hot. They said that the rear brakes are constantly engaged thus burning the pads and decreasing gas millage. Other people have reported the same problem though Hyundai denies it. It is a huge safety issue!!.

I was told by the dealer on 3/6/12, that the rear brakes were seizing up and that I would need new rotors due to extreme rust and new pads after only 16,500 miles.

During routine service inspection the dealer mechanics reported the rear disk brakes were worn "almost metal to metal". I replaced the rear brake pads myself. The driver's side outside pad was worn almost to the metal but the other three pads were worn not much at all. I have photographs. The brakes worked fine before and after the pads were replaced. My son has the exact same year and type vehicle with similar mileage that exhibited the very same pad worn in a like manner.

My 2007 Hyundai Sonata GLS has defective rear brakes. I purchased the car in March 2008 and at 15,000 miles the brakes started squeeling. I took the car in to the dealer in September 2009 and was told the rear pads were frozen which was causing the squeeling. The dealer cleaned and adjusted the rear breaks. In June 2011, when stopping at a red light, the rear brakes suddenly started to stick and make noise as if metal was rubbing on metal. This really concerned me since I had my family with two children in the car. This happened with the car having 36,000 miles on it. I went on-line and googled to see if anyone else had this type of experience. I noted hundreds of similar complaints. Car experts mentioned this is an engineering design fault, which Hyundai has failed to responsibility for. I called the dealership to schedule an inspection and asked the service representative if they had encounterd similar issues with other customers. He said he was not aware of this brake issue. I had a hard time believing him since this issue appears to be a common occurance with many Hyundai Sonata GLS owners. Could this be a Hyundai money earning scam? hyundi needs to recall these cars due to the serious safety issues due to the faulty rear brake design! satety! safety! safety! I hope something gets done!.

7-09 rear brake pads frozen to carriers: cleaned and replaced pads at 11, 488 miles. 10-09 rear right wheel not spinning freely: clean and adjust rear brake assembly at 14,978 miles. 3-11 back brake rotors and pads needed to be replaced at 30,625 miles. There is something wrong with either the design of the brake system or the materials that are used for the brake assembly. I've driven cars in the new england area for 28 years having lived in the same area all 28 years, and haven't had this much trouble with the cars I've had.

Rear driver size pads and rotors had to be replace when the car only had 14k miles. Rear pads and rotors have to be replaced every 5-6 months. The brakes were burning and smoking. Dealer says its normal wear and tear. Took car to another repair shop and was told this is not normal and brake pads and rotors should not have to be repaired every 5-6 months, the braking system is faulty and if not repaired it could cause the brakes to fail.

Heard squealing and grinding coming from rear brakes. Replaced pads and lubricated pins, now 6/2013 hear the same noise again and this time premature wear of the pads and rotors are warped and falling apart. Also lug nuts are rusted and swollen (this at 45000) just under 14000 after last replacement. I will be taking it to a certified mechanic so the dealership cannot triple charge for work and tell me it is my fault. We'll see how long this repair lasts. Also had the car in for bouncing in the front. . . Had tires rotated and rebalanced and still does it periodically the dealer said nothing wrong with the front end.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Sonata GLS. The contact stated that the left rear brakes were grinding abnormally. The dealer informed the contact that the brakes were worn and would need to be replaced. The dealer replaced both rear brakes and pads. The current mileage was 30,279 and the failure mileage was 29,000. Updated 03/31/lj updated 04/05/11.

No failure occurred. The problem was detected before failure. I had the brakes checked at just under 45,600 miles expecting to have the brake pads replace. Inspection showed that the rear brake rotors were made of defective metal which corroded and pitted badly. It destroyed the outer part of the brake pads so they did not make contact with the rotor. Less than one half of the brake pad was providing braking ability. The rotors had to be replaced on the rear wheels as well as all brake pads on all 4 wheels. The brake pad replacement is expected maintenance. The rear wheel rotors were defective parts.

Rear brake pads are prematurely worn out on 2007 Hyundai Sonata GLS compared to front brake pads. Rear brake pads essentially went to 99% worn out in matter of 4 months while front brake pads were minimally worn during this time period and are still around 50%. Internet discussion boards are full of this type of events with this car model's rear brake system suddenly wearing out brake pads. This is a huge safety issue that Hyundai refuses to do a recall on.

At 10k miles rear brake rotors were glazed from sticking brake pads; rotors were machined and brake pads replaced. At 26. 8k miles the rear brakes were "metal to metal" and brake pads completely worn due to drivers side brake pad being seized into rotors (dealers language). Dealer attributed brake failure to increased corrosion due to our maine location. None of the other vehicles we have had exhibited these problems. This is a safety issue in that I have been operating the car for an indeterminate time with no rear brakes. The defect was discovered during a normal tire rotation. I suspect Hyundai encourages tire rotation at every service interval in order to have an opportunity to examine rear brakes.

After having brake pads changed. Smelled burning smell with in a month and brake pads were worn down. Had pads changed again. Now, month later, smelled burning smell again like the pads are sticking. There is something wrong with these brakes that they are sticking like this under 50,000 miles.

Started hearing noise from rear brakes. Found left rear outside pad was worn to the metal and ruined the rotor. All remaining pads have 50% or better remaining on the linings. The worn pad was stuck tight to the anti rattle clip. I replaced the rear pads, clips and left side rotor.

I bought my 2006 Hyundai Sonata lx in new hampshire brand new. I lived there until June 2009 and moved to virginia. I needed the brakes looked at as they were pulsating and squealing at 45k miles. Upon complete inspection at the mechanics it was apparent that the rear brake pads have completely rusted through and need replacement. This has been reported by numerous owners of the same car on the internet as an ongoing issue.

Began hearing a dragging noise in the rear of the car and thought something was dragging underneath looked and saw nothing. Got home and noticed that there was significantly more brake dust on the passenger rear hubcap than all the others. After further inspection it appears that the pad is completely worn because the brake is locking and then not releasing when it should. I have done quite a bit of research and noticed that many other people have had very similar complaints about this model year and malfunction. The common trend is low mileage so this is not a driver issue. This will ultimately result in the replacing of the brake pads and rotors at the very least. The car is currently with the dealership so they can tell us everything that is wrong.

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. While driving approximately 20-25 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and noticed a very loud rubbing sound, like metal to metal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but there were no repairs performed. The vehicle was taken to a local repair shop where the contact was told to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer polished the drumbs and reset the brake pads but the failure occurred again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer at least eight times and the dealer polished the drums and reset the pads on each visit. The vehicle had not been repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileae was approximately 14,000 and the current mileage was approximately 18,500.

The contact owns a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. While driving at a speeds of 20 mph, the rear brakes failed causing the brake pads to fracture and separate from the vehicle. The calipers were rubbing into the rotors, causing it to make an unusual grinding noise. The front brakes were not affected, allowing the contact to bring the vehicle to a stop. The brakes and rotors were replaced by an authorized dealer. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Recently brought my 2008 Hyundai Sonata in for a free inspection by my dealer. My brakes were inspected and my rear brakes were found to be 70% worn and the pads, etc. . . Were frozen resulting in premature wear!!! my front brakes are only 50% worn. My service manager said that this is typical for Hyundai Sonatas of this year but no financial remedy came from my dealer. I had to pay to have my brakes "unfrozen" and was told that within the next 3 months I will need to have new rear brakes put on. Of note, my car only has 24,000 miles and my rear brakes should not have worn out this soon and certainly not before my front brakes. Hyundai needs to get on the ball here and issue some type of recall. This is a major safety issue - I have a child that rides in this car constantly.

My 2007 Sonata had only 18,000 miles on it when the rear brakes kept squeaking & locking up. This wore the pads down and they had to be replaced. I was told this happened because the sliders were rusting up and stopped working. I argued with Hyundai that this was not normal and they said it depended on the driver. I am 65 years old had many vehicles, and have never rode the brakes, nor changed my driving habits. Now I have the problem again at 28,000 miles and my brakes are actually burning at times. The smell is terrible. I feel that this is a defect and also a safety hazard. My car bucks at times and I think that I may have to replace the rear brakes again. I am afraid to drive the car right now. I can't afford to fix the brakes again at this time. Please advise.
