I bought my 2001 Hyundai Sonata less than 2 years ago. Since that time I have had to replace both window motors, front and rear brakes, timing belt and all tires. I would have thought that a brand new car would be trouble-free (that's why I chose Hyundai, because of the great warranty) however, it appears that is not the case. My car recently broke down on my way home from work, had to be towed and was in for repair for a week (timing belt), which was a huge inconvenience and expense for me. I am now looking for a suitable trade-in for my Hyundai and would not recommend one to friends and family members.

The brakes on this vehicle have squealed since the first few months after I bought the car. I had learned to live with it. I keep my windows up and radio on so I can't hear them squeal. Lately, though, they have become louder and more constant. I haven't gone to the dealer with a new complaint, because they assured the last 2 times I complained that there was nothing wrong and "that's just Hyundai brakes. They'll stop you, but they are loud!" whatever, surely there is something that can be done. I have friends with other types of Hyundai's and their brakes don't do this. Mr.

The brakes make an extremely loud screeching sound, mainly when breaking. It is loud enough to attract quite a bit of attention. It scares pedestrians and other vehicles. It sounds similar to the warning sound made by worn brakes. We have made complaints to the dealer on 6 separate occasions. They said that they have glazed our brakes and replaced our brake pads and that the problem cannot be fixed. They advised us that all Hyundais do this because of government regulations on the content of brake pads. I've also called the Hyundai customer service number and they also told me that nothing can be done and that this is normal. The brakes make a noise that sounds like they need to be replaced- they can't be safe. It is very stressful driving a vehicle with brakes that sound like they could quit at any time. Mr.
