Brake Disc Caliper Problems of Hyundai Tucson

The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving on wet pavement, he attempted to make a left turn and the vehicle failed to turn to the left. She was finally able to drive the vehicle home. The rotors were inspected by the owner and there were grooves in them and the brake pads were worn out. The right rear brake had also locked up. The dealership admitted being aware of a problem with the calipers. The dealer advised the failure was not covered under warranty. Hound was contacted and offered to repair it as a good will repair, which was done. The dealer stated that if it happened again the repairs would be at the owners expense. The problem has not recurred since the repairs were done. The failure and current mileage was 28,474.

Third Hyundai my husband and I have owned and on all three the rear brakes have been sticking, heating up and eating up the brakes. Had the dealership do a brake inspection per Hyundai's request, which the report shows the wear shows that it is not normal wear. Spoke to the women handling the case that was opened. The reply from Hyundai was that the brakes were not under warranty (which I knew) and that at 7,000 mile the car should have been brought in for the caliper maintenance. This tell me that Hyundai is not greasing the calipers during manufacturing and is up to the consumer to pay. I will never suggest to anyone to buy a Hyundai. As far as I am concerned it is a safety hazard and consumers should not have to pay for a manufacturing defect. Also please not this problem has happened to all three of the Hyundai's my family has owned.

Rusting of brakes 2006 Tucson. Began as a slight sound as if piece of gravel in one rear brake. Suddenly, while on a trip, became much worse. Had to repeatedly bang caliper with hammer to release. It. When taken to shop found rusted out brake rotors (4) and frozen caliper (1) on 2004 Hyundai Tucson with 23,000 miles. Same washing routine as on all my previous cars. I am now almost 70 years old and have owned, and still own, many cars. I have never seen such rapid deterioration in any other vehicle. Many of them date from the 1970's and 80's. Unfortunately I did not keep the failed rotors. The calipers were rebuilt. All undercarriage structures are inadequately prepared for rust resistance.
