2008 Hyundai Sonata 4dr Sedan
234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 72520 mi C $115 |
Partial, both rear wheel seizure due rusty backing plates, lack or no maintenance of the parking brake shoe assemblies and poor adjustments made by a local shop 2 years ago. This had resulted in poor fuel economy and lack of engine power. Common problem. |
| 92380 mi C $2000 |
Catastrophic loss of brake hydraulic pressure due to a rusted brake line at the rear of the vehicle near the fuel tank that ruptured. Needed new brake lines through-out and new fuel lines in the area where the rotted out brake lines located. Rear brake pads worn-out. Replaced pads and rotors. While the car was on the hoist I showed the Technician about the calipers seizing-up and that this has been a long time problem. Many reports about rear brakes on theses cars. |
| 65000 mi | After ball joint was replaced, noise was still audible. My mechanic test drove car and confirmed noise. Inspected rear part of car and found that the bolt bushings on both rear rotors need replacement. Waiting for dealer to approve. |

| 101300 mi | replaced right rear caliper (3rd one on the car) this one was covered under warranty. Googled problem & found massive issues with Hyundia Sonata rear brake calipers, sounds like a design flaw, although Hyundia denies it. |
