My brakes are squeaking loudly and grinding terribly however every time I go to the dealear for this they can never seem to duplicate the problem. I keep taking in to cover myself for the simple fact that if my front end falls to the ground as the vehicle sounds as if though it will I can have documents from the dealer that never seem to duplicate the problem. What other steps can I take in getting this resolved the dealer has told me that's normal for a hyundai I love my car other than that I'm paying for a 2001 it should not sound as if I'm driving a hooptie everytime I pull up to a stop sign.

'm asking for a letter stating that the ABS braking system will be activated no matter if one, two, three,or all four wheels go through a small puddle. It does not say it in the manual. The reason I'm asking is my son was involved in a car accident ,which the right front and right rear tires passed through a small puddle. The ABS braking system was then activated. The road was dry except for this small puddle.my son traveling behind another car , when he noticed that the driver in front of him was taking a right. My son then proceeded to apply pressure to the brakes but he could not stop. A small puddle from melting snow and ice had accummilated the night before,caused me to slide. Fearing that he might hit the car in front of him , he tried to go over the curb. The driver in front of him was making a right hand turn. My son slid into the right side of the car anyway. The puddle caused him to keep moving and the ABS braking system created pressure on the brakes so he could not press them down all the way. The next day I went through a small puddle on purpose to see if it would happen to me and it did. It causes you not to have full control. You don"t expect it when the rest of the road is dry. I'm looking for a letter stating that the ABS braking system will be activated no matter if one, two, three ,or four wheels pass through a puddle. It is not mentioned in the manual thank you.
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.
Front brake vibration. Rotors have been turned 5 times and replaced once . Vibration reoccurs every 7-10000 miles
When the brakes were applied the vehicle vibrated, the dealer replaced the rotors which were warped.
The vehicle stalled, which caused the vehicle to abruptly pull. *jb there was a vibration when the vehicle was stopped at high speeds(due to warped rotors), a tap noise was coming from the timing belt, and the vehicle would die at the speed of 60 MPH. The timing belt, the broken counter balance, and the missing timing belt teeth were replaced.
Consumer states while driving the vehicle and applied the brakes there was a noise due to a faulty caliper. Dealer has inspected on several ocassions, change rotors pads but unable to correct the problem. Please provide further information.
The rotrs on the vehicle warped prematurely. The dealer has been contacted. *mr
Consumer says that he and his wife started having problems with the brakes. The brakes were squealing very loud. Consumer says there was somewhat a knocking or something loose within. Also the consumer had vehicle repaired but two days later the noise returned.
While applying brakes for a stop light vehicle suddenly accelerated was force vehicle into an intersection, and get involved in a frontal collision with an ongong vehicle. Dealer and manufacuerer were not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further infromation.
Dealership states brakes are normal. They said all hyundai car brakes makes noise; worked on air bag light - stated it was on due to someone giving a jump in my car, light came back on 3 days later; changed a switch which was causing no acceralation, car still not getting the acceration it should. Now I'm getting some humming noise from the dashboard somewhere. I have had this car 8 month. It is a lemon and jacobs twin continues to put a band-aid on a patient bleeding to death.
While driving at any speed during normal operation vehicle fails to start, problem is intermittent. Dealer has examined vehicle numerous times, and failed to remedy problem. *ak engine light illuminated and then vehicle began havinb problems with no power, stalling, and making noises, dealer replaced the purge control valve, however problem till continues. Brakes feel low to the floor. Center AC vents and right passenger vent broke, dealer replaced. Dealer adjusted drive belts due to being noisy.
