2002 Hyundai Sonata brakes problems

Filed Aug 25, 2017 · Brakes · 55 miles · LA

I have a hyundai sonata. Its 2002 with 50,000 miles on it. The first time it gave me trouble, it was making a grinding sound while driving to work. The mechanic changed my caliber on one side of the car and replaced my hoses. Next month same sound started again. My mechanic changed the other caliber. Six months later. I started hearing that same sound and the brakes started locking. The mechanic didn't see anything wrong. Two weeks later, I lost my brakes while driving on interstate 10. I was able to coast to a stop without any incidents. I had my car towed to my mechanic.I was told I damaged the master cylinder. He put all new parts in my car (brake shoes,pads, calibers, master cylinder, etc.) and tested it. The next day while driving on I-10, it started locking up again. It has baffled my mechanic. My car is still in the shop. I have spent over $1500.00 on repairs of these brakes,not to mention the rental fees of cars for transportation. There must be an answer to what is causing my brakes to no function properly.

I was going straight on a little street when I stepped on the brakes... I felt the brake pad move out of place... And couldn't brake so I used the emergency brake to stop... But still don't know what to do...?

We had our vehicle warrantied for the rotten frame on our vehicle last year. At that point you would think hyundai would have warned us that our brake lines were swiss cheese just like our frame, these cars rot out, the entire vehicle is a death trap. The brake lines broke 3 times in the past 6 months after sections were already replaced. These vehicles need all the brake and fuel lines replaced immediately!!! This is not routine maintenance and should be recalled immediately!! The power steering line rotted out 5 years ago, this car was made out of really crappy metal. Dangerous vehicle. Everything on this vehicle is rotted out beyond what is normal, the wheels, the brake drums, everything on these vehicles rot to the point of swiss cheese. After 10 years these vehicles are very unsafe. Our vehicle only has 50,000 miles on it.

The brake lines from engine to the back of the car need to be replaced because one of the attachments (holding the brake lines in place underneath the car) got rusted and corrosion. Then it caused the brake line to get rusted and brake fluid started to leak pretty bad. Is it normal for the brake lines to get rusted?? Should I report to hyundai? The brake fluid reservoir went empty so quickly and I found the leaking spot. It squirts pretty bad when I apply the brake pedal. The leaking spot is underneath the car where the back seats are located. I need some advise before I start doing something. Thank you.

I was driving my vehicle under normal conditions on a major highway. Upon approaching an exit I applied the brakes to reduce my speed. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and consequently I engaged my emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The brake warning light did not come on until I brought the vehicle to a complete stop. No accident ensured as a result. I had my vehicle towed to a repair facility where repairs were made. Repairs consisted of a complete replacement of all brakes lines since they were all rusted and corroded. Old parts are not available. A few months prior to this incident all the power steering lines required replacement due to rust and corrosion. The complete exhaust system currently requires replacement due to rust and corrosion (system is leaking).

The contact brought car last october to dealer because the cv boot failed and it was replaced under warranty. Currently, the brake line and the cv boot failed, causing vehicle to hit a garage. The dealership said it looked as if the brake line came loose from where it was suppose to be, and it was not covered under warranty.
