I have a 2001 Sante fe V6 4wheel drive. I have replaced the brakes for corrosion so many time i have lost count. I have replaced the transmission. My vehicle sqeakes in the back while i drive. When I break sometime I have to pump my breaks to actually stop they begin grinding. Help I spend around a $1000 a year to inspect plus other maintance. I believe i may need a new thermostat now.

Do you drive a 2001 HYUNDAI SANTA FE?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
