2010 HYUNDAI SONATA Complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BRAKES ARE BURNING THROUGH BRAKE PADS. THE CALIPERS ARE WORKING SMOOTHLY BUT FOR UNKNOWN REASON THEY ARE STICKING. THE FRONT BAKES ARE FINE BUT THE REAR SET HAS GONE THROUGH 2 SETS OF BRAKE PADS IN LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA EQUIPPED WITH HANKOOK OPTIMO H426 TIRES, SIZE P215/55R-17 DOT (5MBLELH4008). THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES HAD LOW PRESSURE AND THE SIDEWALLS WERE SPLIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED BY THE OWNER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000. UPDATED 3/20/13 *CN

WE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE PADS IN JUNE 2012 AND NOW IN JANUARY 2013 HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR DIVER SIDE PAD STICKING. THE FRONT PADS WERE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. THESE ARE HYUNDAI OEM BRAKES. I HAVE BEEN READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT REAR BRAKE ISSUES ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE IN NEW YORK OVER THIS SAME ISSUE. I WANTED TO MAKE A REPORT AND POSSIBLY FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY PLANS FOR AN INVESTIGATION. HYUNDAI DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY PLANS TO RECALL SINCE THE ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE EXISTED SINCE 2006. THIS IS FAR FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND AT THE COST OF THE PURPOSED (BY HYUNDAI SERVICE) PERIODIC REMOVAL, CLEANING, AND LUBING OF THE BRAKE PADS I CANNOT SEE THIS A NON ISSUE. THAT IS NOT TO MENTION THE DANGER OF POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE. *TR

HYUNDAI SONATA 2010 V6 SEDAN ROLLS BACKWARDS ON INCLINE WHEN IN DRIVE. BASICALLY GOES INTO FREEFALL IN TIME IT TAKES TO PUT FOOT FROM BRAKE TO ACCELERATOR. ALSO STEERING IS VERY SWIMMY. TEND TO OVER OR UNDER STEER AND LOTS OF SWAY IN CHASIS WHEN TURNING OR CHANGING LANES AT HIGH SPEEDS ON FREEWAY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND TOLD IT IS THE WAY IT IS DESIGNED. SOUNDS FLAWED TO ME. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 HYUNDAI SONATA WITH 10K MILES ON IT THE END OF MARCH 2011. THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE HANKOOK OPTIMO H 426. AFTER I HAD PUT LESS THAN 10K ADDITIONAL MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAD ONE OF THE TIRES BULGE AND IMPLODE FROM WITHIN. WITHIN THE MONTH FOLLOWING THIS 2 MORE TIRES BULGED ON THE SIDEWALL AND WERE REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE ALL IN DIFFERENT SPOTS ON MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS. NEITHER THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP NOR HANKOOK TIRES WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE TIRES. *TR
