About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Our 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe keeps having brake problems - seizing, uneven wear of pads, etc. The dealership replaces the pads which continue to wear out or wear very unevenly every few thousand miles (approx 5,000). Our understanding from an independent mechanic we hired is that the calipers and the slider brackets are poorly machined (edmonds also reports the same problems); these are the real reason the brake pads wear unevenly and constantly needing replacing every few thousand miles. Please consider a recall of all of these cars. Other model years are already under recall.
