problem #1

Jan 132006

Accent 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 38,701 miles
On both 9/27/2004 and 1/13/2006 the rear brake cylinders and shoes had to be replaced because of leaking from the cylinder. On the second occasion, mechanics at doug's lynnwood Mazda/Hyundai did not notice the problem on the original visit (12/2/2005), and I had to bring it to their attention in order to get it fixed.
