problem #2

Nov 182003

Elantra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 13,794 miles
The contact stated there was a thumping noise coming from the brakes. This occurred after driving the vehicle for a while. The vehicle has been to the dealership three times. The first time they replaced the cylinder, turned the rear drums, and rounded out the letter. The second and third times the dealership rounded out the letter again. This was a temporary solution, and the noise came back every time the vehicle was repaired. Updated 02/07/06.

Brakes engage unevenly causing the rear end of car to swing to the left on snow or slippery conditions. This causes lost of control. Dealer looked at car during servicing and said they could find no problems with brakes.
