problem #1

Sonata 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,100 miles
Had problems with the brakes for over a year now. Had both front brakes replaced costing about $200. They still squeak when turning the wheel, and sometimes when driving. Also, pant has completely come off the door handles, and there was rust on different spots of the car hood. I had the door handles replaced inside the car because the silver was peeling, causing us to cut our hands, but that didn't cost me anything.
