| 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. | |||
