Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“My ABS has been sticking and finally the pad broke off. my car made a squealing noise everytime I drove it. I had parked in my driveway and there was a piece of metal on the ground. I showed it to my son, he took the tire off and said it held my ABS Brake pad on to my Driver side rear. He is a master tech for Subaru. I just haven't had time to take it into Hyundai. It has stopped squealing, but my ABS brakes no longer work.”
“After I have to various amounts of weight in the rear of the vehicle, the vehicle rattles in the rear. Trying to stop said vehicle is very unstable. The left front of the vehicle dips when brakes are applied. And the rear of said vehicle makes a lot of noise.”
