I had to stop moderately hard at 50 mph and when i did my brakes made a loud grinding noise and vibrated very rough. I found out there was a hyundai tsb campaign for the brakes issued december 2012 and that they should have been replaced by the dealer before the car was sold but the dealership (key hyundai in jacksonville, fl) neglected to replace the defective pads. *tr

Notes this might be the first time i had this type of suspension. Car does not feel safe on interstate.…

Brakes grind (sounds like metal on metal contact) if applied going over 20mph in all weather conditions however it is worse when the brakes are applied on a bumpy road. Dealer has not made any serious attempts to fix issue except telling me it was the humidity and putting lube on brakes which did not work. *tr

I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have not been able to fix it.
