Hyundai: Brake Calipers 2003 Sonata

There certainly could be an issue with the brakes causing your symptom, but
the suggested remedy sounds suspect. I was going to say that I thought it
was more incompetence than rip-off, then I saw your mileage and age of
vehicle. The calipers are warranted (at least in the U.S.) under the
bumper to bumper warranty. If there's an issue with the caliper, it
should be warrantable (unless you somehow physically damaged them, which I
can't imagine in 10kkm). How 'bout they tell you specifically what the
issue is and which component has the problem. If they can't do that, I
hope you have another dealer nearby. I'd certainly start taking my
maintenance work elsewhere where I knew the facility was honest and
competent.

Thanks for the info --I'm going to ask them to be more specific on
which component is at fault. And I'm going to look into the warrantee
issue. I just thought it was ridiculous that they'd be asking for
money to fix a brand new car, as if the cost of regular servicing
under my lease wasn't enough. It was certainly driving fine before
they messed with it. And actually, it was doing pretty good today.

As for dealers... the only other one in my city is one that I KNOW is
not honest. (They were selling new Sonatas with knock-off tires
instead of the standard Michelins, as if they switched them before
putting them on the lot.)

Thanks for your help.
