I own a 2003 hyundai santa fe (v6 2.7l 4 wd). My issue has a long history. Once the brakes get warmed up (usually in stop and go traffic) and i begin to coast the brake pedal will shudder and i hear a low roaring or rubbing sound from the right front tire. The noise will stop if i depress the brake pedal - even just a little. This goes from a mild issue to a big problem - the vibration and noise was serious enough…

I drive a 2003 hyundai santa fe 3.5l v6. On thursday, march 2, 2006, i was driving slowly down a steep, snowy hill in my neighborhood. When i applied the brakes to slow the car in order to maintain control in the snow, the brake pedal kicked back and the brakes would not engage completely. They felt as though there was a mass of something solid blocking the pedal from depressing all the way. I pressed harder on the…

Since the purchase of my vehicle, i have experience problems with the abs system, similar to those included in the recall of the 3.5l santa fe's. I know that recalls are vin specific, but i feel that hyundai and nhtsa should look into recalling the 2.7l lx santa fe also. My concern is that when stopping the abs will intermittently activate causing the braking distance to increase. When it activates, there is a…

At approx 13,000 miles i noticed a horrible grinding noise while applying brakes at hwy speeds. At first the noise was only present at hwy speeds but then after a couple hundred miles began to appear at all speeds. Dealer stated that a pin fell out causing a caliper to freeze thus causing my brake pads to completely wear out! Metal on metal...no brakes and the dealer refused to give me a loaner! Just one of many…

On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.5 liter v-6 engines, 4-wheel drive and antilock braking systems (abs), if the brake pedal is depressed at speeds between 3 and 12 mph when the brake pad friction surfaces are wet, a vibration may occur between the brake discs and pads, causing abs sensor electronic signal noise to develop. At…
