2002 Hyundai Accent SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

ON BOTH 9/27/2004 AND 1/13/2006 THE REAR BRAKE CYLINDERS AND SHOES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF LEAKING FROM THE CYLINDER. ON THE SECOND OCCASION, MECHANICS AT DOUG'S LYNNWOOD MAZDA/HYUNDAI DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM ON THE ORIGINAL VISIT (12/2/2005), AND I HAD TO BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION IN ORDER TO GET IT FIXED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING BRAKE PAD FELL OFF. THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT. VEHICLE HAD VERY LOW MILEAGE ON IT.*AK

BRAKES FAILED AT 9000 MILES CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. FRONT BRAKES WERE IN A METAL TO METAL CONDITION. PADS ON FRONT DISC BRAKES HAVE NEED REPLACEMENT EVERY 8000 MILES SINCE THIS INCIDENT. THE ROTOTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE.*AK

WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY DIDN'T HOLD, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK

WHEN STOPPED, IF YOU NEED TO HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, SUCH AS ON A HILL, PEDAL SINKS SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR. IT IS WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP.*AK

CONSUMER STATEED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOWLY SINK TO THE FLOOR. *TT

A "CLUNKING" NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DURING APPLICATION OF BRAKES. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED BRAKE DRUMS WERE NOT ROUNDED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. FOUR DAYS LATER, VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED. CRASH OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 5, 2001 WHEN VEHICLE REAR-ENDED A STOPPED CAR WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 MPH. *AK *TT
