WHEN BRAKING THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMED "SOFT" AND AFTER ABOUT 40 MILES OF DRIVING IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD REACHED HOME BY THEN. THERE WERE DROPS OF FLUID ON THE PAVEMENT AFTER I BACKED IN AND PARKED.I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND INSPECTION REVEALED THAT NOT ONLY BOTH BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED THROUGH, BUT, THE FUEL LINES HAD ALSO RUSTED THROUGH AND WERE LEAKING.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GRINDING OF THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2013 ELANTRA COUPE FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND NOW IT IS 15 MONTHS LATER AND 12653 MILES LATER AND 5 TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED, 1ST THEY SAID THEY TURNED THE ROTORS, 2ND THEY SAID THEY BALANCED THE WHEELS, 3RD THEY SAID THEY ALIGNED THE FRONT END, 4TH THEY SAID IT WAS A DUST PLATE, AND 5TH THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER THEY SAID HYUNDAI HAD MADE NEW SOFTER PADS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I SENT AN E-MAIL TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CONNECT CENTER CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER. ..UPDATED 04-16-14 *BF
