A solution to the premature brake pad problem on a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. Yearly I have had to do maintenance on the rear brake pads to keep them from sticking, overheating and wearing out prematurely. This is a big problem with this car. Even though I do yearly maintence, I still have had to replaced the pads twice. The last time I replaced the rear pads I figured out the problem. The rust is building up under the metal clips the pads sit on and causing the pads to bind and not release. I took a dremel and a metal file and removed the rust, reassembled the brake pads and they moved smoothly. I should have put something on the metal to keep it from rusting so I do not have to do the yearly maintenance. Next time.
