I bought my car used and noticed that it needs rear pads. While checking the car maintenance history found that the previous owner replaced the rear pads and rotors twice and the calipers once and I need now to replace again the rotors and pads so it will be the third time. While the front pads and rotors once was changed once and they still look good.
I replaced the rear pads and rotors myself. Rear passenger side was worn and driver side was good. While changing pads on passenger side I couldn't push the pads in place at all. I had to file the ears of the pads and also the caliper bracket. After installing them I get a little smoke and the rotor warms up. Seems that I need to service that side again and file a little more of the ears and brackets.
I found that all Sonatas have the same problem and people keep replacing pads and rotors. Seems it is a design manufacturing problem with the caliper bracket. You will need to file the ears of the pads and the bracket to overcome the problem. Some people mentioned that this problem is fixed with the new replacement parts available in market now.
Hyundai Should take a step forward to fix the problem.
