Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing brake sticking issues even after replacing worn pads and rotors, which can be attributed to several underlying factors. These owners have found that faulty or sticking brake calipers may cause the brakes to stick, highlighting the importance of inspecting this component thoroughly. Additionally, some have noted that failing flexible brake lines can lead to similar problems, as they may malfunction internally, acting like a one-way valve. Low or contaminated brake fluid has also been reported to affect brake performance, necessitating checks on fluid levels and quality. If the sticking issue persists despite these measures, some owners recommend seeking a second opinion from a different dealership or trusted mechanic for a comprehensive inspection of the entire braking system to identify the root cause effectively.
