Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing braking issues, including loud grinding noises when braking at speeds between 60-80 km/h, which may indicate brake problems. Additionally, those who have experienced impact damage to the front driver-side of the vehicle often note a decline in braking performance and similar grinding noises, particularly if the brakes were new at the time of the incident. Owners are advised to have their brakes inspected by a professional to check for issues with the rotors or brake pads. Some also report hearing a clicking sound when applying the brakes, which could signal potential problems. Furthermore, issues with the rear drums have been noted as contributing factors to braking performance concerns. To ensure safety and efficiency, it is crucial for owners to seek a thorough inspection from a qualified mechanic to address any underlying issues with the braking system.
