Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing a brake stutter issue that persists even after brake and rotor replacement. This stutter sensation may be caused by improper brake pad installation, leading to brake pedal pulsation. Additionally, worn brake pads or a stuck foreign object can result in persistent grinding noises, despite the installation of new components. Some owners also note that snow, ice, or sand trapped between the pad and rotor can affect braking performance and cause grinding sounds that continue after replacement. If the problem remains unresolved, it is advisable to have a technician inspect the brake system for other potential causes, such as warped rotors or issues with wheel speed sensors. Testing the rear drums by engaging the parking brake while driving may also help determine the source of the vibration. Addressing the root cause of the brake stutter is crucial for ensuring the optimal performance and safety of the Hyundai Elantra, and seeking professional assistance for a thorough diagnosis is recommended if issues persist.
