Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing brake shudder at highway speeds, particularly between 60 to 70 mph, which may indicate issues with the front brake pads and rotors. These vibrations during braking can be a sign of warped rotors or problems with the brake pads. To resolve the brake shuddering, it is recommended that owners replace worn or warped rotors and pads. Additionally, new brake components require a break-in period of 300 to 500 miles to ensure optimal performance, and sudden or hard braking should be avoided during this time. Therefore, it is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to have their front brake components inspected and replaced if necessary.
