Hyundai Santa Fe 2016: Are there any known problems with the brakes?

Our 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe SR, which is eight months old and has done 15,000 km, is fitted with the Brembo brakes and it already needs new rotors and pads. We have never towed and the wife doesn't drive or brake hard. Have you heard of this happening to any other SR Santa Fe?

We haven’t heard of a problem with the brakes, but to need new rotors and pads at 15,000 km is ridiculous. Take it to your dealer and ask them to consult Hyundai to get an explanation. Although brakes are not covered by the warranty I would be asking for the company to replace the rotors and pads at no expense to you, and to justify why they needed replacing at such low kilometres.
