Hyundai ix35 2011: Excessive brake wear
Answered by Graham Smith · 16 Nov 2012

Brake wear is an issue that crops up regularly with most makes, not only Hyundai. It's a fact of life that brakes wear out much faster than they once did, and it's down to a number of things, like the removal of asbestos from brake linings, softer disc material, the introduction of ABS braking etc, heavier traffic, more traffic lights etc. They all contribute.

Answered by Graham Smith · 07 Sep 2012

We checked with Hyundai and their advice was to follow the service booklet as it is produced with specific recommendations for this market, whereas the owner's manual is a generic publication for many markets around the world. The shorter period is definitely the one to use.

Answered by Graham Smith · 21 Sep 2012

I'm guessing you will want the problem fixed under warranty, so you will have to go to a Hyundai dealership. Go to a big dealership, which should be able to do the job for you, or if you are not confident call Hyundai and ask for a list of dealers who can do it for you.

Answered by Graham Smith · 29 Sep 2012

We have had a number of similar reports on Hyundai vehicles, and it seems it is the antenna that's the problem. Talk to your dealer and ask that he fit a new antenna.

Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 21 Sep 2012

We have had another Hyundai owner contact us with the same problem, and Hyundai, to its credit, eventually fixed the problem by fitting another antenna. Go back to your dealer and ask that they do the same for you.
