BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY, NOTICED BRAKE DUST SMELL COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. UPON INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LINKAGE WAS STICKING IN THE "ON" POSITION WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER WAS RELEASED. AT THE SAME TIME EXPERIENCED A SMALL PULL TO THE LEFT AND A NOTICEABLE LOSS IN M.P.G. A TRIP TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS STICKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY FOR THE "DEFECTIVE" DRIVERS SIDE AND IT WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE REPAIR HAPPENED IN MARCH AND SEEMED…

VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO FIFTH GEAR WHEN PASSING BUT DOES NOT RETURN TO SIXTH GEAR UPON RELEASING ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE CONTINUES AT SAME RATE OF SPEED WHEN RELEASING ACCELERATOR AS IF IT WERE ON CRUISE CONTROL. WHILE PASSING AN 18 WHEELER ON HWY 169 NORTH, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER 18 WHEELER APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET IN FRONT OF THE ONE I WAS PASSING.

I DROVE MORE A LITTLE MORE OVER THE WEEKEND AND NOTICED THE SMELL AGAIN, PLUS ACCORDING TO THE CAR'S MPG READOUT ON THE TRIP COMPUTER, THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS MUCH LOWER THAN USUAL BY 5-10 MPG. ON MONDAY, 9/10, TWO DAYS AFTER FIRST NOTICING THE SMELL AND PARKING BRAKE ISSUE BUT NOT REALIZING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, I DROVE …
