“1994 Hyundai Excel. Consumer writes in regards to misinformation concerning vehicle brakes and tire tread depth. The consumer stated one of the tires had a leak, the spark plugs, drive belts and wheel bearing needed to be replaced. The vehicle would not start on several occasions, until finally the battery was replaced. Within a couple of months, the consumer began hearing a grinding sound upon stopping. Upon inspection, it was determined the right rear brake was worn down to the metal and the wheel cylinder was leaking braking fluid. …”
