“I recently took my 05 Hyundai Tiburon into the zimbrick Hyundai dealership in madison wi for service. I am having alignment issues with my vehicle and have had them since I purchased the vehicle. I discovered from the dealership that there is a common problem with the emergency brake system which can cause the rear brakes to lock up while driving. They stated they have worked on 7 or 8 recently where they had to replace the assembly. I see no recalls or TSB's on this issue and it is a serious safety issue that should be addressed. …”

I have since found that there has been a recall, but when I contact Hyundai, they state that my car doesn't fall into that recall. …”
