Your brakes play a significant part in your safety, the safety of your passengers, and other road users. Keeping your car's brake system in good working order is crucial to give you the stopping power when you need it most. The following signs will warn you when to get a brake repair from your Fort Smith, AR, Hyundai dealership before it's too late. 1. Squealing and Squeaking Sounds When your brake pads are wearing thin, you will hear high-pitched squealing and squeaking sounds when you step on the brakes. A built-in wear indicator causes these noises. The small metal bar makes high-pitched noises to warn you that the pads are getting thin. When you hear these sounds, make an appointment at your dealership for a brake pad replacement. 2. Thin Brake Pads If you think your brake pads are thin and worn, take a look. If the brake pads are anything less than a quarter of an inch thick, it's best to replace them as soon as possible. Please don't wait for them to wear down even more to avoid damage to the rotors. 3. Grinding Sounds It starts with the high-pitched squealing sounds but soon changes into horrible grinding noises if you don't heed the warning from the wear indicator bars. If you didn't replace your brake pads, they are now so thin that the bare metal is scraping against the rotors. It's best to attend to this problem as soon as possible because it is causing damage to the rotors. 4. Vibrations When you feel vibrations when you step on the brake pedal, you need a brake service from your Hyundai technician asap. The vibrations that you can feel through the brake pedal are due to the uneven wear of your brake pads caused by warped rotors. more 5. Slow Brake Response When you apply the brakes and your car is slow to respond, it's a sure sign that you need a brake service. Slow brake response could be due to worn brake pads or low brake fluid. 6. Car Pulls to the Side Brake pads wear down at different rates, and because one side might wear down faster than the other, your car will pull to the left or right when you step on the brake pedal. Dirty brake fluid could also cause brake pads to wear down unevenly. 7. Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Light The parking brake and brake fluid light will go on if the parking brake is engaged. If your vehicle's brake fluid is low, it will also trigger the warning light. If the light goes off after you disengage the parking brake, check your brake fluid and top it off to the correct level. Also, check under your car for leaks. 8. Brake Fluid Leak A brake fluid leak is a serious issue that needs attention immediately. You have a brake fluid leak if you notice yellowish or brownish puddles under your car. The leak could also trigger the parking brake and brake fluid warning light. For your safety, don't ignore the warning light. Ask your Hyundai technician to fix the problem immediately. With regular Hyundai maintenance at the factory recommended intervals, your vehicle's brake system will not let you down. Contact Crain Hyundai of Fort Smith today for an expert brake system inspection performed by highly qualified and knowledgeable Hyundai technicians to ensure your safety on the road.   Image via Hyundai.

This is more than enough for your daily driving, and it's plenty for those exciting, fast-paced journeys on the highway, too. 2. It Provides High Value In Its Base Trim The Hyundai Kona's price is incredibly fair for the number of features that every trim, including the base trim, offers. There's a vast array of standard amenities on all trims, including the SE base trim. Some of the pleasant features you get with the base trim include driver assistance features, stylish alloy wheels, and a large 7-inch touchscreen intuitive infotainment system. Many competitors don't offer wheels quite this stylish, and some only offer driver assistance features on their higher trims. You get all of the features above and more in the Hyundai Kona SE, and it comes in at a reasonable price that's under $22,000. more 3. A Stylish Exterior Power and performance are important, but it's nice to know that your vehicle is turning a few heads while you're driving, too. Almost all of the Kona's trims have two-tone exterior coloring. This makes it stand out from many competitor SUVs, and that's an appealing feature for a buyer who loves a beautiful vehicle. The Kona also boasts a delightful combination of boldness and chicness; the grille is strong and bold, but the vehicle's base and the trim around the wheels are chic and sleek. 4. Lots of Space Inside The Kona is much roomier than you'd expect for such a compact vehicle. All passengers will be nicely accommodated with plenty of leg and headroom. Even back-row passengers won't feel cramped or squashed, and that's a feat that many competitor vehicles have yet to achieve. Higher trims offer further comfort through heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. 5. The Infotainment Appeals The Kona's infotainment system is easy to use. There's almost no learning curve to it thanks to the detailed graphics and labels. It has all of the features you'd expect, such as Apple Carplay, Android Auto for easy connectivity. You can access all of your favorite smartphone apps through the infotainment system. Higher trims offer wireless smartphone charging and a larger infotainment screen.

Pricing It's pretty great, actually. The Tucson starts at just under $25k, but with extra features can go up to a little over $33k. This still makes it one of the most affordable SUVs on the market. Many of its best features come standard, making even the lowest cost option well worth it, and it's all upgrades from there.
