AFAIK, most of the first released Gen 1 tucson has this brake pads problem as they were KDM parts where Korea has colder enviroment while we got so hot climate here in Pinas, as usual 1st releases of manufactures (similar to ipods, ipad and iphones), there always needs for improvements so the following year's sets of deliveries like mine were of pads that can stand our climate already...as of today I never got majpr issues except for minor tightenings during PMS'- a regular maint. action items.

So if you are looking for an affordable, fuel efficient, roomy, comfortable and stylish interior compact SUV, Tucson has all these. The design is sophisticated, futuristic but realistic. Tucson is a good value and has the unexpected power.
