Atos brake pedal feedback
Summary of the thread
A 2013 Hyundai Atos owner is experiencing strange brake pedal feedback and suspects undervoltage as a potential cause of worn-out brakes. Another individual with a similar issue suggests checking the brake fluid level, rotors, and calipers, as they experienced grinding noises and uneven braking due to worn rotors and sticking calipers. The advice is to consult a workshop for a thorough inspection, as undervoltage was identified as the main issue in a similar case.

The pedal feedback is quite unsettling. You mention the rotors and calipers; were there any specific indicators beyond the unusual pedal feel that pointed to those components? Did you notice any noises or uneven braking performance?

Yes, absolutely. There was this nasty grinding noise when braking, especially at lower speeds, and the car would pull to one side sometimes. It got worse over a short period, that's why I took it to the workshop. They told me that the rotors and metal brakes were gone. But in the end, the undervoltage was the main reason for the issue.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. It seems prudent to consult a workshop, as you suggest. I appreciate you sharing your experience; it will undoubtedly aid in a more informed discussion with the mechanics. The eventual repair cost amounted to 240€. Your insights have been invaluable.

Whoa, Atos user! I had the same issue some time ago, it's really frustrating. The pedal feel went totally weird, right? Did you check the brake fluid level and the state of your brake rotors? Mine were totally shot and the calipers were sticking a bit, causing uneven wear. I was close to just throwing in the towel.
