I had my front brakes done on my 2005 Santa Fe 3.5L last month at my local mechanic. Since then the brakes have been making a grinding noise at low speed (like backing down my steep driveway), and I notice a bad odor from the front of the car after driving.
The brakes stop the car just fine, and the rotors look OK. Could it be the pad composition is not right for my car?
I know if I ask, my mechanic will change out the pads. What type of pads should be used on my Santy?
