Description of the problem	My 2007 hyundai sante fe was experiencing brake overheating from drivers side rear brake and mild heating with passenger side rear brakes. At 28k miles i had to take it to the dealer for this situation. The brakes had failed very prematurely due to this condition. The dealer resurfaced the rotors and cleaned and lubed the brake slides, and replaced the overheated damaged pads to the tune of $389. I was advised that they were not covered under the 3yr 36k mile bumper to bumper warranty as there was an exception to this for the brakes, they were only 1 yr 12k for the warranty as i am in a "severe" operating zone in upstate ny. I have checked many other forums on this subject and have found many others to be experiencing this same premature failure with the brakes and almost always it is the drivers side rear caliper that fails. I feel this is a design problem and a severe safety problem as the brakes almost caused a fire with my vehicle. This has been going on for quite a while and has not been addressed by hyundai america. I placed a complaint with them and was told that basically there was nothing they could do about it. I do not have the old parts as they said they disposed of them prior to my arrival. I have always serviced my vehicle myself according to manufacturer recommendations and no where does it state the brakes need to be lubricated.
