Description of the problem	Rear brake problem in a 2007 hyundai sante fe vehicle with 29k mileage. Left rear brake caliper sticks intermittently causing high pitch squealing/scraping noise and hot wheel hub. Multiple other customers report the same issue on website forum @hyundai sante fe carspace automotive forum. Many with much lower mileage claims. My dealer inspected and said nothing could be found wrong. Root cause analysis points to rear brake caliper assembly rusts from salt corrosion and causes the caliper to stick on the brake while driving with foot off the brake. Problem resurfaced 50 days later. Waiting for my appointment to have dealer look at the issue readdress the problem. Hyundai technical safety bulletin 08-br-002 dated 12/2008 calls for cleaning and greasing the pad contact surface of the caliper carrier to rectify the cause. This does not address the root cause of material defect of rusting on rear brake calipers.
