Description of the problem	While driving, driver's side rear wheel generating a screeching noise and a burning smell. Checked tire and both the tire and wheel rim were red hot. Took to hyundai dealer. Said calipers not sliding properly. They claim on santa fe's you have to bring them in for service (the calipers) every 10k or so, as the rear calipers have a tendency to freeze. I checked the internet, and there are numerous postings on hyundai santa fe owners having similar problems. Also an article in this week's hartford courant auto section of a consumer with a similar problem. If i had not pulled the car over and checked this out thoroughly, i could have had a blowout as the hot tire would have exploded. There may be a defect in santa fe calipers.
