2009 Hyundai SANTA FE Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1009111
Internal NHTSA #	10542362
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor Company
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SANTA FE
Model Year	2009
File date	02/09/13
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At 32,000 mile the rear driver's side wheel smelled hot, brake dust residue visible and squealing coming from this driver's side rear wheel. Found that the driver's side rear outside brake pad was worn down to metal. Driver's side inside pad and passenger rear pads, both inside and out were fine with hardly any wear on them.. Hyundai dealer said it is normal for rear disc pad to wear this uneven and for caliper's to stick on causing this. I feel this is a defect in either design or quality of parts as other santa fe owners are also experiencing this at even lower mileage. Dealer wants you to pay $60 to have your disc brakes cleaned and adjusted (what is there to adjust?) why do only hyundai santa fe brakes need this unheard of service? Why is it only occurring on the driver's side for me and other owners? Disc brakes should not act this way.
