Description of the problem	My 2007 hyundai sonata gls has defective rear brakes. I purchased the car in march 2008 and at 15,000 miles the brakes started squealing. I took the car in to the dealer in september 2009 and was told the rear pads were frozen which was causing the squealing. The dealer cleaned and adjusted the rear breaks. In june 2011, when stopping at a red light, the rear brakes suddenly started to stick and make noise as if metal was rubbing on metal. This really concerned me since i had my family with two children in the car. This happened with the car having 36,000 miles on it. I went on-line and googled to see if anyone else had this type of experience. I noted hundreds of similar complaints. Car experts mentioned this is an engineering design fault, which hyundai has failed to responsibility for. I called the dealership to schedule an inspection and asked the service representative if they had encountered similar issues with other customers. He said he was not aware of this brake issue. I had a hard time believing him since this issue appears to be a common occurrence with many hyundai sonata gls owners. Could this be a hyundai money earning scam? Hyundai needs to recall these cars due to the serious safety issues due to the faulty rear brake design! Safety! Safety! Safety! I hope something gets done!
