Description of the problem	The car now has 75k. I have needed to replace the rear pads three times and rear rotors twice. In addition, rear brakes have required "friction religning" at least annually, often twice per year. No matter how often these maintenance procedures are needed the emergency or parking brake, which i use each time i park the car, often does not release easily or fully. If i reverse up to about 8-10 mph and slam the brakes, when the dragging sound and sensation do not quickly abate, this seemed to seat the pads and or calipers. In the past week, in fact, the rear driver's brake assembly, aluminum wheel and components become very, very hot... Have not needed to drive more than a mile or two at any time, but the dealer can not get me in until next week... I am unable to get around at all if need leave the car for extended time... It was when online seeking a temporary means by which i might try to adjust the caliper for the time being, that i found many, many forums and discussions of the deficiencies of the rear brakes in sonatas... I did call hyundai, they issued a case number and they would look at whatever... *js
