Description of the problem	I have a 2009 hyundai sonata and a grinding noise started coming from the back passenger side while i was driving the car. I took it to the hyundai dealer and they said my brakes and rotors needed to be replaced. I purchased the car used, a little over a year ago, from the dealer with about 13,000 miles. It now has 37,000 miles, the majority being highway miles. I took my car to another car repair shop because the price i was quoted from the dealer seemed unreasonably high. The place i took my car to told me that while inspecting the car they noticed that the passenger side caliber was stuck and that they were able to unstick it. The mechanic said he would need to replace the passenger side rotor and the brake pads. He said i should think about replacing the calipers. I asked why they would go bad this soon. He said it could be a defect, that there has been a defect reported with the hyundai santa fe calipers. I asked him if this is something that should be covered under my car warranty. He said i should check with the dealer. From everything i've read on the internet the calipers should not go bad this soon. If they do, they cause the very problems i am having. I contacted the dealer and told him what the other mechanic found in regard to the caliper. He told me there was nothing wrong with the caliper when they looked at it. The funny thing is that the price the dealer quoted me to repair just my brakes and rotors is the same price the other mechanic quoted me to repair the rotor, brakes and calipers. I am having just the brakes and rotors done at this time since according to the dealer there is no problem with the calipers. If they are not telling me the truth, i will be having this brake problem again.
