Description of the problem	In february of 2015, less than 2 months after i purchased this vehicle used, i noticed the left rear tire was screeching when in motion like a belt in the engine would. I took it to a hyundai dealership where they made me aware that the caliper had locked up and needed to be completely replaced & repaired along with a brand new rotor. I figured this was just a one time issue, until just this month (february of 2016) less than a year after repairing the caliper and brake system in the left rear tire, a strong burning smell was appearing periodically from the right rear tire after any drive. Took the car to the same hyundai dealership who made me aware that the caliper was now locked up in the right rear tire and needed to be completely replaced and repaired. In both circumstances i was told that the vehicle was absolutely unsafe to drive off their lot and had to get a rental car to leave the car for repairs. I did my research... Apparently this same make/model/year has given lots of people the same issues.. But no recall has been made. This is incredibly dangerous and in both circumstances i was driving the car with my car seat aged toddler in the back seat. Please help me get to the bottom of this!!
