Description of the problem	On july 1, 2014 the rear caliper on the driver's side of my car had seized, stripping the brakes to metal on metal. On august 30, 2014, the rear caliper on the passenger side of the car followed suit. Less than one year later i have replaced each of the rear calipers once again. I had the rear driver's side repaired on may 15, 2015, and the rear passenger side on june 9, 2015. I bought the car with just over 53,000 miles on it in 2013. Today, it has 101,000 miles on it and i have replaced four calipers, three rotors and five sets of brake pads. Each time my calipers failed i was placed in danger of total brake failure and fire, unknowingly. The mechanics who worked on my car have individually theorized that an engineering failure is the cause of this issue. Last week i contacted hyundai for financial reimbursement for the repairs. The company stated that they could not reimburse me since the parts were not replaced with hyundai factory parts, or repaired by a hyundai certified dealership. I am aware that there was a class action lawsuit against hyundai based on this issue in the state of new york. I have also read, and heard about many other people having this exact problem (rear caliper problem) in their hyundai sonatas, built between the years 2006-2010.
