Glad I found this thread! My wife has a 2007 Santa Fe GLS AWD with 16k miles. I smelled a burning smell when she pulled into the garage one day. Pinpointed it as coming from the rear driver's side wheel, but it went away soon after. She's now started complaining about it squealing when she's driving (after letting off the break & moving forward). Was just getting ready to take it into the dealer when I saw this thread. Hopefully it will give me some leverage to get the parts replaced under warranty.

my 07 santa fe started around 18k with the screetching noise. the dealer says the factory requires a caliper service as part of the 15k service. they charged $80 for the caliper service and the noise is gone. stated that they removed accumulated rust and clean and re-lube the cailper parts and hardware/shields. never had this problem with other hyundais i owned , either elantras or sonatas.

| Just started with the 07 Santa Fe screeching about 5 days ago and already, the rotor has been cut into on the rear driver's side wheel. I will update you with the outcome. I had my car state inspected in January at the same dealer and, prior to that, my car was fine. Now at 42k mi. I already have a brand new transmission and will see what they do about the brake problem. I loved my 03 Santa Fe and never had a single problem with it. | |
| Initially, the service dept. at the dealership thought it was the emergency brake hanging up but upon doing the $89 brake service and test driving the car, the squealing continued and they brought it back into the shop. The left rear rotor was 350+ degrees as compared to 150 degrees for the right. So they ordered the caliper and was told that there is a problem with the left rear brake calipers and to send the part back to Hyundai. All was covered by warranty. I am going to contact Hyundai with a complaint about the vehicle. My service dept. is top notch though, and it will be noted as such. | |

| Same problem, different day. I have a 2007 Santa Fe AWD with just 11,700 miles. The right rear wheel becomes extremely HOT, and, of course, you can smell the burning odor in the air. I will take it to the dealer this next week, and see, what we will see? If it is not covered by the warrantee-I will be extremely HOT. I know there is a TSB (08-BR-002) posted on the hmaservice.com website, however, this problem is referred to as a”squeaking noise” from the rear wheels. I think, this may be one and the same problem. Now, whether the dealer will think so, I’ll find out next week. | |

As predicted, the dealership performed the TSB 08-BR-002 that is described on the hmaservice.com website, to resolve the over heating problem. The brake pads were stuck against the rotor do to corrosion on the caliper & pads- these, as I was told, were cleaned, greased, and ALL parts reused. They would NOT cover it under the warrantee. At just 11,700 miles and 18 months of ownership, there is NO way I should be stuck with this $79.48 bill. I filed a complaint, with the dealership, Hyundai of America and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The dealership just simply said that unless it is a RECALL item, Hyundai, and apparently the dealership, will NOT cover the expense. Although, it was below the 12,000 mile limit on the warrantee, I was over the 12 month limit by 6 months. So, I guess, until there is some serious accident because of this problem, or enough people complain, there will be NO RECALL! So, ALL Santa Fe owners keep an eye and nose on guard for this potential problem!!!
