The Edmunds Maintenance Guide says to inspect the rear brakes every 30,000 miles.
Maybe the owner's manual is different up there (the Guide get the maintenance from the manual).

K, I live in Canada and I have a 2008 Santa-Fe. I did all the maintenance steps, 1,2,3,1,2, etc... Last month I spent over $600 to have my rotors replaced as there was a rusting problem with the calipers. My car went through one winter and was only slightly older than one year with a little over 30,000 kilometers. Apparently it is because of the salt and all brands of cars have this problem. Interesting, I owned Nissan and Mazda and never had such a problem, it is the reason I buy new cars, pay the maintenance and avoid the surprise costs. I think Hyundai has a design or a material defect and are not taking responsibility. In the long run they will loose. It is already starting, my daughter likes the Elantra but is thinking twice about going ahead.

Interesting... I have an '07 Sonata and posted similar brake problems on the Sonata thread. Many similar comments. The recommended brake service mentioned costs $130 (USD) at my dealer. That means >$10/month just to keep brakes working? That's crazy. My dealer performed this service and ground more clearance into the pad slides and put a heat resistant lube on it. The brakes work but are very noisy as you can hear the pads move. The service dept said I should be glad the parts are moving.
I like the Sonata and had been considering a Santa Fe until reading this thread. I doubt I'll buy another Hyundai mostly because the manufacturer won't own up to (and therefore take steps to solve) their problem which, by the way, is prevalent in Kias, too.

SDB1 for K. My left rear caliper seized on a trip to Virginia. Had to replace rear pads and have rotors ground while there. I have driven 10000k since and now seized again. No salt yet on roads. Why a repeat now?

My 2007 SantaFe had a sqealing brake issue also. The dealer wanted me to spend $150.00 to have it serviced (30,000 miles). I took it to a local service station and he "oiled" the springs that control the calipers and all is fine. He said it is common in a salt/snow area like upstate New York. 5000 miles later and still no more problem.
