Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At approx 13,000 miles i noticed a horrible grinding noise while applying brakes at hwy speeds. at first the noise was only present at hwy speeds but then after a couple hundred miles began to appear at all speeds. dealer stated that a pin fell out causing a caliper to freeze thus causing my brake pads to completely wear out! metal on metal...no brakes and the dealer refused to give me a loaner! just one of many problems with my santa fe! i've complained in the past about the abs kicking in when not needed and the noises and vibration that it makes and was told that it was normal. now i'm not sure.*ak
