I have had to replace the control arm 3 times, (2/2013, 4/2014, 3/2015) and about to do it a 4th time (2019). It goes bad after about 20,000 miles and affects the alignment which causes the tires to wear incorrectly. Brand new tires are get worn down on the inside edge and is not visible. This causes a safety issue. My relatively new tire blew out on the highway and nearly caused a crash. I've spent $3000 in repairs and estimate another $1000 in tires that had to be replaced prematurely. I will fill one of these out for each of the incidents described above.

2007 hyundai santa fe ~36,000 miles. Rear brakes completely replaced in may 2010. While driving on highway, loud grinding brake noise heard from rear of vehicle. Large amounts of 'brake dust' on rim of rear driver's side wheel. Brought vehicle to dealer for inspection. Determined caliper was seized up due to rust. They will not remedy via warranty b/c they determine that it is an environmental issue. (salt/road debris buildup). New brake pads/rotors were damaged as a result. This has to be a safety issue as the rim of the wheel got extremely hot during use. Could this eventually lead to a tire blow out while driving? Not sure!? Searching online results in a lot of consumer complaints on blog/car sites. Same problem everytime: rear driver's side caliper is stuck resulting in damage to rotors and pads.
