Brake Grinding Noise Problems of Hyundai Accent

When stopping abruptly, going at 15-20mph on a main street in stop and go traffic, no snow or rain, the brake pedal pushes back as if something is stopping the pedal from going down, it makes a loud grinding noise, and doesn't stop the car let alone slow it down. This has happened to me 3 times already, one resulting in an accident! I've only had this car for maybe 4 months and I don't feel safe at all.

I was travelling east bound on memphis avenue at approximately 35 mph approaching tiedeman road in brooklyn, ohio. I attempted to apply the brakes which gave a rubbing and grinding noise and caused my 2012 Hyundai Accent to rear end another vehicle resulting in a total loss to my vehicle. The air bags did not deploy and I was treated for contusions to my ribs, arms, stomach, shoulder and face as well as a sprain to my wrist. My vehicle sustained substantial damage and was a total loss, so why didn't the air bags deploy!!.

I was driving at approximately 65 mhp when I heard a sudden loud pop/noise that appeared to have come from the rear right side of the car. I thought a tire had exploded. I parked the car on the side of the highway, and upon expecting the car , I could not visually observe anything wrong with the tires or any other part of the car. Later on that day , as I was driving the car I began to hear some grinding noise every time I slowed down, turned or when softly applying my brakes. I called the dealership but they could not service my car until 4 days later so I contacted a mechanic that following day and he said that I needed rear brake pads and new rear rotors. The right rotor had been grinded away on the upper part and the left rotor showed signs of overheating. The mechanic ended replacing the rear rotors and rear brake pads. I use the car for commuting from work to home and viceversa (I drive 50% on the freeway/about miles each day) however it was noticed the front rotors and brake pads are still in good condition. Has anybody experienced similar brake/rotor with this car?.

I am a very cautious driver who is very easy on my brakes, to prevent wear. I could not stop in time when a vehicle in front of me suddenly stopped and had to turn, even though I had plenty of space to stop, I had to swerve in front of another vehicle because my brakes are worn down at 17k miles??? something is obviously wrong with the brakes in a 2012 Hyundai Accent. There needs to be a recall. Even if I floor the brake pedal I don't stop and hear grinding noises.

2006 Hyundai Accent right rear caliper on 6/6/2009 brake locked up new brakes and pad put on at midas winterhaven, FL with the manager advising that brake pads disintegrated and manufacturing defect suggested I contact Hyundai which I did. On 10/192009 right rear brake makes grinding noise I took the vehicle home on 10/20/2009 I take to midas tampa, FL they advise brakes into the rotors and the caliper is facing upward needs replaced and is manufacturing failure and to contact Hyundai and when I did call I was placed on hold for 20 minutes so I ended call. I contacted dealership butler Hyundai and service manager states it happens. My concern is this car 66,000 some odd miles the first time the brake locked up. This is a safety concern because the car is only 2006 and has sat idle while at work a minimum of 40 hs a week and most of the miles are highway miles not stopping and starting. This caliper is essential for safety of the road. Please review for recall on the item of Hyundai.
