Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe

My 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe will randomly apply the brakes while driving. Very dangerous. The brakes will apply making the car pull to the right or left may cause the car to veer into the next lane. I would need to press on the brakes to make them release. The first time this happened I thought it was the brake pads needing to be replaced we replaced the brakes and the problem did not occur again for maybe a year. It happen so much in 2011& 2012 I did not feel safe driving the car. I took my car to hardin Hyundai 6/09/12 explained in detail that the brakes would apply when I was driving, and the esc light was coming on. I told the dealership that we had changed the brake pads hoping this would resolve the issue it did not. The dealer recommended 3 tires, alignment and pins were missing when we did the brake job and that was causing the brakes to stick. We did what was suggested. This did not correct the problem. The dealership did not put it on the computer to diagnosis the issue. The car is out of warranty now so I took it to an independent mechanic he did diagnosis it with the computer. The esc module is bad. Now I a¿¿m driving with the esc off. When driving with the esc off it doesn'¿¿t randomly brake but will sometimes make a horrible grinding sound and the brakes stick when the brakes are applied. This is not good either. Why require this safety feature in every car if it will fail and cause an accident and if the dealership can not diagnosis it correctly. Some Hyundais have been recalled for this problem so I feel the dealerships should be well aware of this issue. The work order does not mention brakes nor did they try to diagnosis it correctly. Was this an intentional move by Hyundai so they do not have to acknowledge that their esc modules are still failing. I feel extremely lucky that I have not been injured due to this malfunction. Hyundai failed on this issue.

I have a 2007 Santa Fe with 33k miles, on which the rear right brakes wore through "metal to metal" and I was told the other side was just as bad & needed to be replaced. This seemed to be incredible short lifespan so I did some online research and see numerous complaints of the exact same problem. The front brakes have 60% life remaining according to the dealer. Hyundai said this was normal wear, and it was not covered under warranty. I think its a safety hazard as there was no warning until the brakes were crunching metal to metal and completely gone. They had to replace rotors and pads, at an astronomical $480! but as I'd had the vehicle towed in and live in a remote area, it would have cost me as much to tow it elsewhere and get it fixed.
