Whilst driving down the road I noticed that the car wasn't acting quite right. There was a weird noise coming from the back of the car and it felt like it was pulling to the left. I stopped the car to make sure I wasn't running low on tire pressure and continued on the way. About 10 km into my drive I touched my brakes to slow down at the bottom of the hill and my rear left tire locked up skidding about 15 feet, until I safely got the car stopped.
I called Hyundai roadside assistance and had the car towed to the nearest dealer. The dealer was unable to look at the car until the following Monday. Once the dealer looked at the car they informed me that both rear calipers were seized and required replacement. Fortunately the replacement was covered under warranty because I was receiving regular brake maintenance at the dealer.
On a side note; the tow truck driver that was sent from roadside assistance dropped the light bar on the roof of my car causing a dent, and adding to my aggravation of being stuck on the side of the road, however they agreed to pay for the damage.
