My 2007 Santa Fe is locking up , feels like from the back end, a nasty grinding noise, then it kicks up. Al the brakes are good and new, any help would be appreciated.

First is this a awd vehicle ? If so the rear coupler on rear diff is locking up and has a solenoid that controls lock up . It may need whole coupler unit to correct issue which is common or normal to perform , Hyundai has service bulletins on this condition IF it is AWD !

    Thank you for the info. Do you know where the solenoid would be situated plz ?

It sounds like a bad bearing. Either a wheel bearing or differential bearing if it is all wheel drive.

you may have damaged the ABS sensor or wire to the sensor up front check the wire that runs from the inner finder well and make sure it connected to the ABS sensor on the spindle

Could be low on oil, trans doesnt have fluid, wheel bearings are gone, or could be something stuck under the vehicle and either the tires or the drive axle is rubbing against it.

Loud rear whine, not brakes new ones fitted

Was noise there prior to brake replacement? If so, possible wheel bearing noise. Noise should get louder the faster the wheel rotates with a bearing problem.

2004 Hyundai Santa Fe? squeaky noise frnt driver side wheel

I do think the same way. If the pads look flat and not so worn have the rotor turned to eliminate the squeaksyou are encountering

Grinding noise from front right. rotors seem okay and I can turn the rotor with ease. Is it the wheel bearing?

Does it happen all the time or when brakes are applied? Usally a bad bearing will cause a growling noise. I would check both the brake pads on the right side. Often the inner pad will wear off, then you have metal against metal, causing a grinding noise.

dear friend-yes you are right your problem is brake related,one of the calipers must have seized,it will be best if you strip all four clean and lubricate al the pins.

Sporadic shriking noise when in motion at lower

Either a brake pad or the fan belts !
Lube the fan belts with candel wax or silicone spray, if the same noise, it is a brake pad !!

Power locks with a mind of their own!

Sounds like a wiring/switch issue. I would have your dealer take a look at it to see if there are any problems with any of the switches, or the wiring.
