I have a manual 2003 hyundai elantra gt which runs great except for an intermittent problem I have experienced 3 times in the last 2 weeks. When I star the car cold sometimes the ABS will stay lit up along with the TCS on the dashboard. There is no way to turn either feature off. I notice the car is moving from neutral to first very sluggishly and hear the squealing of the back brake on the rear passenger side as I drive. The car moves and the brakes work fine but it is clear that the one side of the brakes has been held down while I drive. When I got out and inspected it the one side was very hot to the touch. After about 15 mins. or so the problem goes away.
A separate but probably related issue, yesterday I started up and while driving I noticed the tire on the rear passenger side was squeaking with an increase in pitch based on my speed, the squeak went away when I stopped.
1) Any idea what the brake problem is (have any of you ever experinced this).
2) How about the squeal, what are the possible causes.
I know that I can take it to a dealer so please spare me the obvious.
Hyundai guru I hope you read this.
