...after one and a half months the brakes started rubbing again. What could the problem be? Why is it such an elusive problem that the dealership can't fix it right the first time?

Irregardless of the cause, most reputable dealers warranty the repairs they do for at least 12 months or 12,000 miles. Take it back to them. If they try to sell you more parts, ask why there past repair did not fix the problem?

How many miles on the vehicle? I would take it to another Hyundai Dealer in your area it doesn't sound like the first one fixed it properly for it to be happening again so soon. Also could be a problem with the ABS brake sensors if the vehicle is equipped with them seeing it is an Accent i would guess it isn't. I'm no expert but I took my Tiburon back to dealer where I bought it once for something simple and the service manager started sounding like a politician so took it to another local dealer instead and have been quite happy with them.
Plus if you have a credit card always use it to pay for your service that way if you are not pleased with the service you received from the Dealer and they start giving you a runaround you can dispute the charge with Visa and they will automatically dismiss the charge until it is resolved to your satisfaction. And lastly, save all your receipts!

Rubbing sound? By that do you mean a squeek?
Could be the brand of brake linings they are using is the problem.
take it somewhere else and specify somthing other than genuine parts, maybe have the drums and rotors machined as well, dealerships don't do that.

give the dealership a break, are u a mechanic, do u know what it entails to diagnose and fix cars. sometimes u can find the problem straight away and other times it will take feedback from the customer. maybe it was a **** mechanic who worked on ur car, and if that's the case he should be talked too, but if it was a problem that Hyundai knows about it will be rectified, customers like you really **** mechanics off. no wonder your car is not fixed
