Description of the problem	During routine oil change at dealer, mechanic said the rear brakes were rusted so bad that they had to be replaced. Given the fact that the car was bought new and only driven 1300 miles in two years it was assumed that the repair was covered under warranty; but no, brakes aren't covered. Car was taken to another shop, they confirmed the rear brake parts were badly rusted and were causing the brakes to drag. It seems that the rear rotors are made of an inferior material that is prone to rusting in snow belt states were lots of salt is used in the winter.
