Rear brake calipers seized, needed replacement. Excess rust, material appears defective. Also cause of rear brake pad replacement.
My wife's Is 250 was taken in for it's 40,000 mi. Oil change. She received a call that the rear brakes needed new rotors, pads and calipers. I called an was told that the rear brakes were not working at all because the calipers were frozen. I was also told strangely enough that the rotors were rusted and had a ridge on them and could not be machined despite the calipers being frozen. One probable cause I was told was because the car had low miles on it. It gets driven every day about 20-30 miles. According to them my wife was driving around in a car with no rear brakes. I have yet to receive a satisfactory answer from the dealer about why this could happen>.
