Left caliper burned and froze, digging into the rotor; right caliper on the verge of doing so. The car had passed rigorous equipment inspection just 3 months before with no warning of impending equipment failure. Car is under extended warranty; dealer said that only the cost of the calipers would be covered. Had car repaired at a local shop that guarantees its work, both parts and labor.
