While driving on the expressway the rear brakes seized. When I parked the car the rear brakes were omitting a foul odor and the rear wheel rims were scalding hot to the touch. I took the vehicle in to the dealership who said the springs in the caliper stuck requiring new brake pads, the discs to be machined and a lubrication of all internal components. The dealership stated it is a maintenance issue despite being solely maintained by the dealership and there is no notice in the owners manual or service as to lubricating the internal brake components.
