calipers rusted calipers rusted

I asked the service KIA to replace the rear calipers of my Sportage because deeply and completely rusted. They didn't change because they said: it is normal!

I start to have a look to the rear calipers of other cars older than my KIA SPORTAGE. Most of them are not rusted!! I am really unhappy about the level of quality of KIA calipers and about their answer too!

I looked on the internet and I found that rust on the calipers could lock the brakes !!! This is highly dangerous but for KIA it is normal?
