You need to be careful with the dealer regarding brakes. I told the dealer mine were shot and he originally told my wife "no they're fine". I took the car in myself and said I wanted a senior tech to pull the wheels and check, sure enough the caliper was stuck. This was not noticed because the brake sensor is only on one side of the car. So, if the other side has an unusual issue it isn't recognized.
