Brake rotors replaced and brake pads replaced, even though brake pads replaced in April. Brake dust shields are all corroded and rear-right dust shield scrapes the brake rotor (heard while driving especially on hot days). All brake dust shields need to be replaced. The bolts are so rusted on it will take me a lot of time to remove them, so haven't yet. Emergency brake assembly had a lot of corrosion, unable to replace the emergency brake pads and accessories at the time.
