Brakes were sticking somewhat so they had to be reworked. Rear brakes -- disassembled, cleaned brake contact points and grease slider pins and contact points.

Rear brakes: unusual wear pattern to the pads - inner pad on passenger side was worn down to metal surface; outer pad on the driver side was nearly completely worn thru. The other 2 pads were OK! Replaced with Akebono rotors and pads. Calipers very rusted. They were bead blasted and painted with rust resistant paint. Flush and bleed entire brake system. Btw, the front pads are little worn!

Brakes sometimes required a lot of extra force to stop. Cause: Brake vacuum pump hose switch worked intermittently. No code was set. No car message warning came up. Mechanic said I should not drive the car until it was repaired. Replaced brake system vacuum switch assembly. 
47000 mi Caliper became frozen due to failed seal and electronic parking brake could not release. Caliper replaced. 
10300 mi BLIS, DSTC and IPhone communication. Problem was resolved by reflash and upgrade of software... After software upgrade all systems worked perfectly....all is right with the world! 
8000 mi Rubbing sound coming from wheels solved with adjustment.
