binding disks and pads, should warranty cover this?

[Jamie _Swales]

Some of my mates think it should be covered under warranty because there must be a problem with seized caliper

Should this be covered?

whats the mileage? the pads worn to the extent that the disc is cathcing them and they aint releasing freely into the caliper?

 

[Jamie _Swales]

im not sure

Its on 16500 miles but have been binding for a while i think

 

[rory182]

well mine reached 70% worn by 24k miles and started to drag a bit, get a little binding when reversing.

so i bought some new pads today.

get them cleaned and copper slipped, see if it helps?

I'd give up trying to agrue with a garage some dealershipos may be willing to help.
You can just do it yourself its not difficult.
