Then it's sticky. You've got rust on the piston. Time for a rebuild, or
replacement with remanufactured calipers.

They're sticky, trust me.

Maybe they just put some silcone grease on the pistons and worked them in-
and-out a bit. That can temporarily reduce the stickiness.

But don't you have to take it back to the dealer you bought it from to
get warranty service, even if that means towing it across the country"
(For those noobs, this was a very old, tiresome and, eventually,
fruitless thread with an idiot that thought that the dealer warranted
the car, but that the company sold it to you. I think Tegger gave up
on the fool before I did. So Tegger is much smarter than me. Trust
him.)

You've never seen my wife parallel park. Door dings I can live with.
Headlights, marker lights, tail liights, bumper covers. Ouch!!!
