There are small spots of rust all over the rear rotors.
The dealer here is trying to say its normal and will go away with time, but its not going to go away. The rust is top deep to be rubbed off from the break pads. This has been going on for months now. My breaks are loud most of the time.

My brake rotors rust almost immediately after getting wet. Not an issue.
One or two brisk stops seems to clean it all off.
Common to all cars with iron rotors (which means virtually all cars). I don't know why yours would be different.
