I am pretty sure the rusting is covered under warranty.As for the brakes take it to a brake shop and find out.If its the master cylinder,its probably covered.If its the pads,shoes or wear and tear items then probably not.

Thanks! Actually they are stains like rusts. I already scratch most of the stains with my nails.
The brake is fine now. I had it checked today. The technician suggested that it might be due to the extra pad.

The Vibe is supossed to be a cheaper version to the Matrix. They have the same engine as does Corolla. Where I'm from, the Vibe is actually a Toyota Voltz and is priced a little less than the Matrix. I think the matrix looks better, but both are very reliable cars of course. As we all know Toyota is tops for reliability....

The rust around the sides of the car/rims is caused by brake dust sticking to the side of the car/ rims. This is a minor problem just take it to your dealership and they will buff the marks off.
