Brake problems

Hey guys, my 2015 RX3 with about 6500 miles is having brake problems. First was the surging front brake. After doing a few things that Gerry @ CSC suggested I'm convinced it's a warped disc. I requested a replacement weeks ago buy have not received it. More recently, the rear brake has been acting up. First it locked completely as I was coming to a stop. After dragging the bike to the side of the road I pried the pads apart with a screwdriver and all seemed OK. Since then it has failed to completely release on several occasions and toasted the pads. Gerry suggested replacing the fluid and new pads. I also removed, cleaned, and inspected the caliper. I also put some dry lube around the piston cup. A week and 300 mile later and no recurrence of the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? I commute on the bike so it sees pavement almost exclusively.
Thanks, Mike
