I did a test drive today (more than 20 min) and when I checked the rims, the temperature was the same on all 4 of them and no strange smell was present. However, I suspect there is something wrong with the front brakes as they make a strange noise while braking suddenly from very low speeds to a standstill. This noise is noticeable only when the car brakes while passing nearby a big obstacle or another car or a building, where the air is restricted. Inside the cabin I can hear something like grinding (I don't know how to describe it better).
