Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rear brake pads are wearing prematurely and had to be replaced at 12500 miles. the dealer says this is typical of this model, and that they are to small. it costs $135 each time these have to be replaced. i believe this could be a safety issue since the rear brake pads could fail much at relativly low mileage.*ak
