Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Both the front and rear brake pads on my car are wearing prematurely, and the rear brake pads are wearing more quickly than the front. my car has only 14,171 miles on it and i already have to replace the pads, i believe this to be a sign of either defective pads, or a manufacturer problem with the entire brake system. also, the dashboard warning light is failing to give the proper warning of the wear, thus place the driver at risk for additional component failure, and raising safety concerns. dt
