Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2004 mazda 3 is experiencing greatly accelerated rear brake pad and rotor wear, both requiring replacement by 32k miles. this is at least 3x faster wear than normal. front brakes show little wear and look to last up to 100k miles. dealership says this is normal, independent repair shops say not. many '04 and '05 mazda 3 owners are reporting the same problem. could this problem be the result of improper front/rear brake bias or defective parts/materials? could this situation lead to improper/unsafe braking performance under certain conditions? *nm
