| Description of the problem | I have a 2009 hyundai sonata with 45000 miles on it. The first time i replaced the pads in the rear at 10,000 miles . I have replaced the rear brake pads an additional 3 times and the front pads only once. I have been a mechanic and automotive technology instructor for over 45 years an never had a vehicle wear out rear brakes faster than the front ones without something major wrong with the system. I have checked the calipers and they are not dragging the pads against the rotors. The first time i reported the problem to the service manager he said this was normal, i don't think so! |
