Description of the problem	At 23,486 miles, i took my car to my local and very reputable garage that specializes in subarus. Once they got my car in the shop, they told me i was not going anywhere as the car was dangerous. It was towed to st. J. Subaru where i purchased the car. The left rear pad was missing and the caliper had been hitting on the rotor and ruin the caliper. At that initial repair, the subaru service person said: "we've had some premature wear with the back brakes for some reason." 20,000 miles later, the same thing has happened again and the dealer gave the party line... To bad, warranty up. It appears there is some manufacturer defect with the brakes. Please look into this right away as i cannot afford to replace brakes every 20,000 miles. Thank you.
