2010 Subaru FORESTER Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model Year	2010
File date	05/11/12
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My brakes were checked by my regular mechanic/repair shop @ 21,788 miles. They indicated that i had 70% left on both front and rear units. When i took my car in for an oil change and check up @ 24,870 miles the same shop indicated that while my front brakes still had 65% left on them the rear units had only 15% left. They recommended that i replace the rear disc brake pads, which i did. I am not hard on my brakes and don't understand why the rear brakes should wear out so quickly over such a short period of time. I also do not understand why there should be such a great difference in the wear between the front and rear brakes. I notice that two other people have complained about needing early rear brake replacements on 2010 foresters. I have never had to replace brakes on any other car i owned after so few miles. My shop is aaa approved and highly rated in my community and are very trustworthy. This should not happen and should be looked into.
