Crosstrek replace rear brake pads AGAIN? My daughter living in Boston has a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek at approx 61,000 miles. Brakes squeaking and the dealer service dept telling her she needs new rear brake pads. Front are fine. They were previously replaced 2 years / 20K miles ago, plus rotors replaced at that time. What could be going on to wear rear brake pads so quickly? Is it climate or how she drives? Should she be using some specific kind of brake pad given history of fast wearing out? Can she go to any mechanic (recommendations?) or should she stay with the Subaru dealer?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Note -- the Crosstrek is 2013 (pull down menu didn't let me select 2013 year).

The rear pads are small. I would use the factory pads. My Forester's pads wore out at the same time (front and back) at around 80,000 miles. City driving and stop and go freeway driving is hard on brakes.
