Rear brake pads have started wearing at the rate of 1 set per 15k miles. The original set was replaced at about 82k miles. Now at 109k miles and have gone through 2 complete sets of pads and rotors since the original. Switched back to all Toyota parts as the shop was not able to find anything actually wrong with the brake system. It could be a brake proportioning issue.
