There could be a mechanical problem, or it could be just cheap inferior pads. I've seen several sets of pads wear out in 10K - 20K miles. In all cases, they were the cheapest pads available installed by a budget muffler & brake house. I once made the mistake of buying the cheapest pads I could get from O'Rielly's for my wife's Explorer. They lasted for less than a year of in-town driving. I replaced them with the best quality NAPA pads and never had another issue.Brian
