i had this too.. it is brake dust buildup.. go to the dealer and have them clean it and it will stop

I have the same problem. Are the rotors covered under warranty? I have an 07 sedan with 23K miles.

I agree with others. Check it yourself or get somebody to ceck it for you to make sure they not screwing with you.

i don't understand how all four had even wear, it was my understanding of the braking system that generally the front brakes did most of the work... is this not true?

That's true, however the "swept area" of the disc and "surface area" of each pad in the rear is engineered to compensate in that respect so wear rates are close to the same. Now I had a 97 Ford F-150 and when it had died with 300K+ on it, it had gone through 5 sets of front pads, yet had the same brake shoes in the back.

I just had my car serviced and they checked everything and said it was good. So what now?

Mine started squeaking at 17K, got the fronts replaced at around 25K. I will need to get new everything since I cant find any brake pads to fit on the stock crap except the same crappy pads I had on the first time.
