My brothers 6 month old Abarth has eaten its rear brake pads @ 18,000 miles for no apparent reason, the fronts are still fine.
I`ve never come across this in any car, usually you replace fronts 2-3 times before needing to do the rears, not the other way round.
Marylebone Fiat are saying there is no problem with the brakes so it isnt covered under warranty.
His previous 500 Sport didnt need rear shoes for 90,000+ miles, so he isnt in the habit of leaving the handbrake on or anything..
Anyone else had this?
