The interior front disc pads constantly rub, grind and wear out on my Scion Xa 2006. I was told by a Toyota technician (there is a defect in the design of the front brakes) that if the brakes are inspected and I am told they have lots of wear left - they are not reporting the wear on the inner wheel pads because of a defect in design. This has caused I believe much brake fading during normal city freeway stop and go.
