Helpful Websites About 2007 Honda Accord rear brakes wear out before front

I leased a 2007 Honda Accord. It has only 23K miles on it and when I took it to the shop for its scheduled maintenance, they told me that my rear brakes were gone and needed to be replaced. Cost = $179. The most annoying thing is that I am a really "gentle" driver- I don't drive fast, don't brake suddenly, nothing... But I need new brakes. At 23K miles. Seriously?!

Grinding in rear brakes started a few days ago. I purchased and replaced pads myself today. They were toast. I only see one other complaint for bad rear brakes on 2007 Accords but many for the 2008 model (which is new) so perhaps my pads came from the same batch as the early '08? Rear pads should last much longer than front (which I also replaced but were less than half worn) so this is obviously a design flaw. There was a lot of corrosion back there which may explain why these pads failed so soon. I am a little disappointed with Honda in the case but overall it's been a good car so far.

Since when do rear brakes wear out before front brakes? The dealership says that in order to decrease the weight of the vehicle, they use less metal in the pads and rotors, thus they wear out quicker.
I think this is ridiculous!
