Default Jeep Liberty Brake Issues, strange.

So, unknown to me, apparently vehicles with traction control can eat rear brakes faster than fronts. Of all the 4wd vehicles I have owned with traction control, never have I seen this.
But I am beimg told it is normal. Really. Can someone explain?. I call BS and think Jeep has issues to habe this happen.

Who knows if it's "normal" or not, but I can tell you that my '07 Wrangler Rubicon went through them too...about 30K and they were done. Fronts were inexplicably fine for more than double that mileage. Probably the same brakes as the liberty, but I dont' konw for sure. But they're so easy to change, it's like $50 or less for the pads...so i don't really care.
