Ok so I'm confused.

Some one please clarify this for me, I just checked my car's service info and it is telling me that I have 15000 miles on my rear pads and 27000 miles on my front pads. I don't push my car at all. Does that mean that at 15K miles my pads will needs replacing, or does it mean that I have to get them changed in 15k miles? Someone please clarify.

I don't go for any "spirited driving" or any of that stuff. Can anyone clarify why I would need new pads so early?

Rear pads went out before the fonts on my car also. I think it's because of the fact the car uses the rear brakes a lot. DSC uses them, hill start assist, cruise control, and probably more. Couple that with regular braking since you don't brake hard you use the rear brakes a lot.
