Brakes already!?!?

Hi everyone! So sorry for the lack of updates but it mostly because of lack of news. I decided to follow advice on this thread and get ahold of Toyota to kind of raise the level on this. After what everyone was saying it really didn't make sense and also the fact that I found my paper work from the pervious service inspection on the car and the brakes were perfect. Perfect to bad in around six months?
After calling Toyota they got ahold of my dealership who had me bring the car in after speaking to the manager of the service department. All along I told them that it was not really the issue of replacing the brakes but what had caused this? They kept the car for two days and gave me a loaner. Now supposedly they are going to send me more detail in email, which I will share on here, but for some unknown reason and as best as they can tell the rotors started rusting about 2 or 3 months ago. The rust coming down caused the other parts to stick that caused the wear on the brakes. This happened on all four brakes, but not as bad on the right back and front brakes but there was still damage. They replaced everything and they are sending the parts back to Toyota for evaluation. I hope this helps others, because perhaps there are defective rotors on other people's vehicles as well. They also checked the car bumper to bumper to make sure everything else was well before the 36K is up (it still has less then 34 on it currently).
I am really grateful to all of you for your insight and advice. Thank you everyone.

 

I didn't get any pics because they came to get my car and traded me a loaner. I was never there when the wheels were off. If there are any pics I will share when/if I get the email from them.

 

I did actually notice a jutting sensation when applying the brakes at a good speed (like when someone who pulled out in front of me while I was going about 50mph). I do think there was something going on with them but they feel better and I didn't notice that feeling when I did a little test brake after picking the car back up. I'm going to follow up if I don't hear anything and I still have an open case with Toyota about the car so if they don't reply I can follow up. I didn't end up needing to pay anything and my car is behaving again so I am happy. I am also still really grateful because I would have just replaced the brakes and been out the money if you all had not given me the helpful input. So whether a scam or a real situation I feel like I came out ahead thanks to you guys.

Nope, I live in Ohio and no where near a beach so no salt water here. The only salt the car sees is in the winter from the roads as I mentioned.

Yes it was. They said they were sending the parts back to Toyota.
