Zetec LV 2010 rear rotors / brake pads

[roxen]

Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to driving so has no idea about the car maintenance apart from the scheduled servicing.

My car is Ford Focus Zetec LV 2010 with less than 60K on the clock. During the last service, I was recommended to change rear brake pads and rotors in 2-3K.

The only sound I've got now is when I release brake to go or when the car stops completely. It doesn't appear during slowing down when I'm using brakes.

So, my questions are:
1) Isn't my car still new to have such problems? I read that many drivers never needed to change rotors for the whole life of their car and that brake pads can last much longer.

2) If I'm about to change those, which brands including the model would you recommend me?

It's frustrating that my brakes got bad so quickly considering that I don't drive in the city and do less that 10K a year.

Thanks
Elena
