Angry Rear brakes + rotors 14k

So my new truck now has 14k on it it is (3) months old. I went to the dealer last week it had aprox 12k (I drive a lot of highway miles) and i mentioned I had a vibration when braking they said there was a recall on my air conditioning and it would take aprox (4) hours too fix and that's when I said I will bring it back. Well it turns out that I need new rear brakes + rotors WTF are you kidding me!!!!!!!. I called Dodge too complain lets see were this goes.

Did any one else replace rotors and pads at 14k or is this a quality issue?

There must be a problem. i've got 40k miles on my truck with some pretty hard brake use and they still work perfect. I would suggest replacement aftermarket pads and rotors with lifetime warranties, I've heard the oem rotors are junk.

48k on my '04 with a little bit of pretty heavy towing and I'm still on my original brakes and pads. Checked last time I rotated my tires, about 4k miles ago, fronts are about 3/4 worn, backs ain't even half used up yet...
