The pad material has started to come off in patches and is attached to the rotor! Im def not happy and when i called the shop the owner replied. "Hmm you are to third person with this problem, maybe ill change brands. Thanks for the heads up" and hung up!!!

53,000 miles and X number of OEM brake pads (4 sets for the front / 3 pairs for the rear... I've lost track) and my rotors are in excellent condition.
