Car Experts - any advice?

[Sid23]

I leased a 2006 Saab 9-3 in early 2006 and have put appox 25k miles on it since then. My brakes were making noise and I took it in last week for an estimate and then again today (2 diff places - Saab dealer and a local brake guy I trust). Both places say I need to replace my brake pads and rear routers and I'm looking at $700-1000. How is that possible with such a new car?

My lease has full warranty coverage and I understand brakes and pads are wear and tear items, but at 25,000 miles? that seems ridiculous to me.

How would you handle this situation?
