In regards to the rear brakes, check to see if the ABS light is not burned out. The ABS controller distributes pressure and if not working will cause the rear pads to contact first. Also a good time to flush your brake lines with new fluid. And, no, this is hardly normal or even remotely common. Time to find a good indie and dump the dealer.
AWD seals. Make sure you rotate the tires front to back every 5-6,000 miles to keep the tread wear even. Check the pressure, too. Any inbalance with the wheels will cause the fluids to overheat. Of course, all tires must be the same brand and size. My dealer would kick ME in the butt if I had mixed tires on the car.
Again, there are a lot of independents where you live, find a good one. Check the "shops" listing on this site.
