That does not make any sense...if the brakes are for parking you aren't going to wear them!  If anything they have gone bad due to faulty design!  Man you ain't kiddin' about bad-mojo!  The problem is that the freaking thing is just that a PARKING (meaning the vehicle by now is not going to be in motion thus not using the brake pads) BRAKE...you have to be giving them the hugest "you guys have to be retarted" look!...
Sorry I was looking for a question mark emoticon and I figured that all of these fit your situation quite well!

Hey, Thanks for the support. Actually my lic. plates are BAD MOJO. I'm just waiting to see if they cover it or not before I go in and talk to the Sales Manager, Service Manager and Service Estimator all in the same room to see how they can justify trying to charge me for a known defect and if one hand knows what the other hand is doing.

Known defect who cares about the defect...the fact that a parking brake's pads are bad is hilarious!  Wonder how they could justify that...here's there answer "it happens quite often" (service guy in ray ramano's brothers voice!)  That is so crazy man I'm feeling it for ya bro...good luck with it!  Would you stick with the car irregardless though?  I know I want one!  Where's the pictures of yours?

Sorry to hear you lost your mojo baby-YEAHHH!!!  For real though what'd they say?  Also curious below the J-gate that handle like thing is for the parking brake???  Got any other pics?  I'd love to see some more of it as I really really really want one...perhaps doing some burnouts?

They pretty much had a BS answer for every question that I had telling me that their not really worn out but their getting close and that there's no min. thickness for the parking brake pads and even sometimes contradicted themselves so after an hour or so I just agreed to dissagree and left. Yes that is the lever for the electronic parking brake. An electric motor winds the cable that tightens the calipers.
P.S. I'm usually in front of a camera when I'm doing burnouts but I will post some more pics soon.

I know the brakes are bad, but just use the loaner they give you to go thru the window( using ure car wudnt be a good idea). and if they say what happen, just say it is a common thing for the parking brakes to wear fast and i think this is a situation where they went bad. I put the car in park and it wudnt stop and now you have a new show room.
