First, brake pad life depends on your driving style. Drive hard, brake a lot and the pads won't last a long time. Second, the material of the pads can affect life too.
It wouldn't hurt to ask the dealership about the service bulletin on your car. If you are a DIY person, you could take it apart and inspect the pads/rotors and scuff them up a bit. I've fixed some minor annoying issues by doing that. Sometimes your pads can get glazed over, and I've had weird little bumps on my rotors that made a horrible grinding noise when coming to a stop. Used my grinder and cleaned/sanded the surface and it hasn't come back in 2 yrs.

Take the wheels off and look at the calipers. If there is 1/8 of an inch or less of pad, it is time to replace the pads.
