To address the OP's actual problem, the rear brakes need the attention. The Traverse layout is a brake system killer for sure. A super heavy FWD car basically, with a truck/SUV body on it with possibly an AWD system if equipped. My estimate is when working properly, 70-75% of the braking would be done by the front anyway. Now add in those glazed rear rotors and old, super hard rear pads and the rear may be doing 5-10% of the braking. Super high center of gravity, tons of weight transfer when braking, no front brake pads will last long. Also IMO, the front brakes are way, way too small for what amounts to a small school bus. I really like your choice of Power Stop front pads and rotors. I have had excellent luck with those. But to really solve the issue or extend the life, I would put the same stuff on the rear.
