Default going through brake pads once a month

i know my car is not a honda but im sure the basics of brakes are about the same, by the way the car is a 94 suzuki sidekick. well since christmas i have gone through like 4 sets of brake pads and 2 sets of rotors(because of pads wearing so quickly). the pedal is always mushy and when i replace the pads like one set of pads will be fine and then the other set will be all worn down then when i change the pads the next time the other side will be worn down, i have flushed the fluid twice since christmas, didnt help. i deliver pizza 40 hours a week and thats part of the reason but i have been doing that for over a year now and this problem just started, does any one have any idea what is wrong with my brakes???

sounds like you have some sticky calipers. Replace them soom before it turns into a money pit.

check your calipers and make sure that your rotors are not warped causing your brake pads to wear uneven

If u touch your front wheels they must be extremely hot from the calipers not releasing. Change dem calipers asap
