2 Brake Grinding Noise problem

Noticed a grinding noise at 11k miles, brought Jeep in for 12k mile service. I was informed that I needed new brakes. I paid for the new breake and the grinding noise still is there. I was told that this is normal for Jeep? 12000 miles is too short of a time to change the breaks on a car that was expressway driven only on the weekends. . .
