problem #1

Oct 012003

Jetta 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 25,000 miles
Rear brake pads/rotors: Premature wear, at 25K. Went to dealer they told me that it was my fault for using the brakes too much and that it was going to be $650 for parts and labor. Went to a midas had them replaced for $250 and was told there that brakes should not wear out that soon on a new car.
