problem #2

Jetta 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
At 20,000 miles my leased 2007 VW Jetta's rear brakes started squeaking and grinding. Took it to dealership and was told that the rear pads and rotors need to be replaced ($350!). I've never had a car with brakes problems this early, specially a front wheel drive car. I did some research and I see that this seems to be a manufacturing defect and VW should acknowledge it and fix it at no cost to the customer.
