| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I HAVE A 2007 VW JETTA THAT IS WEARING OUT PADS TO FAST. THE 1ST TIME THEY WORE OUT THE CAR HAD APPROX 16,000 MI. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER NOT TOTALLY RELEASING. THE 2ND TIME THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH APPROX. 28,000 MI. BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND VW WERE WILLING TO REPLACE THE PADS SINCE THEY WORE DUE TO THE BRAKE LEVER AGAIN. BUT IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT AUDI PADS BE PUT ON BECAUSE THEY WORE LONGER THAN THE VW. THE MECHANIC AT THE TIME SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON THE JETTA WITH THE LEVER NOT ALWAYS RELEASING. NOW AT 54,000 MI THE CAR HAD TO GO IN FOR A BRAKE JOB. UNFORTUNATELY THE PADS WORE DOWN TO THE RIVETS AND SCOURED THE ROTORS. SO I HAD TO PAY FOR PADS AND TURNING THE ROTORS. NOW VW IS SAYING THAT THEY DESIGN THE BRAKES TO WEAR IN 12,000 TO 20,000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF PADS ONLY LASTING THAT SHORT OF TIME. AND IF THAT IS SO THEN WHY AM I STILL USING THE ORIGINAL FRONT PADS. THEN THEY STATE THAT THEY SET THE CAR UP SO THE REARS DO MORE WORK THEN THE FRONT TO MAKE THE FRONT NOT DO ALL THE BRAKING. YEAH, WE DO THAT ON TRACTOR AND TRAILERS TO, BUT NOT TO MAKE THE REARS DO ALL THE BRAKING. I WORRY BECAUSE MY SON USES THIS CAR AT COLLEGE AND I DON'T WANT A CALL SAYING HE HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE BRAKES GOING OUT. I WORRY VW MAY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR PADS PREMATURELY WEARING AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM LIKE TOYOTA CAN'T FIX THEIR PROBLEM. *TR |
