BRAKING IS INADEQUATE AND IS LIKELY TO FAIL AS BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AFTER LESS THAN A 8,000 MILES. WARPED ROTORS COULD AFFECT ABS SYSTEM AND LEAD TO MORE ACCIDENTS. VW HAS REPLACED ROTORS WITH SAME PART NUMBER SO PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLATION. VW NEEDS TO IMPROVE THEIR BRAKES FOR THIS VEHICLE GIVEN THE SAFETY OF THE TYPICAL CUSTOMER IS USUALLY A FAMILY OF FOUR OR MORE. A RECENT SEARCH ON GOOGLE SHOWS THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO VW WHO CONTINUES TO SIMPLY REPLACE THE PART WITH THE SAME ONE. THEY NEED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND ENGINEER A BETTER BRAKING SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE OR BUY BETTER QUALITY BRAKING COMPONENTS. *TR
