| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2004 vw passat had 13,823 when the rear brake pads completely wore out. the front have only worn out 8% to this day (12/20/04). first, the car pulsated when the brakes were applied. so, i personally went to the dealer to find out what the problem was; which was no help. i was told there was nothing worng. later, to no suprise of mine; there was. the brake lamps turned on and didnt go off. even with the car in park and turned off. with this, i went to the dealer who told me my rear brake pads were worn. at the dealers, the rear rotors were replaced for free, but the pads were not. this is simply disrespectful, as i am not a crazy driver and had to pay $220 to replace defective brake pads. *ak |
