| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2006 volkswagen jetta 2.5l started making strange noises from my rear brakes at 23,000 total vehicle miles. when i removed the rear brake pads, they were already worn to the studs and etching the rear brake discs. braking effort and stopping distances were increasing. i have never owned a car with brakes that wore out in 20,000 miles, and if i did not know what to do, i would have destroyed the brakes entirely and/or had a failure. apparently, this is a common problem on these cars because the hand brake is not fully released. *tr |
