During regular service dealer ask for replace rear brake. They said - rear rotor warped and pads worn. They charge - brakpadset $55, brake disc $100 and labor $210. So total $370. 95. And this is not covered by warranty. I use car in not mountain area and average speed about 35-50 miles per hour.
Rear brake pads replaced 5 times, rear rotors replaced 3 times, new compound pads replaced 2 times- car is having additional changes performed July 30,2000 . Manufacturer called 12/5/2000, letters(certified mail) on March 23 2002 and June 9,2001- July 25 2001, manufacturer recognizes that 'the particular non-conformity that wxists in your vehicle presents a potenial safety concern'.
1. The rear brake line snapped off while installing new pads. The brake line snapped a clean cut, no bends etc. The brake line appeared to be very brittle and was probably a result of metal fatigue or faulty original equipment. It should be noted that the rear brake pads were completely worn out at just 33964 miles while the front pads appeared to be nearly new. This is a reverse in normal wear out patterns and was probably caused by the calipers overheating/locked up etc. 2. The rear brake pads were completely worn out after only 33964 miles of which most of the travel was on non-stop on interstate highways. Either the rear brake pads were defective or there is something wrong with the design of the vw Jetta, which caused the rear pads to wear out long before the front.
Back rear brakes grinded to a stop needed new pads & rotors not covered under warranty.
While driving at 15 mph driver heard a loud pop. Brake pedal went to the floor and continued this way until the driver pulled into a parking lot. There were no brakes.
