After only 20,000 miles on my 2001 Jetta, a loud grinding noise began from the rear driver side wheel. There was no warning light, and no squeel prior to the grinding. After taking it to the dealer, they informed me that the rear pads and rotors would need to be replaced, at a cost of $375. They seem to want to blame it on me using the brakes too much. This is ridiculous. I also own a Toyota with 75,000 miles on it. The brakes on it are still the original.
