Vehicle is a 2006 vw Jetta with a safety issue with brakes the vehicle rear brakes wear out at about 25,000 to 30,000 miles do to grabbing from the e brake design vehicle does not have a censor or a metal tab on the brake pads to indicate brakes need to be replace.
The rear brake pads, on the vehicle side with the emergency brake cable attached, wear very prematurely. The dealer indicated this type of vehicle has faulty brake adjusters. They would not replace under warranty. This is a severe safety hazard.
Brakes/steering/esp-vehicle pulls to the right after making left hand turns or u-turns. Sometimes so aggressively that it has caused injury to the drivers and damage to the car's rim and tire. Vehicle moves after put in park and the ignition has been turned off. Sometimes, it moves after getting out and walking away. Have been told by two dealerships that this is normal. I don't feel that moving 6 inches or more is safe, especially around children and small pets. Seat memory-seat started moving on its own while driving. Almost had an accident because of this as in the middle of braking, the seat moved all the way back where I could not reach the pedals. Memory has not been right even after replacing switches and I am stressed and wonder when the seat will start moving on its own again.
