The 2007 Volkswagen Jetta has an issue with the rear brakes. I have less than 27,000 miles on the car and need to replace the pads and rotors. Within 1 week of hearing the inital grinding noise, I took the car to the dealership and was told there was 1/32 left on the rear rotors. This is unheard of for rotors to wear so quickly.
At 29,000 miles I started hearing a grinding noise in my rear brakes. Called dealership advising of noise and was given an appt for 2 weeks later. At appt was advised that rear brakes and rotors needed replaced. Vw advised me that it is normal for the rear brakes to go before the front brakes. No repair work done, car has been sitting in my garage.
