general problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta

Tpms failure on each tire and abs went out immediately. Was on he highway when failure happened; had to use the emergency run away truck ramp to stop. Break pads seized on back left side causing damage to rotor that was just replaced. Only thing that saved my life was it was in the middle of the night.

2007 Jetta speed increase from 50 to 85 mph without touching the gas pedal. By touching the brake it did stop the increase of speed before it went higher. This happen 4 to 5 times in the last several months. ( the cruise control was not turned on. ).

I have 2007 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsberg ed and I am having serious issue with the rear brakes. I bought this brand new at 60 miles on it in June 2007. . Around 18/19k I had to replace rear brakes n rotors cause they were worn and were rubbing metal on metal. . I went to the vw service they said it may have been the ebrake not adjusted correctly. . They replaced everything under warranty after arguing with them. . They tried to say it's the way I drive or I must have driven with the ebrake on. . R u kidding me!!!! I been driving for 10 yrs. . And if it was the way I drive why haven't the front brakes gone? they are still the original brakes to this date 2-12-10. . Anyhow so they replaced it. Right now I'm at 29k guess what. . I had tires changed out and my rear brakes are at 30% left. . This is insane 10k an I have to change rear brakes again?? meanwhile I still have original front brakes on the car with 2/3 of life on them! my trusted/personal mech said there has to be something wrong with the braking system or hydraulics. . There's no way I should be almost on my 3rd set of rear brakes without even touching my front brakes. . He said that is not normal. . I had a 95 camry bought it used had that for 2. 5 yrs and only replaced all brakes 1 time. . . And isn't the stopping power on all vehicle in the front brakes. . Its a fw drive car. . . This is getting ridiculous. . At this rate ill be changing brakes every 3 oil changes. . How does this make sense to the vw company or any mechanic for that matter?. . . Please recall this veh for rear brake issue. . Nobody has 400 dollars every 10k for brakes. . Please do the right thing!!.

We own a 2007 Jetta with about 30k miles on it. The brakes and rotors have failed. They have been making noise since day one but recently we learned they are shot. Vw claims this to be normal wear and tear. We say it's bad manufacturing or design and someone should look into these brakes.

I have only 21,000 miles on my car, at approx. 19,000 miles I noticed a slight squeak to my rear brakes occasionally. I have brought my car into have them checked. Volkswagen claims this is normal wear and tear, they claim it is normal for rear brakes to go out within such a short amount of time. This is not normal, nor is it safe. Brakes should last a lot longer, and I should not have to replaced them every 18-20,000 miles. This issue needs to be addressed immediately. Volkswagen is selling poor quality vehicles and they are attempting to shrug it off as normal wear and tear because they do not want to admit their fault in the design of the braking system on their most popular models. I have a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta. I have heard the same issue with their gti and rabbit models of the same year or later.

Purchased new vehicle 07/21/07 and on 12/09/08 I had to have the rear brakes and rotors replaced on my new 2007 vw Jetta with less than 16,000 miles on it! this is my 4th vw and I have never experienced this issue so soon before. My previous vw that I've brought to the same dealer for the last 8 years never had this issue. I find it inappropriate for vw to sell me a vehicle with sub standard parts that requires a lot of money to replace - with no disclaimer. I've come to expect better quality from vw. Which was the main reason as to why I purchased a new vehicle from vw again. To add, I'll have to go through this again every 15,000 miles or so. It is not a breaking habit as my prior records with vw will show that is not the case. While customer.

I have a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsberg edition with 29,000 miles on it. I am the original owner. My rear brakes were making an awful squealing noise. I brought the car to the dealer for scheduled maintenance as well as for my brakes. I was told that my rear brakes had 1mm and 2mm left on them and needed to be replaced and this was part of normal wear and tear. The car is not even 2 years old and they want to charge $425 to replace the rear brakes. I have owned toyotas before and have never heard of such a thing. This is a huge flaw that Volkswagen refuses to own up to. I have talked to my dealer, drito brothers, and customer relations about this issue. Apparently, Volkswagen does not care about their customers and continue to make an inferior car. I think it needs to be investigated with a potential for recall. I have read many online forums with many people running into this same issue. I had an outside mechanic take a look and they feel there is a major flaw in the car as the wear on the rear brakes is uneven while the front brakes are not showing any wear at all. Thank you for looking into this issue.

The rear brakes and rotors need replacement at 22,000 miles. While the front brakes are perfect.

Took my vw 2007 Jetta in for a 20k oil change and had to replace the rear brakes. I argued with the service dept. And did some research on the brakes only to find that this is a common problem with the Jetta. My previous car was a spyder eclipse; a much heavier car but had the original brakes at 78k ! this is the last vw I will buy. Owned a cabrio in 1999 and won my lemon law case for the defects.

My 2007 Jetta (wolfsburg edition) needed new rear brakes and rotors at 19k miles. This does not seem logical. Upon further research at mycarstats. Com, I learned that other '07 Jetta owners are experiencing the same problem. The complaints filed indicate potential faulty rear brake assembly. Vw only reimbursed me 1/2 of my $800 repair bill, and would not pay for brake flush that was performed without my authorization by the vw dealer where serviced.

The contact owns a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta. Whenever the contact attempts to drive his vehicle, he hears a grinding sound coming from the brakes of the vehicle. The dealer stated that all of the brake components needed to be replaced. The failure has occured on more than five different occasions. The current mileage was 40,000 and failure mileage was 1,000.
