Brake Disc Problems of Volkswagen Jetta

Rear brakes I feel their is a defect. Have replaced them once at about under 13 thousand miles and again now over 13 thousand miles the vehicle has the same issue. It is not reasonable for rear brakes to wear down before the front. Now Volkswagen is giving me the run around. It has less than a year since purchase and I have to spend another 5 hundred dollars to get these fixed. I can be going through brakes like that.

Rear brakes were sqeualing for months. Took into dealership 5 times and they could not duplicate noise. Finally rear brakes went all together and had them replaced at another dealership. Dealer said they should not have gone after just over 30,000 miles so Volkswagen covered half of costs. One week later picked up car as I was driving home malfunction indication light came on. Took into dealership again. All three oxygen sensors had blown. Day after picking up from dealership passenger window fell into door and is currently back in being fixed. I know these are all common problems with 1999 Jetta. Vw was somewhat helpful on cost but will do nothing now because they "have already been too kind". This car is dangerous and I do not feel comfortable driving it anymore. Now I have to cover the cost of an early lease termination for fear of injury or more $ for damage repairs.

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.

While on I-95 between two exits the right rear passenger's side tire exploded and punctured a whole in the gas tank. Dealer told consumer that consumer was responsible that must have run over something.

I purchased the car in 1996. I immediately had problems with the brakes and had to bring the car in many times and was told that nothing was wrong. After the 24 month warranty was up I was told that I needed front rotors and pads and rear calipers and pads. I argued with them (vw America) and they said that they couldn't help because it was out of warranty. I have proof of them saying nothing was wrong for 2 years and then out of a sudden I needed over $500. Worth of work. (tiresize: 15 inch)( dot number: tire size: 15 inch ).
