I have been advised that both front brakes require new rotors although pads have not worn through. Given the mileage, this seems like a defect. The manufacturer has declined to assist as the vehicle in no longer under warranty.

The consumer took the vehicle to be serviced because the brakes were making noise, the dealer said the brakes were ok, at 22k miles consumer was told that the brake rotors and pads had to be replaced. Nlm.
Curious if rotor defect is inherent in all vw Passats.
