This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
At 20,000 miles my leased 2007 VW Jetta's rear brakes started squeaking and grinding. Took it to dealership and was told that the rear pads and rotors need to be replaced ($350!). I've never had a car with brakes problems this early, specially a front wheel drive car. I did some research and I see that this seems to be a manufacturing defect and VW should acknowledge it and fix it at no cost to the customer.
Left rear brake pad metal to metal at 8000 mi. Told parking brake was not adjusted correctly at the factory. Dealer replaced both rear rotors and pads.
