2018 Volkswagen ATLAS Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1641309
Internal NHTSA #	11306899
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	ATLAS
Model Year	2018
File date	17/01/20
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After 2 years of owning the car, and about 34k miles, i had to replace both the rotor and pads of the front brakes. The part of the rotor facing the interior of the vehicle were gauged about 2mm deep by the pads. Those pads still had about 2mm left of life according to the tech. The exterior side of the rotor was in good condition with the pads still having about 4mm. Having to replace pads and rotors after such a short amount of life shows inappropriate design. Additionally the fact that the rotor was more than worn out ( the pad created a grove on the rotor) shows: 1/ a huge difference of force applied between the inner and outer pad 2/ possible material issue on either the pads or the rotor
