Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The brake pads and rotors (front and rear) on my 2013 vw passat 3. 6 sel are rusting, and make a grinding noise when i come to a stop. Vw service department verified that i have plenty of pads and rotors on my brakes. This is unacceptable, and further confirms a lack of build quality for pads and rotors that cost $1,100 to replace. It's quite obvious the board of directors, and executive team at volkswagen aren't interested in quality or safety. They are only interested in sacrificing quality and safety to save a dollar. |
