Description of the problem	First off, the bread started giving me trouble a couple weeks after purchasing the vehicle. When i took the vehicle in to have it checked out vw of the woodlands exclaimed that there was no issue and that the brake pads had a few rocks in between them. As the weeks passed the issue gradually got worst and i could feel the brakes grind when i proceeded to come to a stop. Now the brakes are completely jacked up and i will have to pay out of pocket to have them repaired. My second problem is the electrical issue that i've encountered. This dates back to at least 3 weeks after buying the car. I reported the problem to them and have even taken the vehicle in to have it checked out, but yet again i was given an excuse. "your alternator needs to be changed!" i was told. I couldn't understand why the alternator was preparing to go out after only having the car for 5 months. But that was not the fixture of my problem. The dash board likes come on and goes off repeatedly iver time and i have been taking a picture each time it happens for my documentation. It's very unprofessional what goes on with these car dealerships and how they get over on people. This 2014 volkswagen passat is a bust and should be recalled.
