My car was purchased in December 2023 it was new with approximately 4 miles on the car I’m retired I use the car mostly for doctors appointments personal use church in August 2024 I took my car in for 10,000 mile oil change at the time I was told that my brakes were in fair condition the rear brakes so in December 2024 I took my car to a Volkswagen service and another independent a car service center and was told basically that all the parts on my rear brakes needed to be replaced I thought this was highly unusual this is not the first new car I have owned and not the first Volkswagen I have owned I don’t drive every day I really wish you would answer me back quickly because spending between six and $700 for rear brakes on a new car is excessive I would appreciate it if you would respond quickly.
2024 Volkswagen Jetta brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle is brand new currently has 13,000 miles, only highway driving, purchased car new in April 2024. Rear brakes wore down prematurely. Needed to replace rear brakes and rotors.
The Hill Start Assist is overly aggressive in these cars. It doesn't release for 3 seconds after foot brake is not applied. Once it stalls the car and your panicked. Then you apply foot brake to restart the car you get to wait another 3 seconds or you stall again. It is inconsistent in pressure applied and dangerous. I have been driving manual transmission vehicles for near 40 years. Perhaps if I lived in San Francisco it might be of use but, with this activating at the slightest grade it is dangerous! Look around the VW forums I'm not the only person to think so.
