| Rear brakes on 2005 vw jetta - metal on metal after 19k and 38k miles. told by vw that it is due to a smaller brake pad on the rear. fear that a smaller brake pedal wears faster and is thus a safety issue. *tr | |||

| 20k miles, noticed rear grinding sound when braking. sound seemed to dissipate after a few hundred feet of braking. however, it turns out that the grinding sound was the rear pads having been worn down to the rivets. i now have to replace the rear rotors and rear pads, at 20k miles. this is very unusual. should be able to go to 60k miles on rear pads, perhaps as soon as 30k on fronts. *tr updated 12/12/2007 *bf updated 12/12/07 | |||
