| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2010 volkswagen tiguan i've had it in the shop 3 times going on the 4th tomorrow due to the braking system. In reverse the brakes squeal so bad, how safe is this to drive? The automobile shop is basically telling me there is not thing they can do. While i drive the call and have to apply brakes sometimes i have to punch the brake pedal all the way down to the floor for the car to stop. |
