| Description of the problem | Screeching brakes. The brakes were screeching for the past three months and the vw dealership replaced the pads and disc. After three attempts, i was told that the screeching is normal. Also, since i bought the suv in setptmber 2004, i have been having an alignment problem which resulted in excessive tire wear. The dealer did numerous alignments and i changed all four tires( 3 times), but the problem still exists. The vehicle only has about 28,000 miles. |
