2006 Volkswagen Touareg Brakes Problems

SQUEALING NOISE AFTER I STOP AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN I DRIVE SLOW. DEALER SAYS TOUAREGS ARE ROUGH ON BRAKES. IT HAS ABOUT 42,000 MILES ON IT. HE SUGGESTS I LIVE WITH THE SQUEALING NOISE FOR A YEAR OR TWO UNTIL THE BRAKES REALLY GO. OR THEY CAN REPLACE THEM NOW - $700+. UGH. JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 60 DAYS AGO. *TR

CONSTANT SQUEAKING BRAKES WHEN I CAME OFF OF THE BRAKES, NOT PUSHING DOWN THIS OCCURRED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I TOOK IN TO DEALER, WAS INITIALLY TOLD NO PROBLEM EXISTED IT WAS BRAKE DUST, AND MAY NEED MORE EXPENSIVE PADS. I TOOK IT BACK ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER (SEPT 2007) AT MY 20K MILE CHECK AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED WHOLE NEW FRONT BRAKES. *TR

AFTER LESS THAN 27,000 MILES, THE DEALER STATED I NEEDED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES ON MY TOUAREG AT A COST OF $800.00. *JB
