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.”

“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.”
