I purchased the car in 1996. I immediately had problems with the brakes and had to bring the car in many times and was told that nothing was wrong. After the 24 month warranty was up I was told that I needed front rotors and pads and rear calipers and pads. I argued with them (VW America) and they said that they couldn't help because it was out of warranty. I have proof of them saying nothing was wrong for 2 years and then out of a sudden I needed over $500. Worth of work. (tiresize: 15 inch)( dot number: Tire size: 15 inch )
