Premature rear brake pad wear on 2022–2024 VW Taos vehicles is a widely documented defect that degrades braking performance, increases stopping distances, and poses a serious safety risk if pads wear down to metal-on-metal unnoticed. Volkswagen issued a 24-month/24,000-mile warranty extension for this exact issue. However, because my mileage slightly exceeds 24,000 miles, both the dealership service manager and Volkswagen Corporate Customer Care refused to cover the repair or file a goodwill claim, leaving me with a $978.97 dealer repair quote. Premature rear pad failure at barely 24k miles represents a defective component that should be subject to a safety recall.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"VOLKSWAGEN","productModel":"TAOS","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
