Brakes problem
2007 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl Manual 39000 miles

Hello,

I live in Maui, so I'm nervous about getting my brakes worked on here...things tend to cost more. I haven't taken it in yet to be inspected, but we basically have Midas, Goodyear, and Sears here.

Any recommendations on what the problem might be with the loud sound when I brake? I've never had to do any repair work on the brakes since purchasing the car.

Just wondering what I might be looking at.

Thank you,
Heather Michaud

Hi there,

you may have run out of pads and are now metal to metal and destroying the rotors, this will need checking ASAP.
