Consumer Description

THE REAR BRAKES (MAINLY DRIVER SIDE) ON MY 2013 SPORTWAGON TDI, ARE STICKING BAD.. MILEAGE HAS DROPPED 10 MPG-ISH, AND THEY ARE REALLY EMITTING QUITE A BIT OF HEAT.. SO OBVIOUSLY THE BRAKES ARE STICKING, BUT I CANT FIND THE REASON... I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK. AND THEY SAID THAT IT JUST NEEDS NEW PADS AND THE CALIPER SLIDERS GREASED. SO I HAD THEM ALL REPLACED. IT SEEMED TO BE BETTER GETTING NORMAL MILEAGE AND LESS HEAT AND NOW A COUPLE DAYS LATER ITS BACK TO STICKING. TOOK THE CENTER CONSOLE APART TO SEE IF THERE WAS A BIAS IN THE CABLES SHOWING A STUICKY CABLE OR SOMETHING AND I COULD SEE THEY WERE DEAD EVEN... WENT AWAY FOR SOME TIME AND NOW ITS BACK AGAIN..
