NHTSA Complaint #11671461 — 2024 VOLKSWAGEN TAOS

My Taos will be 1 year old in August 2025 and I have approximately 8300 miles on it. I took my car in for its 1 year/10000 mile service yesterday and was told that my rear break pads are worn to 50% already. My front break pads are still at 90%. My last car, a Volvo S60, was 12 years old when I sold it and had never needed the brake pads replaced. I see VW has granted a warranty extension on the brake pads, but this is the second time this has been done. I had to look that up myself. The service rep at VW said nothing when I asked about the early wear on the brake pads. He just said they wear quickly. Clearly a known issue and VW continues to put a bad product out. To me bad brakes are a safety issue.
