the brake hubs started smoking and got hot. 9/13/26 I was rear ended but no warning was initiated or airbag. now I have no brake pads and was unable to stop. I had an oil change due 30thousand miles but Affenburg in Shilo IL turned me away. I'm not happy with the maintenance people for not helping this last year. I was not informed of my last recall or brake extension. this is a new car 2022 I expect better safety reminders and connection from Volkswagen. The bad brake system doesn't work.

The rough edges indicate an ongoing materials failure where the color topcoat is continuing to lift and separate cleanly from the e-coat, leaving the underlying primer layer completely intact.
