breaks on a 2003 VW passat


Question Posted Monday April 10 2006, 2:36 pm

hi! ok i'm going to try and explain this as well as i can even though i don't know too much about cars. I have a 2003 VW passat, and we got it 3 years ago brand new. currently there are about 25,000 miles on it!! after we put 11,000 miles on it, the breaks began to act up and we had them and the "roder" (sp?) changed!! then after about 6,000 more miles (at 18,000 total) they began to act up again, and the dealership changed the roder AGAIN!! right now, 7,000 miles later... the breaks are acting up again! by acting up, i mean that instead of a smooth stop, it feels like the car is moving back and forth quickly as it stops!! we have made an appointment for this coming friday to get things checked out, and my dad is really mad, especially if he is going to have to pay for this again!! he's no mechanic, but he says that it's not normal at all for the breaks (and the roder) to have to be changed so much, and he is deff going to yell at them and demand that they do it for free at the dealership. does he have a right to be mad, or is this normal?? could we be driving a so called "lemon??" Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! :)

one more thing: if it is not the breaks or the roder causing this problem in stopping, any ideas what else it could be? thanks!.
