## Narrative
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. I do love my Taos as I feel it was made for me but the company is bad about honoring warranty issues.
