Car has 8200 miles. Started to notice when exit the freeway a rumbling sound, after few trips I narrowed the problem to front disc brakes. Seems like they are warped. After 2 times of taking the vehicle for inspection to savannah volkswagen, they gave me feedback that problem is normal. The problem is more accute when brakes warm up a bit after driving on the freeway. Dont know what to do since VW customer service tells is ok.
