At my 20,000 mile maintenance oil change, I was told my rear brakes and rotors were needing to be replaced. The car is a 2024 vw taos with 19,600k miles. I have never had to replace brakes anywhere near this early on any other car so it is not due to driving habits. The windshield wipers will also spontaneously go off even with no rain or precipitation hitting the windshield.

The windshield wipers regularly come on automatically when it is not raining, sometimes at a very rapid speed. I have unselected in the settings the option for them to come on automatically but the problem still persists. When the windshield is dry the wipers make a very loud dragging noise and since this comes at random unexpected times it is quite startling as well as an annoyance. I have taken the vehicle in to have the censor assessed that is incorrectly detecting the rain and told that everything appeared correctly but that it was a known issue for this make and model vehicle.
