Well it is Brake pads and you have a warranty so let the dealer answer this for you . ---

Brake pads are a normal wear-and-tear item so your warranty probably won’t cover it unless there’s an underlying problem that’s causing the noise. Still, since it’s a new vehicle take it back to the dealer. ---

Still, since it’s a new vehicle take it back to the dealer. considering the OP said 14 miles, I doubt it would be considered a “wear & tear issue” 😉 ---

Pardon me while I check _my_ notes to see where I said the OP would like it. Oh, I didn’t. First, the OP’s post is in garbled English so that we might be talking about 140 miles or _14k._ Second, the dealer might determine the OP was riding the brake pedal. Right now we don’t have all the information. ---

> [@rOGER12](#): > > brand new t roc The Volkswagen T-Roc is sold in Europe and China. The OP must live awfully close to the dealer to have only 14 miles on the vehicle. ---

At 14 miles or 140 it would still be a warranty issue.
