My first (1995) GLX had rear axle alignment problem that VW could not fix.
Changing tires (Yokohama 509s - at their expense) helped initially, but as
the time passed by, the problem reoccurred.  At that time, service manager
told me that they replaced at least 3 sets of bad Goodyear tires on various
models of Jetta and Golf.

Brakes do make a grinding noise on both 1995 and 1996 models, although you
can hardly hear it if a stereo is on.  No squeaking, though.  Service never
did not acknowledge grinding noise.
