| Description of the problem | The rotors in my 2009 vw routan had to replaced after 3900 miles and now again at 9930 miles. The van shakes horribly when braking on the freeway or going downhill - usually associated with any speed over 40 miles an hour. The service at the dealership seemed aware that it was a continual problem. The rotors will always become warped, the van will shake, and we will have to take the van it to have to rotors adjusted - according to my records, roughly every 4000 miles. The van has 10040 miles on it and is 1 year old. |
