| Description of the problem | Vw routan 2009-the braking system after 6 weeks started to shake and at times i have come close to not coming to a full stop due to the violent vibration it caused. I am thinking that if i don't ease up on the brakes that something is going to explode. This continues even after requesting for the dealership to investigate. Now at 18000 miles i am requiring to replace rotors and brakes. $$$. Unfair. With all the recalls associated with this vehicle, i am tempted to trade in.. I use to love and trust the vw reputation:(( time to change!! |
