| Description of the problem | 2010 volkswagen routon with 17,000 miles began shaking and shuddering every time i brake, even at slow speeds. This car is used for minimal driving. I brought my car in and was told i need new rotors and that my rotors were warped. I am still driving the car and the brakes still shudder and shake.. I spoke to a mechanic that doesn't work for volkswagen but on german cars and he said he owned a routon and it is a common problem with their rotors. I read several complaints and reviews online with the same issue too. I don't think its safe to have car manufacturers make brake systems so poorly as i may be able to afford a repair, many else wont as the repair is costly and not what a person would expect from a car with little mileage. I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case others have reported the problem. |
