Brake Sensor Problems of Volkswagen Routan

I am having all kinds of brake problems! I had to replace all the pads and rotors which where badly rusted at 28000. And now at 44000 I will have to replace them all again and callibors I also had all 4 tires go flat at different times because of valve sensors corroding and falling into tires! skylight leaks! drivers side sliding door does not close automaticly!ruber on running bourds kept comming off. Dealer finnaly reinbursed me after going back 2 or3 times to have them glue it down. I spend more time trying to fix it than driving it it only has 44000 miles! vehicle is a lemmon!.

See all problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Routan 🔎.

Brake rotors warp very quickly on this vehicle (which is also made by Chrysler). During heavy braking at 40mph the steering wheel vibrates very heavily due to warped brake rotors (happens under 12000miles). Dont see how antilock sensors can withstand this vibration and get an accurate reading to keep the vehicle from locking the wheels. I have already had incidents where applying the brakes at 40mph hour that I have skidded but was Smart enough to let off once I realized the abs was not functioning correctly and re-applied the brakes. Vw and dealer acknowledge the problem and replace the rotors with the same defective rotors on the vehicle. This is an engineering problem and not a wear and tear issue as they claim. It will only be a matter of time before someone gets killed in a bad accident thinking that abs brakes and there braking system is realiable. High speed braking is not something you do everyday but in an emergency and thats when you realize that your brakes are warped and in need of repair!!! but it might be too late!!!.
