Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Routan seemed to jolt/skid when brake was pressed. This would happen approximately every 3rd day. Took it to the dealership and they found the rotors were worn. This I cannot understand when it is a new 2010 which I purchased in august of 2010. I do not comprehend and understand their explanation. The described how the rotor works along with the brake. Bottom line is a more sensible material is being used. They were not replaced only touched up. Makes no complete sense and to me is already a safety hazard. Also there is a ticking sound coming from the engine but they could not detect/find it. …”
