We bought a 2009 Volkswagen Routan in Nov. 2008, in shop 2 x's already, it went again, can we take it back?
First the ignition went after just one month and then we were left driving their rental for a month, got our vehicle back and then after, I'd say, a month, the power steering hose busted, we had to take it in again, they fixed it in a day, but we had a rental for the two days. And now, going into our fourth month, as new owners, the ignition has...

I know this answer does not really answers your question, BUT I would take it back IMMEDIATELY !!! WHY ?? ... I would NEVER buy a VW Routan for the simple reason that it is basically a Chrysler Town & Country with a VW badge, VW engine, and some other minor changes. I learned this fact last...

2009 Volkswagen Routan - what is it?
Which chassis did Volkswagen base the Routan minivan on? Is it built on a Passat chassis or is it an all new vehicle?
Source: Yahoo! Answers, 2 answers

Actually, believe it or not, the Routan is based on Chrysler's Town and Country minivan. It's far from an exact copy; the interior of the Routan is a lot nicer but a lot of the body panels are the same as in the Chrysler. I'm not exactly sure why Volkswagen would do this, or even build a minivan to...

Really man? Before posting you should have jacked up the rear end, removed the wheels, and checked the brakes. So do it now. Also, you really shouldn't have bought that rebadged Chrysler.

Other Choices

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Volkswagen Routan merits a serious look if VW’s iconoclast styling and a huge cargo capacity top your list.

However, the refinement, fit, finish, and driving demeanor of the Odyssey make it the choice for enthusiasts.

Toyota’s Sienna is the smooth, soft, and luxurious player here, but a fully optioned version retails for even more than a Routan.

Significant manufacturer rebates applying to the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country will probably make these Routan platform-mates a more attractive buy for the budget-minded.

But price aside, unless your passengers really need the removable picnic table and more easily reconfigured second-row seats of the uplevel Grand Caravan and Town & Country, we’d call the Routan a better, more stylish bet than their Pentastar siblings.
