Routan 6-cyl

  • 26,000 miles
2010 Routan with 26K miles pulls to the right and most likely has done so since I bought it since the tires need replacing. The brakes have been replaced at 18K and now need to be done again. VW denies there is an issue with vehicles pulling to the right. Opened case 130240300 with VW. They refuse to cover the cost to diagnose the cause of the pulling and tire wear. Recall needs to be issued I have seen numerous postings with the same issue online.
