Routan 6-cyl

  • 4,000 miles
Had the van less than 3 months and took it in for service - brakes squeaking and steering pulling to right w/only 4K miles. Found out steering boot was "disintegrated" and needed to be replaced, along with steering pump and related parts. Dealership had no explanation as to why the damage occurred or what could have caused it. My van was in the shop for 28 days waiting for available parts and completing repairs. I have only had my van back a week and it's pulling to the right again. Also, A/C doesn't cool consistently - fades in and out.
