Is 63 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2013 and 2024, roughly 6 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2012 has 63 complaints on file, fewer than the 2011 (175). Of the 3 model years of the Volkswagen Routan we cover, the 2010 has the most (240). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
