I have a 2009 VW Routan (Caravan) and it has been a lot of trouble. It's starting to have some weird bugs crop up too with warning lights and chimes going off without cause. My wife has also told me that sometimes it will not start on the first turn of the key. (ignition switch recall was already done)

Anyway, I'm considering getting rid of it and wondering if the updated vans are better. Google tells me of some TIPM issues on 2011-2012 vans, but otherwise they look pretty reliable.

What does the group say here? Thanks.
