| Description of the problem | The tipm module went out, causing all instruments to go to zero, all indicators to light up, the warning tone sounded, the wipers started of their own accord, and other craziness related to the computer system. The vehicle was moving at the time; parking, turning off the engine and back on, adjusting speed -- nothing made a difference. Since volkswagen routans are just rebadged chrysler town and countries, the tipm issue is just as much of a problem on routans as it was on dodge, chrysler, and jeep vehicles. |
