| Description of the problem | I bought a certified pre-owned 2009 routan. After about a year, the car randomly will not start, it just clicks but will not start. Replaced battery. Still - car will not start. This has been going on for 3 years. Had starter & alternator checked - both good. Had the ignition recall done and problem resolved itself for about 3 months - now it started doing this again - randomly will not start. Hubby moved a wire under the hood and magically the car started. Got home and van will not start! After spending $5,200 on a new transmission - i hate to put any more $$ into this van. Has anyone found a fix for this problem - i've seen many have this same issue. Talked to a lady at vw repair shop who has been in excess of $3,000 trying to fix this exact same problem. Still keeps happening. Help! |
