| Description of the problem | Electrical system: vehicle not part of existing recall. Have owned car since new. In 2014, vehicle lost all electrical power while driving, steering, braking etc. Was able to pull to side of road, restart vehicle, and get to dealership. Do not know exact mileage now at the time, probably around 40000. Vw replaced the ignition and reprogrammed existing fobs. Feb 2017, vehicle has same issue re-appearing. Vw says not ignition and is tipm going bad, even though same issue. Our vin does not show for either of the 2 current recalls, but have same issue and vw will not fix since no longer under warranty. Vehicle losing all power and control while in motion is major safety hazard and vw does not seem to know where true issue lies and cannot explain why this 2010 routan is not recalled why others are, that have same issue. Also, routan uses same parts as chrysler tipm recall, but why vw not recalling tipm. Both ignition recall and tipm issue can be catastrophic while driving, but this routan does not have any recall noted. |
