| Description of the problem | The van would not start (it would only crank) after turning off. After multiple tries the van would eventually start up. This happened intermittently. This issue eventually got worse and now the van only cranks. I had to have the van towed to our local volkswagen dealership. After diagnosis, the dealership has determined that the totally integrated power module has failed. According to the dealer, this can fail as the vehicle is in motion and can cause deadly results. This is going to cost $1,300 to fix plus tax. |
