Description of the problem	I own a 2011 volkswagen routan. I bought it in august of 2014 with 50,000 miles. In november 2015, the vehicle started having issues. Every once in a while when starting the vehicle the engine would crank but not start. Then would start right up the second try. This problem got worse within a short amount of time. It took several tries to start. I took it in to my local vw dealership where they diagnosed it to be a timp failure. I got the vehicle repaired costing me $1028. 17. It had 69,000 miles at the time of repair. After doing research on this issue i have found there to be several other complaints with the same issue. This needs to be a recall!!!! Since this is the same vehicle as the chrysler town and country that happens to have the same problem and has a recall for the timp module. Also the brakes suck! My husband replaced them shortly after we got the vehicle and need replacing again.
