Description of the problem	Tipm module issue. My 2011 vw routan was built by chrysler with the same parts as any other chrysler car at that time. Chrysler issued a recall for all vehicles made with this particular part as it is a life threatening issue. Most importantly the car will stop in the middle of driving! Imagine going down the freeway doing 70mph with your kids in the car and the car shuts off. Because the car is branded as a vw, chrysyler refuses to replace the recalled part which i was quoted at $1300 from the dealership and vw says it is a chrysler part and issue. This thin gray line is costing people thousands of dollars and possibly even lives. Also the fuel pump runs without car turned on. This is a safety issue which causes the fuel pump to run and drain the battery dead along with other safety issues like car stopping dead. This car cannot run without the new tipm and this recall must be honored by vw. They are making us pay for a new module. There are thousands of these routans with this problem and no one is listening. So i also replaced fuel pump after issues with engine refusing to turn over. Next day after repair the vehicle refused to start. So i have explored the internet regarding this issue and find many complaints with the need to replacement tipm. This van has an engine built by chrysler which recalled its 2011 vans to replace this device. Please force vw to do the same! Its truly absurd that vw will not create a recall for the tipm as chrysler did.
