| Description of the problem | While driving my 2011 vw routan at 45 mph speed suddenly the speed dropped down to 20 mph on a busy road and eventually stopped. Luckily i was able to pull my vehicle over to a local road. After showing the vehicle to dealer the problem was identified as timp issue and repair would cost $1500. Luckily it wasn't a freeway with 65 mph road, i couldn't think of this thing happens on such road with kids inside the car. I have came across chrysler got same sort of issues and they recalled such vehicles. Vw routan is also same built as chrysler town and county and vw didn't offer any recalls for these issues. |
