Driver air bag has failed twice resulting in high dollar repairs. brakes go bad extremely fast. already replaced 2 full sets of brakes and rotors in 2 years; less than 10,000 miles on each set. vehicle violently jerks when in reverse on a hill. abnormal amount of popping in steering. dealer unable to pinpoint problem with jerking or popping.
I am now going to have to replace my brakes and rotors for the third time and possibly the control arms as well. i understand that there is a service bulletin for this. why isn't there a recall for this? many customers have the same issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 volkswagen routan. when the brake pedal was depressed, the rear brakes failed to release. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver and passenger side rear mounting brackets needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 56,752.
I was driving along a highway with my wife and children when all the power in my vehicle shutoff. i lost power to the engine, power steering, and power braking. i was able to get the vehicle over to the side of the road without incident. since then i have had several electrical issues and the volkswagen dealership has attributed it to a failed totally integrated power module (tipm). *tr
