2011 Volkswagen Routan

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I HAD THE CODE CHECKED IT INDICATED THAT O2 SENSORS NEEDED REPLACED THEN THE CODE INDICATED A CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE? IHAVE REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL PACK, CHECKED CYLINDER COMPRESSION, CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND FUEL INJECTOR AND I STILL HAVE THE PO304 CODE ENGINE MISFIRE CYLINDER #4??? I AM SO FRUSTRATED WHAT ELSE COULD I BE MISSING TO CLEAR THIS CODE ISSUE?

WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL TWO LANE HIGHWAY, WITHOUT WARNING DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, AIR CONDITIONER CHANGED TO HEAT, DVD PLAYER TURNED OFF, AND WHEN ACCELERATOR PRESSED VAN ACCELERATED ERRATICALLY. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED THE VAN OFF. THE VAN WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE DIODES IN THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. WHEN LOOKING UP INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM I FOUND THAT THIS SAME PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT IN THE ROUTAN. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE MY BRAKES WENT OUT. I HAD TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN. WHILE IDLING, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHUT OFF.

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.
