| 2010 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | VW HAS A RECALL ON 2010 ROUTAN VANS ON A PART CALL A WINN MODULE WHICH CONTROLS THE CAR IGNITION. OUR VAN IS ON THE RECALL LIST AND HAS SHUT-OFF TWICE IN TRAFFIC. YOU HAVE NO ENGINE POWER AND LOSE POWER STEERING. ON LOW SPEED ROADS NOT AS BIG A PROBLEM AS ON A FREEWAY WERE IT COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. OUR VAN HAS BEEN AT SOUTH TOWN VW AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 8 WEEKS FOR A PART THAT SHOULD COME IN NEXT WEEK. RICHARD THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SOUTH TOWN FINALLY ADMITTED THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WOULD COME IN. SO I CALLED VW CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE, ONE SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA THERE WAS A BACKORDER, I INFORMED HIM THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAD 30 VANS WAITING FOR THE PART, AT ONE DEALER IN UTAH. FINALLY TODAY, AFTER A WEEK A VW MANAGER NAMED ERIK WALOWKSI CALLED MY WIFE AND SAID THEY HAD NO ETA ON THE PART AND THEY WERE STILL RESEARCHING THE KIND OF BACKORDER IT IS. WHAT A RELIEF THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PART WILL COME IN AND I HAVE A FAMILY VAN THAT WILL QUIT IN TRAFFIC. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS BACKORDER PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED AT BY SOMEONE OTHER THE VW BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK YOU *TR |
| 2011 | SERVICE BRAKES | SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THE FRONT BRAKES CAUSED A VIBRATION/ WOBBLE AT SPEED WHEN BRAKING, THIS WAS WITH LESS THAN 9000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. NOW AGAIN AT LITTLE MORE THAN 24000MI. WE ARE TAKING THE VAN IN FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKES AND ROTORS. I'M TOLD BY MY ORIGINAL DEALER THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE. *JS |
