Tipm to be replaced. Vehicle would time to time stall, completely stop while driving it. After a while the vehicle would not even start. One would first think of a battery issue, a fuel pump or a crank sensor whereas the issue is actually the tipm.

Mileage 106,000 2012 Routan but issues have been present since purchase at 96000. Vehicle stalled and lost all power approaching stop light. Vehicle has starting problems as well, will not react to start command. The aforementioned occurences are random and most likely related to tipm which is well known defect at Chrysler and actually was recalled but not by vw. In addition issues with cam/crankshaft sensor and misfire fault codes. Nhtsa has allowed volkswagon to sweep and hide the tipm issue under the rug, meanwhile Chrysler and Dodge addressed the defective part a part which is also in the Routan as well. Stalling and losing power randomly is a potential "death" event. Can't believe they haven't recalled this. Where is the regulation??.
