Routan

  • 659 miles
The contact owns 2010 Volkswagen Routan. The contact stated that the transmission and steering goes out on the vehicle. The vehicle will stop while driving at any speed and the steering will fail. If the vehicle is turned off and re-started the transmission will work, but the vehicle will continue to shift very hard and there is a loud banging sound and it feels like someone hit the vehicle. The vehicle gives no warning before the failures occur. The dealer has inspected the vehicle and stated that they cannot find any problems with the transmission. The failure mileage and current mileages was 659.
