Routan

  • 64,000 miles
Drivers side low beam keeps blowing out, when taken to volkswagon dealership was told recommendation was for them to replace front wiring harness, I was told would have to leave vehicle with them for two days. Van is under warranty, would cost me a $100 deductable. Van only has 65 thousand miles on it. If it is an electrical problem has any other complaints been filed. This van was last joint Venture between Dodge and volkswagon. They couldnt order wiring harness it had to be made as I was told they didnt make parts anymore for this vehicle.
