VW ROUTANS ARE KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE OR "TIPM" FAIL CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO SHUTDOWN. THIS FAILURE IS RANDOM AND HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. MY PERSONAL VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND LOSING ALL POWER. THE ENGINE DID RESTART AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION SWITCH AND DROVE FINE AFTERWARDS. THE ROUTAN IS A JOINT VENTURE VEHICLE WITH CHRYSLER WHO HAS HAD THE SAME "TIPM" ISSUES AND HAS ISSUED RECALLS TO CORRECT THE SAFETY CONCERN AS THIS EVENT COULD HAPPEN WHILE GOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS HARM TO THOSE INVOLVED. VW USA HAS ALREADY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT RECOGN
