What owners wrote
My children and I were stationary at a light when the van started sputtering. When the light turned green I accelerated. Within 5 minutes the van cut off. I have a full tank of gas. This now happens often and I never know where or when it will cut off. Most days it will not start. I have had a VW mechanic take a look and they advised its the fuel pump relay same that was recalled on the dodge and jeep vehicles. Because this is the same one but in VW body
My tipm modules of the car is causing a lots of problems and that has affected my fuel pump, battery, and starter.I have to replace a new fuel pump,a new battery and a new starter and still the same problem is still persisting.
