2011 Volkswagen Routan Steering Problems

“Car shut off numerous times while driving. There was no way to turn steering wheel it just stops nothing you can do to keep it running hopefully no one is tailing me because if not I will definitely crash. Mechanic can't seem to find problem. Maybe tipm or key fob? Changed key fob no luck”

I managed to restart the engine and was able to drive but the check engine light was still on. The dealership from whom I bought the vehicle repaired it and told me that everything is fine by having a brand-new set of wiring. A month later, the same life-threatening issue happened again while I was driving. This time, the vehicle stalled and I could not rotate the steering wheel at all. …”
