Vehicle has been moving and will suddenly shut down while driving. all power steering, braking and electrical systems go out. i have to try to manually swerve off the road and put the car in park. take the key out of the ignition and restart. i understand that this problem had been fixed in 2015 under a recall with the win module and vw indicates that since it's been fixed they only offer a 12 month warranty. for me to get a new win module, the dealership said it would be $2,000 and a long estimated time without the car. this car is blue booked as only worth $3,500.00. this is again a faulty piece that should be covered by the recall. the car only has 75k miles. there's no reason to have a car with 75k miles and need two win modules so far. i want this to be in writing that when i am driving on i-95 and my car suddenly stalls and my 2 1/2 year old and 4 1/2 year old and myself end up in a casket, it's because of this faulty product which they will not cover again on the recall.
Car electrical system goes crazy, speedometer needle goes crazy. radio turns off and on, then the vehicle turns off completely. it turns on after. sometimes all this happens before turning off, sometimes it turns off suddenly with no warning. have spent a lot of money trying to fix issue with no luck. driving it makes me very nervous but i can't change cars right now. it has happened both on small streets and highway in motion.
The car does not start after a stop. it takes hours before it restarts. replaced battery, starter still same issue. many other vw routan owners have the same issue. the car has power but something is messed up in this car.
The ignition switch has failed multiple times leaving us stranded. we have had the vehicle towed. our mechanic has run multiple diagnostics to no avail, they replaced the starter and we continue to experience ignition failure. at times, the car will start and not go into gear. we have been able to get it into gear by turning it off and back on again, assuming it will turn back on again. there is danger in being stranded far from home with children in the car.
While driving at 65 mph on i35, the car's transmission acted like it slipped into 2nd gear and the tack went to 5000rpm. i tried to just slow down and get off the road, turned the car off and back on when i got to a parking lot. i then started driving again and it appeared to be alright. within a few days it did it a couple times more, this time turning on the check engine light. took it to the dealer and they couldn't duplicate problem in the week they had it. picked it up from the dealership and was about 10 to 15 miles away and it did it again. i took it back to the dealer the next day and it has been there for two weeks. they told me an engineer from corporate came to check it out and during that time they had another car - same year, same style, even same color come into the shop with the same problem and they verified the problem on both of the cars. they said it was the transmission and it is going to cost somewhere around $5000.00 +/- to get it fixed. this is a very dangerous problem and i am hoping that something will be done about it. there are numerous stories on the internet with people in volkswagens that have had the same or similar problems. cannot see why there hasn't been a recall for this problem. they even admitted that they had seen the same or similar problems posted on the internet.
The vehicles stalls out while driving, power steering goes out, brakes stop working....very dangerous - 2015 ignition switch recall (win module) did not fix this problem. chrysler knows this, vw knows this - common problem is 2009-2010 models - these are family vehicles - someone is going to be killed soon because of this issue!
While driving on street or highway or stopped. usually around 20-40mph car stalls. brakes lock up/steering wheel locks up/no control of car at all. all lights indicate car is on, one bell goes off prior and anti-skid light comes on. by then panic cannot control car! put car in park after stopped and it starts right up.
I bought a certified pre-owned 2009 routan. after about a year, the car randomly will not start, it just clicks but will not start. replaced battery. still - car will not start. this has been going on for 3 years. had starter & alternator checked - both good. had the ignition recall done and problem resolved itself for about 3 months - now it started doing this again - randomly will not start. hubby moved a wire under the hood and magically the car started. got home and van will not start! after spending $5,200 on a new transmission - i hate to put any more $$ into this van. has anyone found a fix for this problem - i've seen many have this same issue. talked to a lady at vw repair shop who has been in excess of $3,000 trying to fix this exact same problem. still keeps happening. help!
