Every once in a while the car does not start, everything works including the windows, lights but engine does not start. i have had battery, alternator, and starter replaced, and it is still doing it. hard for repair shop to diagnose because it doesn't do it when it's there. most of the time it finally starts after about 8 to ten times of periodically turning the key. the vehicle is stationary when this happens.
It turns on all the lights on the dashboard saying it needs auto assist service there is no problem with it the dealer cannot take care of it because they don't take care of volkswagen routan no more
The engine stalls as the vehicle is driven and it locks the steering wheel. this happens while car in motion,noticed a previous recall for this issues however it seems to be happening again and i don't think my vin was included in recall.
Vehicle has failed to start on multiple occasions. the vehicle has been to the dealership as well as other repair shops on several occasions. no one could diagnose the issue since it was occurring intermittently. we have had the battery and starter replaced in hopes of correcting the underlying issue. the car has also stalled once while slowing down. the various lights on the console flashed and the dvd player quit working after this episode. after online research we now believe it might be an issue with the tipm and will have this tested.

This complaint involves a well-maintained minivan with 65,000 miles and an engine that quits unexpectedly while in motion, disabling the power steering and brakes. as described in the defect notice (part 573 filing), published 3/1/2011 and amended 5/10/2011, citing recall code 28g/u8, this minivan falls within the applicable vin range and build dates however, volkswagen refuses to cover the repair under the recall. the problems with the vehicle began approximately six months ago when the engine quit numerous times, mostly when stationary, right after starting, but twice when in motion in freeway traffic. in all cases, the key was untouched and remained in the on position and the dash lights remained on. likewise, in all cases, after jiggling the key, the vehicle restarted and ran normally. about four months ago, a new problem surfaced whereby the engine would not start until we wiggled the key for between two and twenty minutes. most recently, at the end of a trip, the vehicle will not shut off. the engine continues to run, even with the key removed. this problem prompted us to deliver the car to our local vw dealer on 12/26/2018 and their diagnostic ...

Esp abs light illuminates while car is in motion and the car will not shift out of gear when stopped as if the break is not detected. have to shut car off in the middle of traffic or drop of lines and turn back on several times to clear error and get shifter to shift to drive gear. used snap on reader to check codes and does not recognize car as vw, instead it pulls up chrysler town and country. tried to replace a break light module, the part was actually for a dodge neon. (i am only owner, bought van brand new). symptom came back after two days. code reader cannot find anything causing code trigger. also key doesn't always work in ignition switch, must sometimes try to turn on 3 times. this has occurred since purchase. amazed at all these safety issues and yet vw does nothing. $34,000 car and i am going to have to replace it already. only 66,000 miles on the car. transmission rebuilt by vw at 12,000 miles, rotors changed at 9,000 miles, motor parts rebuilt at 35,000 miles. car burns 6 quarts of oil every 4,000 miles. van doors will shut on ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 volkswagen routan. while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle intermittently stalled. once the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (flow volkswagen, 5011 new centre dr, wilmington, nc 28403, (910) 392-3889) where it was diagnosed that the win module /ignition switch needed to be replaced; however, the parts were on backorder. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the vehicle should be covered under nhtsa campaign number: 11v151000 (electrical system). the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 181194533, but no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 80,000. the vin was not available.

Our van has stopped without warning while driving it (in motion on a side street and has felt like it might stop on the highway) and it now won't start after fixing both the battery and starter. there are no warning lights on and for some reason the vin is not included in the recalls that have been active for other 2010 routans with the same problems.
