Clock spring failure causing the cruise control to not work. search indicated the same clock spring issue with other vw models in the same year. it is an ongoing problem and the dealer is not willing to help without authorizing hundreds of dollars for troubleshooting.
My complaint is a that my vehicle started out giving me problems getting started then got to the point the engine would just stop while driving and would not allow me to press the break to stop the vehicle. i found that chrysler had recalled the tipm in their vehicles and vw routans (made by the chrysler group) were just no longer made and pushed under the rug...this is my primary mode of transportation and i am a single mother of five minor children...i don't have $1300 to invest in the repair and i reported the issue to vw and to no avail. i'm afraid for mine and my children's lives...the next time we may not be so lucky....i am in hopes that this reaches someone that can help. my children and i were in the vehicle and in a rural area on a straight-away when the engine shut off (without warning) and i could not engage the brakes. i was always advised that vw vehicles were the way to go because vw stood behind their brand...but i find that now that my family is in this situation they can care less. i did report the issue to them and was told they would not stand behind the vehicle. *tr
