While driving the vehicle flashed several of the dashboard waring lights, starting dinging and then stopped, started flashing and dinging again then the vehicle completely turned off. I was able to pull over out of traffic but the vehicle would not restart. None of the interior lights would come one and the emergency lights would not come on. I could not unlock any of the doors. The battery has been replaced with in the last year and is working correctly.

After getting wires regrounded at the mechanic, the car continues to malfunction. The wiper blades turn on, the entire dash blinks, the seat moves back and forth, resetting repeatedly. If seat is disconnected for safety, the seatbelt does not register as secured. Eventually doors stop functioning, have completely lost lock function, tried replacing battery and sending to mechanic specialist. Still the car malfunctions at random.

FIVE TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS THE POWER IN THE VAN BASICALLY TURNS OFF. THE STEERING BECOMES NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE AND THE BRAKES BECOME EXTREMELY TIGHT TO THE POINT YOU CAN'T EVEN USE THEM. IT IS TERRIFYING TO HAVE ZERO CONTROL OVER YOUR CAR CONSIDERING I HAVE 4 CHILDREN. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GOING ONLY 30MPH AND ALSO WHEN I WAS GOING 45 MPH. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M GOING STRAIGHT AND HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE TURNING. SINCE THE LATEST ISSUE I REFUSE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE THAT I CAN'T TAKE BACK ROADS TO.

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES THAT KEEP OCCURRING THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED. FIRST, SOMETIMES WHEN I START THE VEHICLE EVERY SINGLE LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL BE LIT UP, THE WIPERS WILL BE ON, THE RADIO WON'T WORK, AND NONE OF THE GAUGES WILL BE WORKING. I HAVE TO USE MY GPS JUST TO KNOW WHAT MY SPEED IS SINCE THE SPEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK. I ALSO CAN'T TURN ON MY DEFROST WHEN THIS HAPPENS SO I'M STUCK SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT WAITING. EVENTUALLY IT WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH BACK TO NORMAL AND THEN EVERYTHING WORKS. MY SECOND ISSUE IS THAT I WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED IN A ROUNDABOUT ONCE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH! I LOSE IGNITION, POWER STEERING, EVERYTHING. I HAVE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. ONE OF THESE DAYS THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A CRASH AND THEN I WILL BE SUING VOLKSWAGEN WHEN MY BABIES GET INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THESE VANS!

THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING YET VW REFUSES TO ADMIT IT IS A PROBLEM. MY ELECTRICAL WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WILL NORMALLY LOOSE ANYTHING ELECTRICAL, THROTTLE, SOMETIMES POWER STEERING. THEN THE ELECTRICAL COMES BACK ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER COME ON. IT WILL CONTINUALLY DO THIS, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY. THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DENY THIS UNTIL SOMEBODY IS KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. I BOUGHT MY 2009 VW ROUTAN USED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS DODGING REPLACING THE TPIM/IGNITION SWITCH, PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE. VW SHOULD ALSO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS SINCE IT IS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE. PLEASE IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE A VW ROUTAN WITH THIS ISSUE, MAKE A REPORT AND BRING THIS TO LIGHT.

WE PURCHASED THIS USED IN FEBRUARY 2019 AND HAVE SINCE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE RADIO, BACKUP CAMERA, AND DVD PLAYER NOT WORKING. RECENTLY THE CAR NOW JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN ROAD, POWER STEERING FREEZES AND BRAKES ARE VERY LIMITED WHICH WAS VERY SCARY. IT HAPPENED EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY AND I THOUGHT THAT THE ISSUE WAS BEHIND US AND OUR MECHANIC COULDN'T REPLICATE IT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY RECALLS. AS OF TODAY I CONTACTED VW AND THEY SAID THAT OUR VAN IGNITION SWITCH WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED AS PART OF THE RECALL AND IT IS NOW OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WARRANTY CAN'T LAST FOREVER, BUT THIS IS NOW OCCURRING FREQUENTLY 4 MORE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, NORMALLY JUST AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING TAKING OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT RESTARTS WHEN PUT IN PARK, BUT THE STARTING PROCESS CRANKS MORE THAN USUAL. DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION IT IS MERELY AN ANNOYANCE OR EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO WARNING, JUST TURNS OFF AND THE STEERING STIFFNESS IS THE FIRST INDICATION. THE VAN IS NOW PARKED AS IT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE.

EVEN AFTER REBUILDING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO REVERSE, THERE IS A PAUSE, THEN A JARRING AS IT SLIPS INTO R GEAR; BUT EVERY TIME ACCELERATION IS ATTEMPTED IN R, THERE IS A DELAY, FOLLOWED BY CONSISTENT LAG; IF ATTEMPTING TO R UP AN INCLINE, IF SPEED IS NOT ALREADY OVER A SPECIFIC MINIMUM, VEHICLE THEN ASSUMES ACTION AS IF IT IS IN N. EVEN AN INCLINE SLOPE OF SIMPLY BACKING INTO A DRIVEWAY, IF VEHICLE IS NOT ENTIRELY ACROSS THE INCLINE, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE CONTROLLING A REVERSE MOVEMENT, THOUGH ENGINE RESPONDS AS THOUGH IN N. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE; THAT HAS PERSISTED EVEN AFTER REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT BEGAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO; IS THAT THE DOOR'S LOCKING MECHANISMS FOR SEVERAL OF THE DOORS, NO LONGER OPERATE PROPERLY. LOCKING VIA KEY FOB, OR DOOR PANEL, DOES NOT ACTUALLY ENGAGE THE DOOR TO LOCK. NOR DOES UNLOCKING THE DOORS VIA KEY FOB, OR DOOR PANELS.

I JUST PURCHASED THE 2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN. I HAVE HAD IT 3 WEEKS IT RANDOMLY DIED WHEN TEST DRIVING THE VAN AND ALL THE ALARMS AND LIGHTS CAME ON. WE JUST THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE THE FOB IN RIGHT. THEN IT STARTED TO RANDOMLY NOT START, EVEN THE REMOTE START WILL NOT WORK. THE LIGHTS, RADIO, ALARM, WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WORK LIKE THEY NORMALLY SHOULD. USUALLY IF I WAIT LIKE 20 MINUTES AND KEEP TRYING THE KEY (TAKING IT OUT OF THE IGNITION AND REINSERTING IT) UNTIL IT STARTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR 7 DAYS. THURSDAY 10/10/2019 NOTHING WORKED LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT AND STILL NOTHING TRIED TO JUMP IT AND IT FINALLY STARTED. TOOK TO PLACE I PURCHASED JD BYRIDER IN JANESVILLE, WI AND THEY BELIEVE IT WAS THE STARTER BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TURNING AND IT WAS REPLACED ON 10/11/2019. THEN 2 HOURS LATER THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE DEALER CAME TO RESCUE ME AND WE TRIED THE ACTUAL KEY AND AT FIRST IT DIDN'T WORK, WE PUSHED THE GAS AND IT AS AS THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BUT STARTED. THEN DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 26 FROM JOHNSON CREEK, WI TO JANESVILLE, WI, IT WAS MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE. WE COULD HEAR IT THROUGH THE HEATING VENTS. THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT KEPT DINGING. WHEN I GOT TO JANESVILLE, I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE ON ALL THE TIRES AND IT WAS FINE. BECAUSE I LIVE IN ROCKFORD, IL, I DROVE DOWN I90 AND THE CAR AT TIMES STARTED SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING DIED. AGAIN, TODAY IT WON'T START NOT EVEN WITH AN ACTUAL KEY. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS NOT WORKING AND HAD TO HAVE A PART ORDERED. THE VEHICLE HAS 129,000 MILES.

VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT START EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE TRY'S. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF DURING DRIVING EVENTS CITY AND HIGHWAY. ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON. INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY DURING DRIVING. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TO A VW DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSES, NOR REMEDY THE ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $2,000 FOR THESE VW DEALER VISITS. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT BY CHRYSLER FOR VW AND CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TIPM FOR THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES. VW REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE TIPM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF DURING DRIVING AND ALL POWER AND BRAKING FUNCTIONS ARE LOST. AT THIS TIME, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1,500 TO HAVE VW REPLACE THE TIPM IN THE HOPES THAT IT RESOLVES THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND KEEPS MY FAMILY SAFE. NHTSA MUST INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND REALIZE THAT IT APPLIES TO VW ROUTAN VEHICLES BUILT BY THEM AS WELL, AND FORCE VW TO RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THE ISSUE AT THEIR COST AND PROVIDE FULL REIMBURSEMENT TO ALL ROUTAN OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT ACTIONS ARE NHTSA TAKING ON THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE?

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IN 2018 OUR 2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN WOULD NOT START, WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK CORRECTLY, ETC. ON NOVEMBER 10TH, 2018, OUR 2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN WAS STATIONARY AND WOULD NOT START AT ALL. CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. TOW TRUCK DRIVER MESSED WITH THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO START IT AND WE DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED OUR VEHICLE ON 11/10/18. THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED US THAT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE "WIN MODULE" AND THEY WOULD CONTACT VOLKSWAGEN FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT RECEIVE THE PART UNTIL 11/15/18 AND THE PART WAS USED/PROGRAMMED FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE THEREFORE IT WAS UNABLE TO BE INSTALLED IN OUR VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP THEN PROVIDED US WITH A LOANER VEHICLE AND CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN FOR YET ANOTHER UNUSED PART. IT IS NOW 11/28/18 AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE OUR VEHICLE. THE PART WAS RECEIVED AND INSTALLED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY WILL NO LONGER HOLD A CHARGE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO PUT A NEW BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE AND WE WILL HAVE TO PAY $150.00 FOR THE BATTERY AND INSTALLATION. WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS RECALL. MY HUSBAND LOST 2 DAYS OF PAY. WE HAD TO RELY ON 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO GET MY HUSBAND TO AND FROM WORK. I AM DISABLED AND HAD SURGERY ON 10/23/18 AND UNABLE TO GET TO PHYSICAL THERAPY LET ALONE LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR A WEEK BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T HAVE ANY AVAILABLE LOANER VEHICLES UNTIL 11/15/18. THIS HAS BEEN A DANGER TO MY FAMILY/CHILDREN AND A GREAT INCONVENIENCE. TODAY 11/28/18 I AM CALLING THE ACTUAL VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND THE GRIEF/EXPENSE THEY HAVE CAUSED MY FAMILY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF VOLKSWAGENS RELIABILITY STANDARDS BUT WE WILL NOW NEVER PURCHASE FROM THEIR COMPANY AGAIN. AS OF TODAY 11/28/18 WE STILL DO NOT HAVE OUR VEHICLE RETURNED!
