While driving on highway at 60 mph. Car (2010 volkwaggen routon) suddenly stopped. Tried to start it, I worked and then suddenly stopped again. The car stopped suddenly turned off while driving at 60, I could have been killed. Had to wait 1 1/2 hours to be towed. Turns out problem is in ignition, the part that the key goes into. The part is on back order, have already had to wait over a week. And they are still unsure as to when the part will be in. The problem is a recall item and volkswaggen didn't inform me and when I called they still didn't know about the recall. I found out is was recall by googleing it. They don't have in their system that its a recalled item. Had I been told about recall our lives would not have been in danger. I would love to get out of the lease and really dont want to drive a car from a company that doesn't inform customers of recalls. Called Volkswagen, they are looking into it. There is s.
Routan seemed to jolt/skid when brake was pressed. This would happen approximately every 3rd day. Took it to the dealership and they found the rotors were worned. This I cannot understand when it is a new 2010 which I purchased in August of 2010. I do not comprehend and understand their explanation. The described how the rotor works along with the brake. Bottom line is a more sensible material is being used. They were not replaced only touched up. Makes no complete sense and to me is already a safety hazard. Also there is a ticking sound coming from the engine but they could not detect/find it. I'm to go back and do a test drive with their technician so that I can point out to them the sound. Well today when I started the Routan it has more of a clicking sound which was not there before. I would hear the sound only when the gas pedal was being used. When gas pedal would be released it would go away but now it is a constant sound.
