I am writing to address a safety issue I have with my vehicle, a 2010 Volkswagen Routan. My husband and I purchased this car last year and shortly after its purchase started to experience electrical issues with the vehicle. These issues included warning lights on the dash illuminating, power failures of the dash board gauges (specifically the speed gauge) and radio, and most alarmingly the car would completely stall and lose power. This issue of losing power to the entire car has happened both while the car is in motion and while it has been stopped at traffic lights, as well as at high and low speeds. We took the car to a local vw dealership hoping they might be able to diagnose the issue and fix it. After nearly 3 weeks of having different parts replaced, being told the issue was solved it was not. When driving the vehicle with only the key in the ignition it performs better, although still dies occasionally, but with anything on the keyring it will die almost instantly. It wasn¿t until after removing our car from this dealership that we learned about a recall on the vw Routans that seemed very similar to the issues we were experiencing. Upon research we discovered that our vehicle was produced within the same month of the recalled vehicles but apparently not before the ending date of that recall. So other vw dealerships would be happy to replace the malfunctioning part but at an out of pocket cost for us, which we simply cannot afford, especially after the bill we are still working to pay for other unnecessary work. As a consumer it is very frustrating to have a vehicle that is clearly demonstrating the same issues as previously recalled vehicles but does not fall under that recall. We have reduced to only driving this vehicle as necessary and no longer use it to transport our two young children as we fear greatly for their safety.

While driving in low gears (2nd, 3rd) car will stall out. Power steering and power brakes no longer functioning, making the care very difficult to manuever. This is especially scary while driving in snow/ice. Making with even more dangerous is stalling while on back roads or curves, if I'm stalled in the middle of the road, another car might not be able to stop and run into me. Jerking movements are also occuring when driving at low speeds when not accelerating, like car is going to stall. VIN is not included in recall, but it is the same problem that was recalled on other 2010 Routans.

My Mini-van shut off/ stalled while I was driving on the road. Every time it stalled I was driving slowly through construction zone or in front of a light where I had to pressed the brake to stop the car for over 30 seconds. I send it to vw service for repair but no problem was found. I am too scared to drive the car because I never know when its the next time it will stall again while I am driving on the road.

I was making a left turn in my 2010 volkswagon Routan VIN# 2v4rw3d17ar388450 onto a busy street and car suddenly stalled out. I lost power steering and nearly jumped the curb and hit a woman with a baby stroller. I had my 3 kids with me in the car ages 5, 4, and 1. Car started back up right away. This problem happened once before when I was driving straight at about 30mph on a residential street but I thought it was a freak incident since the car was brand new with barely 10,000 miles on it. This time it nearly cost people their lives. I took it to the dealer. They kept it for 6 days. Meanwhile I had to use a much smaller loaner car which was not made for a family of five. They told me they couldn't duplicate the problem and that everything seems fine and that there is nothing they can do and if it happens again to make another appointment. Well it happened again. 3 more times in fact. I called up the dealer again. He tried to deter me from going in saying "you can bring it in again but if we cant duplicate the problem then there is nothing they can do. " also made it a point to tell me that they only have small loaner cars available. I also called volkwagon and told them the story. They told me to bring it to dealer. This stalling issue which occurred again on 4/16/2013 is the last straw. I refuse to get into this deathtrap to take it to the dealer. Its a shame the car only has 18000 miles on it yet it is having these issues. I will never buy a volkwagon again. They can send a tow truck. It is very dangerous. I guess legal action is called for here.

While driving on a highway at 65 mph my car suddenly shut off and the steering wheel tighten up. I was in the left lane and was able to get over to the shoulder. I turned the vehicle off and it turned back on with no problem. A second incident occurred 03/09/11 as I was attempting to turn right at an intersection. My steering wheel was so tight that I could not make the turn and had to drift to the other side of the intersection because I had already slowed down to make the turn. Again the car turned back on. My car also frequently stalls immediately upon turning it on but I thought nothing of it until it started stalling while driving. I took it in for service and was told that they could not replicate the problem and that the computer was not indicating a problem. Therefore the car was fine and I should come and pick it up. I informed them when I dropped the car off that I read online that there was a pending recall for the ignition switch that was released on 03/10/11; however, the dealership informed me that they could not replace the ignition switch until the recall was official sometime in April because they would not be reimbursed. I have filed a compliant with vw and am waiting for a response from the regional manager.
