Ignition Module problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Routan

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 kids even though they are supposed to stop when something is in the way. Worst car I have ever bought, and vw doesn't care to resolve all these issues customers have.

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.

While driving at 70 mph on the interstate the van shut-off with out warning. There are no check engine lights. The only warning light was the loss of the traction control. I was able to move the van to the shoulder even with the loss of steering. It took several tries, but I was able to restart the van. This has happened in the past at low speeds. The egr valve was replaced two months ago. I have also replaced the integrated power control module in the past 1. 5 years. I have also have issues of the van not wanting to start. I turn the ignition key and there is no response from the van. It is as if I am not even trying to start the van. This is a huge safety issue. Search the internet and you will find this is a common issue. I am disappointed that there has not been a safety recall on.

Several times over the last year when I go to start my van I turn the key and all the lights come on, on the dash yet the vehicle does not start. There is no noise associated with this incident. It can take several tries to get the van to start. Last fall I had the integrated power control module replaced after total failure. This caused the van to loose all power. It was a silver paperweight. Before then and since then, there have been intermittent electrical issues mostly centering around the ignition. I have a concern that one day it will not start and I will be stranded with my children.

I received a letter informing me that my wife's vw Routan had a recall on the win module / ignition. I set up an appointment to have the recall taken care of. The vehicle was there for two days and I was told they couldn't get the parts and to come pick it up. When I got home I researched the recall and found that the ignition can turn off while driving. Since then my keys have gone bad which needed to be replaced at a cost to me and I still don't have a date that parts will be received. The vw corporate office was unable to give me an estimated date in which they could get the new ignition to a dealer for the recall. The vw has now been sitting in the driveway waiting for repair for over 3 months. The corporate office just wants the dealership to diagnose what caused the keys to stop working and won't answer my questions about the recall. The vehicle is unsafe for my wife and children to travel in.

Vw has a recall on 2010 Routan vans on a part call a winn module which controls the car ignition. Our van is on the recall list and has shut-off twice in traffic. You have no engine power and lose power steering. On low speed roads not as big a problem as on a freeway were it could be life threatening. Our van has been at south town vw and we have been waiting for 8 weeks for a part that should come in next week. Richard the service manager at south town finally admitted they had no idea when the part would come in. So I called vw corporate and spoke with multiple people, one said they had no idea there was a backorder, I informed him the dealer said that they had 30 vans waiting for the part, at one dealer in utah. Finally today, after a week a vw manager named erik walowksi called my wife and said they had no eta on the part and they were still researching the kind of backorder it is. What a relief that they have no idea when part will come in and I have a family van that will quit in traffic. Is it possible for this backorder problem to be looked at by someone other the vw before someone gets hurt. Thank you.
