I have Volkswagen Routan 2010 the car won't start I leave the car for 2 days and now I went to start the car the car don't want to start no crank no power I have to start the car with the jumper cables I have replaced the starter and I test the battery and I test the alternator which are all working fine I don't know what could be the problem I start the car again today and don't want to start now I'm going to change the battery and see what's happen. I am already tired of this car I recently bought it everything is fine with the car but won't start don't do me any good I don't know why I bought this kind of van many people was telling me don't buy Volkswagen go with Honda odyssey or Toyota sienna with the Volkswagen is my worst experience. Never again.
Every once in a while the car does not start, everything works including the windows, lights but engine does not start. I have had battery, alternator, and starter replaced, and it is still doing it. Hard for repair shop to diagnose because it doesn't do it when it's there. Most of the time it finally starts after about 8 to ten times of periodically turning the key. The vehicle is stationary when this happens.
Vehicle has failed to start on multiple occasions. The vehicle has been to the dealership as well as other repair shops on several occasions. No one could diagnose the issue since it was occurring intermittently. We have had the battery and starter replaced in hopes of correcting the underlying issue. The car has also stalled once while slowing down. The various lights on the console flashed and the dvd player quit working after this episode. After online research we now believe it might be an issue with the tipm and will have this tested.
Car has intermittent problems starting. Not an issue with the starter but possibly ignition or electrical system. Some light online research reveals this a a very common issue with this make/model. Car will start fine one time then next it won't . Sometimes it takes two tries, sometimes 15, sometimes it won't start for hours. The issue has occurred two days in a row now. Vw has an obligation to put out products that can safely start and get their customers either to where they need to be or away from an unsafe situation. It's not an issue of proper maintenance, it's an issue of poor and unsafe performance.
Our van has stopped without warning while driving it (in motion on a side street and has felt like it might stop on the highway) and it now won't start after fixing both the battery and starter. There are no warning lights on and for some reason the VIN is not included in the recalls that have been active for other 2010 Routans with the same problems.
