general problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Routan

Car is stalling out while driving with no warning. Doesn't matter the rate of speed I'm going it just cuts out. Can't turn steering wheel. No codes pop up. No mechanics can pinpoint issue. I have seen quite a few thousand people complaining of the same issue and reported it to vw as well as NHTSA and no one will do a recall. Chrysler did a recall for this same issue but not vw. This is a safety issue for not only the owner but other drivers on the road. If I get into an accident or cause one I will be suing NHTSA as well as vw for no recall being done. I have printed out over 100 pages of complaints from others for evidence of complaints. I have already entered the class action lawsuit with others having the same issue. Recall the issue or face lawsuits.

Vehicle has experienced stalling, engine shutdown, and difficulty starting multiple times. Engine has now stalled more frequently at both low speeds and while driving on highway. Each time, rpm's have gone to zero and it's completely lost power to steering. I've had try and coast/navigate safely to side of road, berm, etc. , stop, and restart the van. At times the dash lights will flash, other times there is no indication that a failure had occurred, just no power/rpms. No check engine light remains, no codes displayed, nothing. The local Volkswagen dealer will not even address the issue as they deem it a "Chrysler problem". We now take it to an independent mechanic and replaced the crankshaft & camshaft position sensors, key fobs, battery, and have done all preventative maintenance. The problem still remains. There are similar complaints (vw, Chrysler, & Dodge) for this exact engine & symptoms that may be related to the tipm, the main control module. This is a very serious safety issue as it random and causes a complete shutdown of vehicle while in motion and loss of operator control.

Mileage 106,000 2012 Routan but issues have been present since purchase at 96000. Vehicle stalled and lost all power approaching stop light. Vehicle has starting problems as well, will not react to start command. The aforementioned occurences are random and most likely related to tipm which is well known defect at Chrysler and actually was recalled but not by vw. In addition issues with cam/crankshaft sensor and misfire fault codes. Nhtsa has allowed volkswagon to sweep and hide the tipm issue under the rug, meanwhile Chrysler and Dodge addressed the defective part a part which is also in the Routan as well. Stalling and losing power randomly is a potential "death" event. Can't believe they haven't recalled this. Where is the regulation??.

Have had the coils replaced and the spark plugs and other work done and the car still shakes on idling. Very frustrating and this is causing the check engine light to stay on? when is the recall happening, there are tons of issues to other Routans!.

Takata recall. Having problems starting van on first try. Van will stall a few times before starting. Sometimes the battery is drain. Battery has been tested=good! this has been happening for 3 months. I after reading and researching I come to a conclusion that it is the tipm fuel relay!.
