While driving along my vehicle will shut completely off. This happens especially on bumpy roads. Sometime the vehicle will shut off right after starting the engine. The only way I can duplicate the problem is to turn the key completely off and restart the vehicle. This problem is very similar to the recall with the 2010 Volkswagens.

The ignition key inadvertently moves into the off or accessory position, the engine will turn off, which then depowers various key safety systems including, but not limited to, air bags, power steering, and power braking. This has happened to me several times including while driving on the interstate and in traffic. I was able to pull over but it is very difficult when power steering and power breaking goes out. I had children in the vehicle several times when this has happened. Per volkswagon website, I removed all keychains or anything that would cause the key fob to be weighed down. When I contacted them, they said my van is not under recall even though it is the same exact issue previous models had been recalled for. The only symptom prior was the check engine light was on.

Thé engine malfunction was observed and confirmed by the mecanicien and the cause was from the manufacture. I'm willing to submit the car for any inspection. The car is still drivable, but I have to report it. I have been trying to call since longtime in vain. Thank.

The tipm is failing which is a common issue with the vehicle make/model. My particular vehicle was not covered under any recalls, however, I have the same tell tale tipm failure issues as all of the cars that were part of the recall. My lights intermittently work which causes a safety hazard. They will either not turn at all, will turn on and start flashing, or will appear to be working as normal until I'm driving and then they will flash off intermittently. This puts anyone in my car as well as oncoming traffic at risk when my lights malfunction at night. The airbag warning indicator light also flashes off and on as well making me think that it may be failing whenever the tipm is not functioning properly. The door locks and windows have also locked/unlocked and opened/closed at random (even when the vehicle is off and has been parked with the power off for hours). I spoke with the mechanic about all of these issues and he verified that it was likely a failing tipm and that it is a well-known issue with the Routan. My vehicle is available for inspection any time. Volkswagen and Chrysler know that this is a common issue and yet they have put their customers in danger by not recalling all of the affected vehicles. I am not sure what date to put as the date of incident as this has been ongoing since I have owned the vehicle. I put the current date (as it happened just today) and mileage, however, please understand that this has been an ongoing issue for years and Volkswagen has failed to include my vehicle in any recalls even though this is a well-known issue.

The drivers headrest airbag deployed while sitting in my garage. Engine had just been started. If this had happened while driving it could have startled driver to the point of loss of control.

I was parked in my garage. When I started the car, the driver headrest exploded forward. If this had happened while driving it could have caused an accident from the sudden movement and loud noise startling me.

It turns on all the lights on the dashboard saying it needs auto assist service there is no problem with it the dealer cannot take care of it because they don't take care of Volkswagen Routan no more.

I was in a pretty bad car accident 4/5/2019 with 6 kids in the car and none of the airbags deployed. . We were I motion when car infront of me tried to avoid the car in front of him. I saw him and I tried to avoid him so my left front hit his rear right side. None of the airbags deployed and now I have a horrible concussion in the hospital!.

Driver air bag has failed twice resulting in high dollar repairs. Brakes go bad extremely fast. Already replaced 2 full sets of brakes and rotors in 2 years; less than 10,000 miles on each set. Vehicle violently jerks when in reverse on a hill. Abnormal amount of popping in steering. Dealer unable to pinpoint problem with jerking or popping.

The key slips out of the on position and the electronic system does not engage. I thought my vehicle was part of the recall issued by vw in 2015 (part 573 safety recall), but when I took it to the dealer to be diagnosed and repaired, I was informed that this recall is VIN specific and my VIN was not a part of the recall and therefore the repair would not be covered by vw. I called vw and they told me the same thing, even though it is the exact same problem that is listed in the recall and the part that needs to be replaced is the win module. I need help!.

Unfortunately my 2011 vw Routan was involved in an accident where it was struck on the passanger side by another vehicle moving at approximately 30mph. As a result of the collision the Routan spun 270 degrees and rolled over. None of the multiple airbags in my vehicle deployed!.

Vehicle completely turns off while driving, losing all control, use of brakes and steering. It has been 4 weeks since the recall was sent out and there is still no fix available, and the company can not give any other information besides they are working on it.

Vehicle stalled several times approximately February 17, 2015. Then finally wouldn't start at all. Emergency road side assistance came got car started. Then while driving dashboard started blinking power was lost car cut off. Had to contact road side assistance again to have cart towed to repair facility. Could not find out problem suggested to be towed to dealer. Dealer couldn't find the problem initially then found it made repairs which I found out later it was partly due to the recall (28h1. ) then approximately the middle of July 2015 car began to stall again when trying to start. Contacted vwoa made arrangement to have recall repair done again. It lasted approximately 7 weeks later September 2015 and once again the car is periodically stalling when trying to start. If this is electrical again if this problem continues to occur will it eventually loose power and disable the car all together and be in a life threatening situation again.

I cannot use or sell my car until airbags are replaced. . I have been waiting now for years for replacement parts!!.
