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.
