2011 Volkswagen Routan Complaints

THIS VEHICLE IS BASICALLY A CHRYSLER/DODGE WITH VW BRANDING, AND ONE OF THE KEYS IS EVEN A DODGE KEY. IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TIPM AND FUEL RELAY MODULE THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011 CHRYSLER AND DODGE VANS. SEE FUEL PUMP RELAY RECALL NHTSA 14V-530. I'M ASKING THAT IT ALSO BE RECALLED FOR THE 2011 VW ROUTAN SINCE IT'S VERY DANGEROUS THAT MY CAR COULD STOP AT ANY MOMENT. I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY VAN FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN NEW JERSEY WHO NEGLECTED TO EVEN INFORM ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I INFORMED THEM THAT I'D BE DRIVING THE CAR CROSS COUNTRY. WHEN I WAS IN GEORGIA THE CAR STARTED CRANKING, BUT WOULDN'T START AND IT HAS HAD THIS SAME INTERMITTENT ISSUE SINCE I ARRIVED IN FL. IT TOOK A WHILE FOR US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS EVEN WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE WHEN THE AUTO SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC, NO CODES WERE RETURNED. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT THE ISSUE TO OCCUR AGAIN, THEY FOUND THAT TAPPING ON THE FUEL RELAY MODULE IN THE TIPM WOULD ALLOW THE CAR TO START....

HARD START CAUSED BY FUEL PUMP NOT ENGAGING. ENGINE SHUTDOWN AT STOPLIGHTS. ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMP RELAY. FUEL PUMP RELAY IS FULLY INTEGRATED AND IS COSTLY TO REPLACE. VOLKSWAGEN DOES NOT SUPPORT THE VEHICLE AND CHRYLSTLER WHO MADE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE FIRMWARE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

MY 2011 VE TOUTAN MINIVAN WILL RANDOMLY CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. VW ROUTANS ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING IGNITION AND TIPM ISSUES BUT VW WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE ISSUES.

2011 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN ENGINE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT DOWN DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, RESULTING IN NO ENGINE POWER, NO POWER STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. THIS OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION FROM STATIONARY IDLING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE.*DT*DT*DT*JB *TP

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE IN ILLINOIS AND WAS PUSHING THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. FINALLY IT KIND OF JOLTED FORWARD AND STARTING MOVING BUT IN A JERKY KIND OF WAY. BROUGHT IT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY SAID IT WAS A WARRANT ISSUE TAKE IT THE THE DEALER. DID THAT THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANT AND I PAID 1000 BUCKS TO GET IT FIXED SO I THOUGHT. HAPPENED AGAIN AND WENT BACK AND THEY SAID IT WILL NOT DO IT SO IT IS FINE. DROVE TO ARIZONA TO MOVE HERE AND AFTER A WEEK OF BEING HERE HAPPENED AGAIN. HUSBAND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. 2ND TIME SAID IT WAS A KNOWN RECALL THEY COULD NOT GET THE CODE FROM CORPORATE, 3RD TIME SAME EXCUSE. AND NOW TRYING AGAIN AND THEY KEEP SAYING THEY CAN NOT GET THE CODE FROM CORPORATE. IT IS A PCM SOFTWARE RECALL.
