2012 Volkswagen Routan Complaints

MY CAR WILL CRANK BUT NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IF YOU USE THE KEY FOB YOU CAN GET IT TO START. I HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT BY TWO TECHNICIANS WHO ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS MADE BY CHRYSLER EVEN THOUGH IT'S A VOLKSWAGEN AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER DODGE VANS FROM 2011 AND 2012 THE PROBLEM THEY TELL ME IS WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY THAT WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH 2 CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHILE THE ENGINE DIES DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP STOPPING TO WORK DUE TO A TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE. CHRYSLER AND DODGE DID THE RIGHT THING, STEP UP VW.

VAN RANDOMLY GOES TO 3RD ON THE HIGHWAY. GOING TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE CORRECTS THE ISSUE. VAN WILL NOT START/CRANK RANDOMLY. VAN TURNS OFF ON THE HIGHWAY RANDOMLY. RANDOM "ENTER SECURITY CODE" ON THE NAV SYSTEM. 129K MILES ON IT. CHRYSLER RECALLED CARAVAN'S AND THE TOWN AND COUNTRY FOR THESE SAME ISSUES. THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FILING A COMPLAINT WITH CORPORATE VW TO HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS MASSIVE SAFETY ISSUE AS CHRYSLER HAS DONE. HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLERPROBLEMS.COM/TIPM/

THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, NO CHECK ENGINE, NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BREAKS (I HAVE TO PUT ALL I GOT INTO TRYING TO STEER THE CAR TO JUST PULL OVER!). I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES. TOOK IT TO 3 GARAGES AND THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR NEVER GAVE ANY COMPUTER CODES WHEN IT WOULD SHUT DOWN. THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I'M WONDER HOW VW KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS FAILED TO INFORM THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. IF MY VAN SHUTS OFF ON THE FREEWAY, THIS COULD BE VERY SERIOUS!

DRIVING AT LOW SPEED VAN RACED FORWARD THEN STOPPED ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW WON'T RUN AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT OF A TARGET WHEN HAPPENED
