2009 Volkswagen Routan

ALL WARNING/SERVICE LIGHTS ON THE DASH PANEL LIGHT UP, SOUND ALARMS, AND BLINK. THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER ALL GO TO "0" SO I AM UNAWARE OF MY SPEED. BLINKERS AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS DO NOT WORK. THIS FIRST HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THEY REPAIRED SOMETHING TO WHERE IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THEN IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN. THE LIGHTS ALL TURNING ON WILL HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A WEEK NOW. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S PROBABLY RELATED TO THE RECALL CURRENTLY IN PLACE FOR MY VEHICLE, THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR. OF WHICH, MY CAR HAS BEEN EFFECTED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AS MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF AT RANDOM TIMES GOING 35+ MPH. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE JULY 2014 AND THERE IS NOT YET A REMEDY. I HAVE 3 YOUNG KIDS THAT I HAVE WITH ME ALL OF THE TIME AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVING ON THE HWY SINCE THIS OFTEN HAPPENS AT THOSE TIMES. *TR

HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START...HAD BEEN DRIVEN APROX 30 MILES/COOLED JUST WOULD CLICK, WOULD RESTART AFTER TIME GIVEN, TAKEN TO DEALER NO PROBLEMS FOUND, IT HAS DONE THIS 4 MORE TIME SINCE, IS PART OF THE RECALL 14V-396. HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER PURCHASED FROM AND VW DEALERSHIP AND PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED THEREFORE IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS AND NO SOLUTION FOUND....SUSPECT IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE RECALL BUT IS NOT THROWING OUT ANY CODE. VW STATES THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACED BECAUSE THERE IS NO CODE AND IF WHIN MODULE NONE ARE AVAILABLE PLUS THE RECALL STATES REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE. VW REP SAID WE COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET, AND THEN IF LATER FOUND OUT TO BE UNDER THE RECALL THEY WOULD REIMBURSE...WHICH IS TOTALLY A LIE SINCE THERE ARE NO WHIN MODULES AVAILABLE AND THAT ISN'T A KNOWN FIX. I FIND IT TOTALLY ABSURD THAT THEY REALLY THINK WE SHOULD BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE A FAILURE MAY HAPPEN AT ANYTIME, SPEED, AND MAY CAUSE A CRASH. THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT VALUE THE LIVES IN THE VEHICLE IS VERY DISCOURAGING. HAVE SUGGESTED THEY REPLACE VEHICLE OR PAY THE LOAN AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS DOUBTFUL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TYPICALLY AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH THE VEHICLE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AND ELECTRICAL POWER AT THE DASH IS LOST. VEHICLE WILL RESTART AFTER IT SHUTS DOWN. PROBLEM IS NOT CONSISTENT. DEALER CAN NOT VERIFY THE COMPLAINT, THEREFORE CAN NOT REPAIR. NHTSA RECALL 14V396 APPEARS TO BE THE CORRECTION FOR THE ISSUE. DEALER WILL NOT PERFORM THE RECALL UNTIL THEY DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN 5 DAYS. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. TRIED USING ANOTHER KEY WITH NOTHING ON KEY CHAIN AND STILL HAPPENS. I ALSO TRIED TO GIGGLE KEY WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND RUNNING BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE LOSE OF POWER. THIS IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIMITED STEERING AND BRAKING WHEN ENGINE STALLS. VW WEB-SITE SAYS RECALL IS PENDING. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!!! *TR
