2010 Volkswagen Routan

MY CAR STOPPED WORKING. THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. WE TEST THE BATTERY AND AULTINATOR, FUSE AND STARTER. WE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. WE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VAN FOR THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE VOLKSWAGEN COMPANY AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY HAD A DEALERSHIP TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THERE IS A $600.00 CHARGE FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIX. I TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE VAN BUT HE STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T MATCH. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN 2010 FROM OCTOBER 2019 TO JUNE 2020. MINE IS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2020 WITH THE SAME IGNITION PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK APPROX. 30-35 MILES PER HOUR AND MY VAN DIED. I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. LUCKILY I WASN'T SERIOUSLY INJURED. THERE WAS NO WARNING. NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WITHIN A SPAN OF LESS THAN 2 YEARS IVE ALREADY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, THE BATTERY, AND THE ALTERNATOR IS STILL NEW AND UNDER WARRANTY. THE IGNITION/POWER WINDOWS FUSE CONSTANTLY NEEDS ADJUSTING SO I CAN ROLL MY WINDOW UP OR DOWN. ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY AS WELL. SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DIE ON ME WHILE DRIVING DUE TO MANUFACTURERS ISSUES. AFTER READING OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES IM VERY CONFIDENT ITS THE TIPM. SOME COMPLAIN THAT THIS COSTS PEOPLE $1 000S ON A CHANCE THAT YOU CAN GET A COUPLE MORE YEARS OUT OF IT. THE VAN WANTS TO TURN OVER AND CONTINUES CRANKING WHEN KEY FOB IS IN IGNITION BUT DOESN'T TURN OVER. I CANNOT GET IT TO START AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE KEY DISENGAGED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO HIS DESTINATION.

ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.*DT*JB*DT*JB

AROUND 108000 MILES, MY 2010 ROUTAN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING INTO GEARS 2, 3, 4. SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS SMOOTHLY BUT MORE OFTEN IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO JERK ALL PASSENGERS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TRIED ECO MODE WITH SAME RESULTS. DRIVING NORMAL IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE THAN WHEN SPEEDING UP QUICKLY. 3RD GEAR IS THE WORST AND IS HARD ENOUGH TO THROW YOU FORWARD CAUSING YOU TO SWERVE SOMETIMES. IT'S THE SAME RESULTS IN TOWN, ON HIGHWAY, AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. NOW HAS 129000 MILES AND GETTING WORSE. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT UP AND WOULD OVER REV BEFORE SHIFTING UP. *TR
