TIRES
THREE WEEKS PRIOR, I'D INSTALLED 4 NEW TIRES. RETURNING HOME FROM DR'S. OFFICE THIS DAY, I HEARD A SMALL 'POP', THEN BEGAN HEARING RUMBLING, THEN REALIZED CAR BEING PULLED TO EDGE OF ROAD. FLAT TIRE? ON A 3 WK OLD TIRE? SURE ENOUGH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT. VERY FORTUNATE FOR LOCATION OF OCCURRENCE, SPEED ZONE, AND DISTANCE TO THE VERY PLACE I'D PURCHASED THE TIRES. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH TPMS. THE SENSOR STEM IS HELD TIGHT TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE RIM WITH A METAL NUT. THE NUT HAD POPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING, THUS THE STEM RETRACTED TOWARDS THE INSIDE THE RIM / WHEEL AND RELEASED ALL THE AIR IN THE TIRE. THE THREADS ON THE STEM WERE CORRODED AWAY AND COULD NO LONGER HOLD THE NUT IN PLACE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE TIRE STORE LOOK AT THE OTHER 3 STEMS / NUTS ON THE OUTSIDE. ONLY ONE OF THE THREE REMAINING NUTS COULD BE LOOSENED. THE OTHER TWO WERE FUSED IN PLACED DUE TO CORROSION. I DECIDED TO HAVE REMOVE THE OTHER 3 STEMS REMOVED AS I DID NOT TRUST THEM ENOUGH TO PUT MY WIFE OR GRANDSONS, OR ANY PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AFTER SEEING WHAT HAPPENED. HAD I BEEN SEEING ONE OF MY OTHER DOCTORS, TAKING ROUTE 531 AT THE 65MPH LIMIT, AND THIS HAD HAPPENED ON ONE OF THE SEVERAL SEVERE CURVES, I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. THE SENSORS ACTUALLY ARE LABELED AS 'CHRYSLER' PRODUCT. I HAVE CALLED BOTH VWCARES AND CHRYSLER AND BROUGHT THIS TO THEIR ATTENTION. I HAVE WARNED AS MANY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THESE TPMS SENSORS AND STEMS, AND ADVISED THEM ALL TO INSPECT THEIRS REGULARLY. OUR SON IS A GM TECHNICIAN AND ADVISED US THAT GM ACTUALLY RECOGNIZED THEY NEEDED TO UPGRADE THEIR VALVE STEMS A FEW YEARS AGO TO PROTECT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED MY 2011 VW ROUTAN THIS MORNING AND AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE QUIT. I HAD ALL ELECTRICAL POWER THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE ORDEAL. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND STARTED IT AGAIN THOUGH IT WAS HESITANT TO START. IT STARTED AFTER 3 SECONDS AND I ALLOWED IT SIT AND IDLE (DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WHILE IDLING AT SMOOTH RPMS). I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY QUIT RUNNING AGAIN. AFTER PLACING THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO PARK, IN DEPERATION I ATTEMPTED A THIRD TRY TO START THE ENGINE AND ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS TIME EVERYTHING WORKED AS NORMAL. AFTER SEEING SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF VERY SIMILAR INSTANCES OF ENGINE SHUTDOWN, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AS TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF THIS MINIVAN. THE ONLY KEY THAT HAS EVER BEEN ON MY KEY RING (AFTER 2.5 YRS OF OWNERSHIP) IS THE KEY FOR MY ROUTAN; I ALWAYS MAINTAIN A SEPARATE RING FOR HOUSE/OFFICE/ETC. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I WILL ENSURE THAT IT GETS FIXED SO THAT I CAN ATTEMPT TO GET AS MUCH RESALE VALUE AS I CAN WHILE PROMPTLY TRADING IN FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN GM OR VW. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR DID NOT LOCK IN OPEN POSITION. INSTEAD, IT OPENED ALMOST ALL THE WAY AND THEN IMMEDIATELY BEGAN CLOSING AGAIN. I WAS ALREADY REACHING INTO THE VAN AT THAT POINT AND HAD TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY QUICKLY AFTER APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE DOOR TO KEEP IT FROM CLOSING ON ME DIDN'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS. VEHICLE WAS SEEN BY A VW DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT STATED IT WAS A KNOWN GLITCH. IT TOOK A LOT OF FORCE FROM ME AS AN ADULT TO TRY TO STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT RIDE REGULARLY IN OUR VAN. "KNOWN GLITCH" IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OCTOBER 30, 2010 - WENT TO START THE VEHICLE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS I HAD NOT ENGAGED THE SHIFT PROPERLY AND THEN RESTARTED. THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON BUT COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT OCCURRING SIGNIFICANTLY UNTIL 2014. TOOK TO OUR DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AS NO INDICATORS WERE TRIPPED AND NO TROUBLE LIGHTS TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM. FREQUENCY OF NOT STARTING HAS BEEN MORE SIGNIFICANT (TWICE A WEEK NOW). TOOK BACK TO DEALER WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL BUT NOT FOR OUR VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHEN USING THE REMOTE START, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER BUT WOULD JUST CLICK (SAME PROBLEM). SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WE ARE EXPERIENCING AS THE RECALL STATES. DEALERSHIP WANTS ALMOST $1000.00 TO REPLACE IGNITION AND GEAR SHIFTER TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. AND THAT IS IF THIS IS THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS ACCORDING TO VW. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE AND IF FOUND TO BE A COMMON DEFECT, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR ALL VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. WE DO NOT KNOW THE CONSUMER SAFETY ELEMENT INVOLVED AND BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE GIVEN GREAT PRIORITY TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION AS MOST VANS AS THIS ARE USED FOR CHILD TRANSPORTATION. WE DRIVE OUR FOUR CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE WHEREVER WE TRAVEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
7/2/14 - AFTER BEING IDLE FOR 1HR THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL REPEAT ATTEMPTS IT DID. IT WOULD CRANK AS NORMAL, NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. 8/8/14 - AFTER 3HRS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING WE STOPPED TO FILL UP WITH GAS. ECO FUEL NEVER USED THE SAME CRANK ISSUE OCCURRED AS 7/2. 8/9/14 - AFTER 8HRS IDLE TIME THE VAN WOULD NOT START UNTIL REPEATED TRIES. I BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT AND SUSPECTED THE TPIM MODULE. 8/10/14 - AFTER 8HRS IDLE TIME THE VAN WOULD NOT START. WHEN IT FINALLY DID I DROVE 1/4 MILE FROM THE HOUSE AND THE VAN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND NORMAL BRAKING ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. CALLED DEALER BACK UP AND BROUGHT BACK INTO DEALERSHIP 8/12/14 WITH EXPECTATION TO HAVE $900 TPIM MODULE REPLACED. DIRECTING THE DEALERSHIP TO LEAVE THE CAR OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT, PUSH IT IN AND THEN HOOK UP TO COMPUTERS FOR EVALUATION THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND LOW FUEL PRESSURE READING FROM THE FUEL PUMP UP UNTIL THE IT FINALLY CRANKED OVER AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. AFTER THE INITIAL START THE VAN WOULD READ NORMAL FUEL PUMP PRESSURES WHILE RUNNING, TURNING IT OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON AGAIN. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WAS RETURNED AND A NEW FUEL PUMP WAS ORDERED FOR 8/19/14 INSTALL. 8/15 - 8/18/14 - THE VAN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING TWICE NOT TO MENTION EVERYTIME IT SAT IDLE IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME START UP ISSUES. 8/19/14 WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED THE FUEL PUMP IT WAS THE WRONG ONE. BUT THE MODEL# AND SERIAL# WERE EXACTLY THE SAME! SO AS IT STANDS THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL THEY IDENTIFY THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON AUGUST 14TH, 2014, I PLACED MY KEY IN THE IGNITION OF MY 2010 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN. THE CAR/ENGINE MADE AN ODD SOUND WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. ADDITIONALLY, THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND MY KEY BECAME PERMANENTLY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HEARD A VERY RAPID "CLICKING" NOISE UNDER THE HOOD SO I OPENED IT AND DISCOVERED THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD WAS THE SOURCE. UPON OPENING IT, I HEARD A VERY FAST CLICKING SOUND AND FELT EACH FUSE AND FOUND THE LARGE FUSE, 2ND FROM THE LEFT FRONT WAS CLICKING VERY FAST AND LOUDLY. I NEEDED THE VEHICLE SO I USED JUMPER CABLES AND THIS EVENTUALLY ENABLED MY CAR'S KEY TO RELEASE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE LIT UP AND I LEFT THE ENGINE RUN FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 MIN., THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR - TO VERIFY IT WOULD START AGAIN. IT DID, AND NOW ONLY THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT THAT LIGHTS UPON AN INCIDENT IS STILL LIT. I CALLED MY CLOSEST VW DEALER, WHO HAS SERVICES MY CAR IN THE PAST, AND THEY CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THE RECALL #66665 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - IGNITION SWITCH - IS NOT APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE. SURE IT ISN'T! EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT IS NOTED IN THE RECALL, BUT SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES AFFECTED. I AM PURSUING THING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, BUT SO FAR ONLY PUSH BACK. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
THE ENGINE TURNED TO OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND DEPOWERED POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. AT THAT POINT I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO VW DEALER, KEPT THE CAR FOR 24 HOURS, AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT SO NOTHING WAS DONE BY THEM. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT 93000 MILES ON AUGUST 8, 2014. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
OUR 2009 VW ROUTAN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES NOW. NOT ONLY DOES IT SHUT DOWN, BUT THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCK AS WELL. ON THE LAST OCCURRENCE, MY WIFE (WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR) CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING A PARKED CAR IN THE STREET. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 VW DEALERS SO FAR IN CHARLOTTE, NC AND THEY STATE: "WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE." UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING AS DANGEROUS AS THIS HAPPENING TO OUR FAMILY CAR. WE HAVE CALLED VW CORPORATE TO HELP 2ND DEALERSHIP WITH A RESOLUTION, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED AT THIS TIME. WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT DO AT THIS POINT, AND SEEMS LIKE BOTH VW AND VW DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF ISSUE, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH IT! PLEASE HELP! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY 2009 ROUTAN 3.8L WILL INTERMIT NOT START / I GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRICAL LIGHTENING BOLT. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO IT STARTED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY. REPLACED MY BATTERY IT WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT 1YR THEN IT STARTED AGAIN HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AGAIN THEN ABOUT 1YR LATER IT STARTED AGAIN BUT MY BATTERY IS TESTED GOOD. I WENT THROUGH 2 BATTERIES IN ABOUT 3 YRS. I EVEN HAD MY STARTER CHECKED AND IT TESTED GOOD. MY FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC SAID WHY IS THE STARTER NEXT TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IT IS GETTING HOT. WHEN I HAVE ISSUE IN THE LAST YEAR IT TAKE ABOUT 30MIN OR LONGER BEFORE IT STARTS THEN I MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES FOR ABOUT 1 OR 2 WEEKS AND SOMETIME I MIGHT HAVE THE ISSUES 2 TIMES IN ONE DAY. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND I AM SEEING MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 2009 VW ROUTAN INTERMIT NOT STARTING. I HAVE CALL VW AND MY VAN IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES STARTED VIBRATING AND SHUDDERING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED. TOOK TO DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THE DISK PADS WERE WORN OUT. STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY REPLACED ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 8 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR. THE FIRST THREE WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD TO FIGHT WITH THE DEALER FOR THE THIRD REPLACEMENT. THE FOURTH REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKES THE DEALER REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. WE HAD TO PAY TO GET THE WORK DONE. WE ARE NOW ABOUT 10 MONTHS FROM THOSE BRAKE REPLACEMENTS AND ONCE AGAIN THE CAR IS SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY WHEN WE APPLY THE BRAKES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC ISSUE AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT BUT I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS EVERY 8/10 MONTHS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. THIS CAR IS PRIMARILY USED TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND ACTIVITIES. UPDATED 5/1/2015 *JS

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER KEEPING IT TWO DAYS, THEY CLAIM THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.
