Volkswagen Routan 2011 Power Train

Volkswagen Routan 2011 Power Train Review #10435306

VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN 2011 car safety problem was reported on Nov 10, 2011.VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN 2011, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . my sister bought a vw routan se 2011 six months ago. recently, we have experienced a "safety problem" with the vehicle especially when we are trying park it on a (steep downhill) between two cars in san francisco. when the transmission is put in reverse and the driver is backing up to park between the two cars on a steep downhill, the vw routan moves forward approximately one foot prior to backing up and we feel abnormal vibrations in the transmission/engine. plus, if you do not press any gas when the transmission is put in reverse, the car acts as if the transmission is put in neutral showing no resistance. this is a safety issue, i might hit the car in front of me so i brought it up to the attention of northern ca vw case manager as well i took it two different vw dealerships (vw oakland and vw serramonte). both dealerships mechanics have admitted there is something wrong. however, the management of vw is claiming that it is normal since the other new 2011 vw routan are performing the same under identical circumstances. the vw case manager stated that in the eyes of vw it is ok for the mini van to move about one foot forward when it's backing up on a steep downhill; it is how it was designed by the engineers. this absolutely an irresponsible way to treat your customer who bought a 2011 vehicle to have a peace of mind at least for the first couple of months of ownership. it puts the life of our citizens in danger. i have no control over the car when it's backing up on a steep downhill. there is no way i can stop it from moving forward about one foot before it starts backing up. let's say someone was crossing the road at the same time i was backing up, who will be held responsible if he/she got hurt. as a government committee, i would like you to investigate this and take action. *tr.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2V4RW3DG6BR. Volkswagen Routan 2011 problem was reported in DALY CITY, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: BIFUEL.

VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 13, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN 2011, manufactured by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. had a problem with STEERING . my 2011 routan suddenly lost power while i, with my kid on board, was driving on a highway in march 2014. can you imagine a vehicle stopping in a flow of vehicles at 70+ mph? all lights were on. i managed to restart the engine and was able to drive but the check engine light was still on. the dealership from whom i bought the vehicle "repaired" it and told me that "everything is fine" by having a brand-new set of wiring. a month later, the same life-threatening issue happened again while i was driving. this time, the vehicle stalled and i could not rotate the steering wheel at all. now the vehicle is again with the dealership for diagnosis. as a matter of fact, about half a year ago before these losses of power happened, i experienced another problem with the vehicle. the acceleration was not very responsive. that is, when i hit the gas pedal, the vehicle initially did not accelerate at all and after 2-3 seconds, it suddenly accelerated. this really frightened me as i tried to change lanes. now i have no confidence with this vehicle at all. i am deeply worried that even if the vehicle is "repaired" this time, i and my family could get injured or killed by having a car that randomly shuts off in the midst a stream of fast-moving vehicles. this type of vehicle should be banned from the road for the safety of innocent people. *js .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.

(was not the problem, fuel pump was not getting power, this was known after installing new fuel pump and it did not work either. i had them test old pump and it does still work so now it⿿s an electrical issue before the fuel pump. then told ecu is bad. computer gave no diagnostic codes, no dash warning lights. found out the (eco)nomy feature may be the culprit but can⿿t get info from dealer. (nhtsa reference #10052670 or tsb reference #tb-20-13-05). when i called the service department and asked them about a tsb, technical service bulletin they sounded like i was speaking a foreign language. then they advised i speak to the shop foreman but he was not there at the time and has not been available to speak on the phone the last 2 days i called. called vw 800# and they do not send them out but you can buy it from there website. strange that such an issue is not covered even if warranty is over. i hope it does not take a complaint filed where they have to click the radio box yes for ⿿was there an injury or fatality⿝? question .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 35000 miles.
