2010 Volkswagen Routan Engine Problems

“When car is running, either in park or drive, the engine cuts out. We must wait 30 sec to restart. It will then restart. This action happend both when the car is in park and drive. The action happened once in our driveway and once coming out of a carry out driveway.”

“While driving my car, on multiple occasions now, the engine has shut off. The car remains on but the gas and steering do not work. The most recent time I had to quickly pull to the side as I was driving 35mph. I see that there was a recall for our make and model but when we're calling vw, they are saying it did not effect my specific vehicle.”

“Car battery is in good shape because I recently replaced it with a new one. The problem is occasionally I try to start the vehicle and it will not start when the electronic throttle control light is blinking but if I use my car keys to lock and unlock the car, then the electronic throttle control light will go off and car will start. …”

“My mini-van shut off/ stalled while I was driving on the road. Every time it stalled I was driving slowly through construction zone or in front of a light where I had to pressed the brake to stop the car for over 30 seconds. I send it to vw service for repair but no problem was found. I am too scared to drive the car because I never know when its the next time it will stall again while I am driving on the road.”

“Reported issue to vw recall group via telephone 5/13/2019. This is very similar to a recall that took place for vw Routan 2009-2010 that were created between the dates of october 2019 to june 2010. Our vehicle was created in august of 2010, and I suspect the same parts were still used. Two issues have occurred with 2010 vw Routan sel minivan 4.0l issues started occurring after replacing a lost key fob. Key fob was ordered through local vw dealer (bob king vw) and replaced. First issue: car would not start. …”
