2011 Volkswagen Routan Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“I own a 2011 Volkswagen Routan minivan and the ignition switch stops working I know there are a few recalls for this on the 2009 and 2010 years I call vw corporation and they said they can't help me just because there's no recalls on my vehicle the part they used in the previous years is the same that is damage in my vehicle so I don't think is fair and I would like to get some help for this thank you”

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. …”

“Recently the van has given me trouble upon startup. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes, it would start fine. Other times, it would take multiple attempts to start the vehicle. Other times, the vehicle would start, then immediately turn itself off. Sometimes, it would be like there wasn't enough charge to turn the starter, and other times, when it would start then die, it felt like it was running out of gas. After much research, I discovered that the totally integrated power module is the culprit of these issues. …”
