2011 Volkswagen Routan

WHILE DRIVING ALL OF MY GAUGES BEGAN TO SPORADICALLY MOVE UP AND DOWN AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE ENGINE SURGED SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL. THE AIR CONDITIONER ALSO BEGAN TO BLOW HOT AIR. LATER, WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START THE FIRST FEW TIMES ATTEMPTED. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER OR ANYTHING. ALL OF THE ABOVE EVENTS KEEP CONTINUALLY AND RANDOMLY RECURRING.

CLASSIC CHRYSLER FAILING TIPM SYMPTOMS. THE VW ROUTAN IS MADE ON A CHRYSLER CHASSIS WITH A CHRYSLER ENGINE TO INCLUDE THE TIPM WHEN TRYING TO START,IT WILL TURN OVER BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO GET FUEL BUT WILL USUALLY START AFTER 3-4 TRIES. ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS AND DIES WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT SLOWER SPEEDS (VERY SCARY ON THE HIGHWAY!) AFTER DOING ON-LINE SEARCH FOR "VW ROUTAN WONT START", HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES CAME UP REFERENCING THE BAD TIPM BUT NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

VAN HAS BEEN HAVING HARD TIME STARTING WHEN COLD BATTERY 3 MONTHS OLD. VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ALSO. TOOK TO DEALER THEY STATED BATTERY IS WORN OUT. GOT NEW BATTERY AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF DRAWING LARGE LOAD FROM BATTERY. THEY STATED THE TIPM IS BAD WHICH IS 1400 DOLLARS. THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH ARE ALSO BRANDED AS CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL.

I OWN A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN. I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST OF 2014 WITH 50,000 MILES. IN NOVEMBER 2015, THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. THEN WOULD START RIGHT UP THE SECOND TRY. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE WITHIN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO START. I TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO BE A TIMP FAILURE. I GOT THE VEHICLE REPAIRED COSTING ME $1028.17. IT HAD 69,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPAIR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THERE TO BE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!! SINCE THIS IS THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAS A RECALL FOR THE TIMP MODULE. ALSO THE BRAKES SUCK! MY HUSBAND REPLACED THEM SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT THE VEHICLE AND NEED REPLACING AGAIN.

THE VAN WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS MOST RECENT TIME I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 63 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. I NOTICE THE VAN SHAKE, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO A STOP. THE SAME THING HAPPEND ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. VW CHANGED OUT SOME PARTS AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. JUDGING FROM THE THREADS I'M READING IT'S A PREVALENT PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED. THE VAN IS AT THE DEALER THIS MORNING...I'M WAITING FOR DIAGNOSTICS RESULTS

I PURCHASED THIS VAN IN 2012 WITH 10,000 MILES. IN DECEMBER 2015 WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES, THE FUEL PUMP WILL NOT ACTIVATE AND/OR WILL STAY ON ONCE VAN IS TURNED OFF. THE ENGINE HAS BEGUN TO STUTTER WHILE TRAVELING. IF THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS BYPASSED, THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY DEALER SERVICE CENTER ONCE THE PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED AND IT IS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, THE ONLY REPAIR WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE TIPM.
