This is 2011 VW ROUTAN. When the mileage reached exactly 100k both sliding doors shuts. When I put it on manual control button overhead it’s not working in both doors. It’s parked when this happens.

When driving for about 25 and then getting to a stop light. As I slow down and start to come to a stop the car shakes very roughly and turns right off. The first time this happened was 3 days after getting car from Carmax. It had not happened again until this week.

The vehicle was in a parking lot and would not start after repeated tries. It would start as normal and immediately shut off. Had to take it to the dealership who advised the tipm is faulty. Faulty tipms in these vehicle with 55k-70k mileage seems to be a very common problem. There are many shops who will rebuilt these tipms as its a very known issue. This is also a serious problem as it would shut off the vehicle and how start, leaving passengers stranded

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

Faulty tipm module. Engine will crank just fine, but has big trouble starting. Once it runs all is good. It's a known issue for the part. Other oems recalled the item (chrysler town & country / dodge grand caravan)

This vehicle is basically a chrysler/dodge with vw branding, and one of the keys is even a dodge key. It has the same issue with the tipm and fuel relay module that was recalled on the 2011 chrysler and dodge vans. See fuel pump relay recall the federal safety agency 14v‑530. I'm asking that it also be recalled for the 2011 vw routan since it's very dangerous that my car could stop at any moment. Vehicle will shut off when driving and will not start on many occasions.

While driving my 2011 vw routan at 45 MPH speed suddenly the speed dropped down to 20 MPH on a busy road and eventually stopped. Luckily I was able to pull my vehicle over to a local road. After showing the vehicle to dealer the problem was identified as timp issue and repair would cost $1500. Luckily it wasn't a freeway with 65 MPH road, I couldn't think of this thing happens on such road with kids inside the car. I have came across chrysler got same sort of issues and they recalled such vehicles. Vw routan is also same built as chrysler town and county and vw didn't offer any recalls for these issues.
