All warning/service lights on the dash panel light up, sound alarms, and blink. The speedometer, fuel gauge, tachometer all go to "0" so I am unaware of my speed. Blinkers and emergency flashers do not work. This first happened right after we purchased the vehicle, and they repaired something to where it worked for about 3 months. Then it has been happening more frequently since then. The lights all turning on will happen about once a week now. I called the dealership and they said it's probably related to the recall currently in place for my vehicle, that they don't have a fix for. Of which, my car has been effected by the ignition switch recall as my car has turned off at random times going 35+ mph. This recall has been in effect since July 2014 and there is not yet a remedy. I have 3 young kids that I have with me all of the time and I am afraid to driving on the hwy since this often happens at those times.

Have owned this vehicle for 5 months. Vehicle would not start...had been driven aprox 30 miles/cooled just would click, would restart after time given, taken to dealer no problems found, it has done this 4 more time since, is part of the recall 14V-396. Have taken it back to the dealer purchased from and VW dealership and problem cannot be duplicated therefore it cannot be repaired. It has been in the shop for two weeks and no solution found....suspect it is the ignition switch in the recall but is not throwing out any code. VW states that they cannot replaced because there is no code and if whin module none are available plus the recall states remedy not available. VW rep said we could pay out of pocket, and then if later found out to be under the recall they would reimburse...which is totally a lie since there are no whin modules available and that isn't a known fix. I find it totally absurd that they really think we should be driving this vehicle since a failure may happen at anytime, speed, and may cause a crash. The fact that they do not value the lives in the vehicle is very discouraging. Have suggested they replace vehicle or pay the loan and was told that was doubtful.

- Shady Cove, OR, USA

While driving typically at speeds less than 45 mph the vehicle engine will shut down and electrical power at the dash is lost. Vehicle will restart after it shuts down. Problem is not consistent. Dealer can not verify the complaint, therefore can not repair. NHTSA recall 14V396 appears to be the correction for the issue. Dealer will not perform the recall until they duplicate the issue. Has been at the dealer for 6 days with no duplication of the complaint.

- Ashburn, VA, USA

Our 2009 Routan randomly loses power and the engine attempts to turn off while driving. This has happened at least five times in the past year. Our Routan is part of the ignition switch recall, which should fix this problem, yet more than six months after this potentially deadly recall was issued, Volkswagen has not officially issued a repair, so our dealership will not repair. We have contacted Volkswagen directly, and all we have been told is "we are still waiting for more information." Considering Volkswagen issued this same recall on the 2010 Routan more than three years ago and should be familiar with the repair, I find this unacceptable. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

- Lynnwood, WA, USA

We have had several occasions where the van completely shuts off even while running. Reported it to our local VW dealer and have been told that it might be an ignition problem which is part of a recall. Was informed that at this time they can't repair it because they don't make that part. Had it completely shut down on us while it was getting serviced at the dealer for new brakes. Was told that all it needed was new battery. Paid for it and got it to start only to shut down again two days later. Took it back again and was told that it is not the recall its something else thats causing for the car to shut off. Now the dealer said that they will pay for the part but we pay for labor and we have 7 days to agree. They need to fix this ongoing problem. We are now carrying around $175 jumper to start it when it shuts off. Have had to sign up for tow assistance program just in case my family is stranded.

On the said date, I was driving my car when I heard a loud noise coming from the ignition area and the car suddenly and unexpectedly stalled, I was able to restart the car right away. A month later, I heard the same noise and the car stalled again, while I was in the middle of a very busy intersection. In August of 2014, I had received a recall from VW informing me of a recall ( NHTSA 14V-396), I took my car to the dealer who has not been able to fix the issue, in November, parts are still not available for the repairs to be performed. I spoke to the regional case manager at VW who won't do anything either. VW is letting me drive an unreliable and unsafe vehicle.
