The vehicle has a new battery which is correctly installed and free of corrosion. When the key fob is placed into the ignition and moved forward, the vehicle will not start. The dash lights come on, and it should start, but it does not. If you keep trying, or walk away and come back after a few minutes and try again, it does sometimes start. This intermittent problem seams to have no rhyme or reason and I am concerned the vehicle might stop while my wife or I drive it. This generally happens 4 to 5 times a month. Any help would be appreciated.

While driving at 35 mph the engine including electricity and power steering shuts off completely. Had to pull over and put it in park to restart the car. This has happened numerous times. I told the dealer that I read about the recall on the year after model that they fixed their car (changed win module) free of charge. He said my car is not included in the recall. When does it become a recall? this is a safety issue.

Vehicle engine will turn itself off and lose power while driving down the road. Able to pull the car off the road and immediately restart the engine. It causes a loss of power steering, power brakes, etc. This has happened multiple times and whenever taken to dealer for diagnosis the issue can not be duplicated. Usually happens when the car is cold, but yesterday it happened after we had been driving for a couple of hours. You can watch the RPM's drop every now and then and sometimes it will catch it and keep the motor running, but sometimes not.

When I purchased the car they checked the oil and I saw it was clean and full. After a week my wife told me the oil light came on. I checked the oil and their were no oil on the dip stick. I filled the oil to the correct spot on the dipstick. A week later I check the oil and again there were no oil on the dipstick. So I call the dealer and they sent me to sears who could not find a leak and they changed the oil. I checked the oil the following week and again there were no oil on the dipstick. So I call the dealer again and they sent me to another mechanic who could not find a leak. I'm now checking and adding oil weekly.

Notice oil light coming on between oil change....filled oil to proper level...I took car in for service today (1/7/13) was told by dealership the gasket will need replace, that was the reason for oil usage. I just had my vehicle in to fix the sliding door (tsb recall not honored) in October and in was inspected with no problems. Doing research on internet and finding the oil, door is a common problem in VW Routan ( also talked to another owner was in for same problem, stated has been given runaround since day one about problems with his Routan).
