Description of the problem	I started my 2011 vw routan this morning and as soon as the transmission was placed in reverse, the engine quit. I had all electrical power throughout this whole ordeal. 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. After placing the transmission back into park, in deperation i attempted a third try to start the engine and engage the transmission. This time everything worked as normal. After seeing so many other complaints of very similar instances of engine shutdown, i am extremely concerned as to the safe operation of this minivan. The only key that has ever been on my key ring (after 2. 5 yrs of ownership) is the key for my routan; i always maintain a separate ring for house/office/etc. In the event that this occurs while driving down the road, i will ensure that it gets fixed so that i can attempt to get as much resale value as i can while promptly trading in for something other than gm or vw.
