2012 Volkswagen ROUTAN Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1691812
Internal NHTSA #	11360225
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	ROUTAN
Model Year	2012
File date	20/09/20
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle has experienced stalling, engine shutdown, and difficulty starting multiple times. Engine has now stalled more frequently at both low speeds and while driving on highway. Each time, rpm's have gone to zero and it's completely lost power to steering. I've had try and coast/navigate safely to side of road, berm, etc., stop, and restart the van. At times the dash lights will flash, other times there is no indication that a failure had occurred, just no power/rpms. No check engine light remains, no codes displayed, nothing. The local volkswagen dealer will not even address the issue as they deem it a "chrysler problem". We now take it to an independent mechanic and replaced the crankshaft & camshaft position sensors, key fobs, battery, and have done all preventative maintenance. The problem still remains. There are similar complaints (vw, chrysler, & dodge) for this exact engine & symptoms that may be related to the tipm, the main control module. This is a very serious safety issue as it random and causes a complete shutdown of vehicle while in motion and loss of operator control.
