NHTSA Complaint #10765358 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER. AFTER COMING TO A STOP THE VAN WOULD START FINE AND WAS ABLE TO FINISH THE TRIP. A FEW DAYS LATER THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE COMING TO A STOP. WE RETURNED THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR WORK ON A FAULTY RADIO AND MENTIONED THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE RADIO REPLACED AND TOOK IT TO A VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL. IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THE VAN WAS TAKEN IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY CHECKED ABOUT THE STALLING ISSUE. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING A PROBLEM, BUT AFTER THE OIL CHANGE THE VAN WORKED BETTER FOR A FEW DAYS. IT NOW STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY, USUALLY GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH. ON SEPT 19, 2015 THE VAN STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING ON TO THE ENTRANCE RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEED WAS ABOUT 45MPH.
