Engine won't start when brake pedal is depressed while van is parked in driveway, garage, at gas station, at sore parking lot; alarm horn sounds for no reason when van is parked; doors lock when exiting vehicle yet no lock/fob has been pressed locking both elderly parents inside van when temps. Were -5 degrees outside; engine only starts when remote start button on key fob is used, then the alarm horn sounds until van is turned off and restarted. The issue is clearly the t.i.p.m. Module which has been an issue on several chrysler-based products (which this routan is.) vw has run diagnostic codes twice and nothing turns up because the van isn't running to trigger a code. Although i have an extended warranty, they say the t.i.p.m. Is not covered because no codes are triggered. Manufacturer communication no.: tb-15-11-04. Nhtsa number: 10043276. The date listed below (01/06/2015) is the first instance of engine failure, it has been ongoing as of last week, 7/6/2016.

Vehicle would shudder sometimes harshly under light throttle at 45-60mph and small hill or acceleration.dealer diagnosed a left cylinder head failure and cylinder misfires.vehicle has approximately 80,000 miles.not included by vin and falls just outside the manufacturing date, which resulted in a manufacturers extended warranty for similar failures.requested assistance from vw due to the similarity of failure and close manufacturing date for the extended warranty.vw did not offer assistance.hard to believe a vehicle just produced outside an extended warranty window would have a similar failure and not be a part of the extended warranty.review the documented complaints... Many 2013 dodge grand caravan, chrysler town and country and vw routan vans have left cylinder head failures that are documented yet are not included by the manufacturers in their extended warranty notice.
The temperature gauge constantly moving to 220 thermostat water pump and sensor was changed withnew antifreeze.its still doing yhe same thing. I notived several people are having the same problem.it doesn't matter if i am stationary or moving ii will move.
