2009 VOLKSWAGEN ROUTAN Complaints

ON THE SAID DATE, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE IGNITION AREA AND THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY STALLED, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. A MONTH LATER, I HEARD THE SAME NOISE AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN, WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. IN AUGUST OF 2014, I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL FROM VW INFORMING ME OF A RECALL ( NHTSA 14V-396), I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER WHO HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE, IN NOVEMBER, PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED. I SPOKE TO THE REGIONAL CASE MANAGER AT VW WHO WON'T DO ANYTHING EITHER. VW IS LETTING ME DRIVE AN UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR
