| Dec 2017111000 mi | Arrived at work and the car turned off, but the key would not turn to the release position so I could take the key out of the ignition. Luckily we were slow at work so I spent about 16 hours out of the 48 I worked taking apart the steering wheel/column to disassemble the ignition cylinder. At some point during the repair the steering wheel lock engaged and I could no longer turn the key at all. The immobilizer on the cylinder wouldn't release. In the end, I partially repaired it by removing the ignition cylinder and grinding down the wheel lock. I took the ignition off the rear of the cylinder and relocated to the steering column. I now have to start my car by inserting the key (still won't turn because I can't disassemble the immobilizer) and then manually turning the ignition under the steering column. A proper fix would be replacing the entire ignition cylinder but VW is buying the car back in January. Research during the repair indicates this is a common VW problem across most model lines/years that they refuse to address. | ||

| Apr 2018148000 miUS $500 | bad wire in steering column for ignition system was intermittently causing engine immobilizer to stop the car starting. this was 3rd time for this repair in 5 years. the dealer had the car for 5 days and did not find the real problem (no code), they just reprogrammed the keys. the day after getting car back it acted up again. I insisted they check the wire which had been a problem prior (this dealer spliced a repair wire 1 year earlier). Then they found the wire was bad (again) and changed the entire wiring harness. after a 20% discount this fiasco still cost about $500 with the time wasted by them not believing me that i thought the wire was bad on the first visit | ||
