While trying to start the engine (parked) on cold weather (aprox. 20f), "steering column lock" asserts and engine shuts down. It happens almost every time, if outside temperature is below about 35f. I have to try several times with slight pressure on steering wheel, before steering gets unlocked.

Steering column lock defective - message is displayed after starting the car, then the car immediately shuts off. Mechanic checked for fault codes and sees 02823 requirements for locking steering column not met, and 02861 electronic steering column lock check sum error. There has been a recall of other 2010 vw Ccs over this issue, but it does not include my VIN number. The symptoms of the issue seem to be exactly the same. This was happening intermittently earlier in the year, but now it happens nearly every time I start the car in the morning.

Steering column lock defective warning keeps coming on when starting vehicle and sometimes when vehicle is in motion.

Vehicle will not start. Message indicates "steering wheel column lock". This happens intermittently. This is a known problem with other vw models, but dealership won't cover it, and general manager is acting as if he doesn't know this issue exists with other models.

I am receiving the error message steering column lock defective. The dealership told me this was part of a recall, then revoked the statement at a later time. I have seen other complaints and wonder if this should be a recall. Seems to be a sporadic error.

Every time once the cold weather hits the car wont start and I get a steering column defective notice on the dash. I have to pull out the key wait a few seconds and try again.

When attempting to start the vehicle, placing the key into the ignition, there is a delayed start, or no start condition. A message appears in the vehicle display screen "defective steering column lock". The vehicle is disabled and unable to start. This is an unsafe condition for manual transmission vehicles, if stalling occurs while in an intersection, and the operator is unable to re-start the engine, and the steering wheel locks.
