The major problem occurred shortly after my 30,000 mile check up, when my key got stuck in the ignition, and I could not turn the car off. I am aware this problem dates back to as early as 2012. I immediately contacted vw customer care since I was at approximately 36,400 miles to see if they would assist in replacing this part. In addition, I was charged 153. 63 for the diagnosis. Midday on September 21, 2018, I received a call from customer care denying my claim completely. I am aware that this is an ongoing problem, and should be under a recall status. I was also informed that vw has updated their ignition switch (replaced with an updated model number) so the replacement part will not cause problems. I feel like this was a ploy to get me to go to the vw dealership, so they may continue to profit over their past mistakes. I believe I have paid for something that should be covered under a recall or extended warranty. In addition, I had the battery fail at the 36,000 mile mark as well. I feel that I have had more trouble with this new car than any other car I have owned in the past, and I am not really thrilled as a first time vw owner.
