Anti-theft Controller Problems of Volkswagen Passat

The car was parked and would not start even after a check of the battery. The car had no power whatsoever and could not be placed into neutral to tow. After 4 days in the shop, it was determined that the entire anti-theft system had burned out and fried the ignition as well. How this happened is a complete mystery as there had never been even the slightest indication that something was wrong before this incident. The entire steering column had to be pulled out of the vehicle and the module had to be replaced. I have seen many, many reports of this same issue with this car on the internet as I did some research after this happened. The price to repair the car was $895. 00,,,which seems ridiculous to me given that the car only has 45k miles. I tried to get some help from vw customer care given that this seems like a design flaw. . . It really is upsetting to have to pay so much for a car so lightly used. . . And could it just happen again? vw was completely unwilling to work with me in any way.

The 2006 -2009 vw Passat is having massive problems with the ( defective steering column lock ). There is a problem with the anti theft module at the base of the steering column. This is happening to Passat owners all over the country and there should be a recall. I am giving you ammunition to get the recall done.

I own a 2001 Volkswagen Passat station wagen and have had nothing but trouble with it since I bought it. I had to replace the engine due sludge and Volkswagen of America would not reimburse me because I was missing one oil change receipt the lights keep coming on in the car telling me I have engine problems once again, and I bring it in for regular repairs and check ups. Currently the suspension part of the car has gone and that will cost another $2000 on top of the $7000 I already put into it. That does not include new tires and other things that have gone wrong with this idiot car. Volkswagen does not stand by its customers at all and I will never ever buy from them again and will tell people I know the car is a piece of crap. The place I bring in my car to for repair already knows that. Do not bring it into a Volkswagen repair place to have it fixed> they are the biggest ripp offs and so totally dishonest!!!! I bought the car from jack daniels in fairlawn, NJ and have had it repaired at trend motors, in denville, NJ.
