3 Ignition problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2011

2010 vw Routan van. Car has stalled while driving three times. Each time we have brought it in for repair where they replaced ignition, key, etc. A national recall was done for this problem and we took it in for the recall. Now it's done it again after the recall. It's in the shop now and we have filed a complaint with vw USA and dealer. We're waiting for their decision as we know from other people at the dealer in the service dept that this is a real problem and another person we know directly with the same make/model has the same problem. We will not take the car back no matter what. This is a life threatening defect. We are prepared to take legal lemon law action if vw doesn't do the right thing.
