Description of the problem	Sent my 2010 volkswagen routan to a detail shop on april 23, 2014 at 930 a. M. In mcallen texas. While being worked on and thereafter completed, the technician had difficulty getting is started in which a hazard warning indicated a "bad key". Technician was able to get it started and we drove our van west approximately 45 miles. Upon arrival at residence noted that ignition stayed stuck in accessory mode and drained my battery. Sent to dealership for diagnostics and repairs, and after six days of research and study, end result is a faulty ignition switch. I did some research and found campaign - recall id # 66665 for my vehicle but only to the manufactured date of july 2010. My vehicle was manufactured august 2010. Looking at that it is only a matter of days of those 12000 vehicles that were called in to repair free of charge, that perhaps my vehicle could be one of hundreds more to come forward with the same complaint? I only thank god that while driving 65 to 70mph that ignition switch did not accidentally go into accessory mode from the on position and risk accident thus resulting in injury or death. My vin# [xxx] and mileage is at 56,000. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
