| Description of the problem | Started having a key fob issue around 80k miles. Ignition would not turn off correctly causing battery to drain. Spoke with vw informed me no recall. Issue escalated to the point that the key fob will randomly eject from the ignition while the car is running and in motion. Sometimes the car will lose power and have to be pulled over and restarted. Obviously this is not safe while driving down the highway. |
