Description of the problem	While driving on a highway at 65 mph my car suddenly shut off and the steering wheel tighten up. I was in the left lane and was able to get over to the shoulder. I turned the vehicle off and it turned back on with no problem. A second incident occurred 03/09/11 as i was attempting to turn right at an intersection. My steering wheel was so tight that i could not make the turn and had to drift to the other side of the intersection because i had already slowed down to make the turn. Again the car turned back on. My car also frequently stalls immediately upon turning it on but i thought nothing of it until it started stalling while driving. I took it in for service and was told that they could not replicate the problem and that the computer was not indicating a problem. Therefore the car was fine and i should come and pick it up. I informed them when i dropped the car off that i read online that there was a pending recall for the ignition switch that was released on 03/10/11; however, the dealership informed me that they could not replace the ignition switch until the recall was official sometime in april because they would not be reimbursed. I have filed a compliant with vw and am waiting for a response from the regional manager.
