The ignition lock and immobilizer on these vehicles is prone to failure and expensive to repair. It started as just a minor annoyance with the vehicle taking 4 to 5 times of removing the key and trying to start it again to dying while going down the interstate and having to be towed home or to the shop only to happen again a day later. This single issue has pushed me away from VW for any future cars.
