Description of the problem	Purchased 2012 vw jetta new at local vw dealership. Currently has approx 51,000 miles on it. At around 29,000 miles ignition switch would not shut off while i was shopping-took to dealershipi and was told it was fixed- had just stuck. Less than a month later same thing happened. Dealership had the car for weeks-(this time they did provide loaner car). Most recent- prior to ignition problem currently occurring i had to have wiper motor replaced at my cost $600. 00 plus dollars. I sat in waiting area of dealership that clearly stated we provide loaner car or shuttle service at time of your appt. Neither available on that day. I addressed this issue with service manager who was off that day. Received apologetic e-mail. Have had to replace headlight bulb and needs replaced again. Could this be an electrical issue? Is this car even safe to drive my grandchildren in? I am not feelin comfortable with it. Presently as i am writing this my car has been running for 18 hours. Ignition stuck friday eve- service dept not open on sat. When i called friday eve basically i was told "get it over here somehow and we will take a look". Presently weighing my options-needless to say i am extremely disappointed with the purchase of my first new vw. Previously had owned two used vw golf. Note: first time i was fortunately close to vw garage which is a 40 minute drive from my house-fortunate again this time that it's sitting in my driveway running until i can figure out a plan. Loved my vw-past tense. After going online i see other people have had this very experience with ignition. Seems it is going to be expensive. Very disappointed! My dealership is vw clarksburg, wv.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
