| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2001.5 vw passat abruptly stopped recognizing its keys. these keys have some kind of magic number that is used to validate their authenticity. however, the car stopped recognizing its three keys yesterday. the vw dealership does not have a sense for what might be wrong. i disconnected the battery for 5 minutes yesterday and the car started recognizing the key after that. however, i had the same problem again today, and looks like its going to keep happening unless i figure out what the root cause is. as of now, the engine does not start, central locking does not let me lock the car. the trunk doesn't pop. the only thing that works is the unlocking of the car, and the locking of the driver side door (only). *nm |
