Suddenly, without warning for no apparent reason the car will not start. The starter cranks, there is plently of juice, the engine malfunction light flickers and makes a clicking noise, but the engine does not turn over at all. This car runs perfectly 95% of the time but 5 or 6 times in the past year I had this starting problem. Once the car had to be towed, it couldn't even be jump started! The other times the car eventually started in anywhere from 5 to 90 minutes. The dealer can't diagnose the problem and VW America has no idea either! I'm thinking about selling the car if a solution can't be found.
