No, it's not a $400 repair. If it's the return mechanism on the ignition 
switch then the part costs about $40 and the repair time is either one hour 
or one and a half hours. Had the same type of problem on the wife's A6Q 
earlier this year and it was repaired for a little less than $140. If you 
look through the archives over the past month you should find postings on how 
to replace this part yourself.

Hope this helps
