Steering wheel column changed in the dealer, will that last long?

What is your question?

I have a 2005 audi a6 3.2, the steering wheel was locked due to transponder issue and had to be towed to dealer. After spending $2000 for the steering wheel column, I am wondering whether this will happen again or not. Has audi realized the problem and made improvements. I don't want to spend another $2000.
