Sherriff contacted Volkswagen directly and requested their help. The woman's vehicle was equipped with a GPS tracker and law enforcement was seeking assistance from the car company to help track down the car which still had the woman's baby inside. 

Astonishingly, the company refused.

According to detectives, "Volkswagen Car-Net wanted $150 to restart the service because the mother hadn't made a recent payment." Eventually, officials had to comply and the payment was sent to Volkswagen. 

The SUV with the baby in the backseat was finally located after Volkswagen received a payment. Volkswagen told CBS MoneyWatch in a statement that it takes customer safety seriously and is "addressing the situation."
