| Description of the problem | Randomly you cannot turn off the car. You try and turn the key and it is stuck in the on position. You can turn toward start, but not off. You may have to put it in gear and drive around for a few minutes for it to turn off. Have tried to put in gear, and back out without any luck, have also tried to force, but do not want to break the key. I guess it is the same as the jetta issue, which they have confirmed, and are resolving. If you had to shut off in emergency you would not be able to do this. Now happening a couple times a week. |
