Description of the problem	Key gets stuck in ignition and i cannot turn off the engine." when car is parked anywhere key usually won't turn to start car, eventually does, but sometimes the key will not turn to shut the car off, so it stays running till the key decides it wants to come out or run out of gas after saving for years, bought this car for our daughter, afraid to drive anywhere. May get stuck somewhere where key will not turn to start car. If a car does not turn off or start, this is a safety concern. I have only had the car less than 2 weeks and notice it is getting harder and harder to turn the key on or off. Many complaints regarding the same issue, which appears to be the ignition switch lock. Volkswagen should recall these cars for faulty ignition switches. Thank you - [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
