Description of the problem | Key was stuck in the ignition and car would not shut off at the gas station so that i could put gas in the car. After fighting with the key for about an hour it finally came out. Now every time i need to shut off the car i have to flick the key really hard the opposite way to be able to pull it out. After researching online it seems many other jetta owners have had the same issue yet vw has not made a recall. We are being told a new part for the ignition and keys will need to be ordered. Total cost at the dealer will be around $680. |
