Key gets stuck in ignition when turning off the engine.
Vehicle ignition switch sticks. sometimes it is hard to turn on other times it is very difficult to turn off. condition is getting worse.
While driving the vehicle, it starts to stall or have stalled while slowing down or sitting in rush hour traffic; or while stopped at a red light. the dealer stated the code was p0011 and the camshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. the part was about $75 and the labor just under $400. the check engine light came back on within 2 days and the issue started again. now the dealer stated code p0011 again, and also code p0016 crank shaft position correlation which is the timing belt he stated. he also quoted a price over $3000 to have the work completed. i asked if this was the problem all along and the p0011 was misdiagnosed the last time since you have the same code again. was the old position sensor bad or not. he could not answer. i told him i can't keep spending money if you can't grantee a fix. i don't want to come back in a few weeks with the same code, but the price keeps going up. also, that stated they completed a recall update to the ecm software. i told them i was surprised as i had checked nhtsa and it stated 0 incomplete recalls. i know this as i researched the p0011 issue several weeks ago, and someone mentioned in a post to check for this update. this appears to be a common issue as many people on this site have similar complaints to my own, with the 2014 vw jetta: https://www.carcomplaints.com/volkswagen/jetta/2014/engine/engine_dies_stalls_while_driving.shtml i can't afford to keep paying for possible fixes. i need for vw to work on my vehicle and complete the repairs and make sure it's what is needed to resolve this issue. also, i've noticed that since this issue has started, the car is burning fuel at an incredible rate; going from a half a tank to a quarter tank in a 12 mile trip to work and 12 miles back home, without any other stops. i would think 24 miles round trip in traffic would burn maybe 2 gallons, but not a quarter tank of gas.

Ignition issue. after turning on the car the key gets stuck and it's difficult to remove the key from the ignition. it has taken me upwards of 25 minutes at time to jiggle the key and remove it. this is an inconvenience and a safety issue.

The ignition switch locks, cannot turn off vehicle. this happens with either of the two ignition keys supplied by dealer.
Dealer issued keys are impossible to turn when attempting to turn off engine in stationary/park position. have to flick key forward causing a power surge to shut the engine off. process is getting worse, now fuel light is on stating that my fuel sensor is broken. car has lost power when accelerating as well. this is all connected to the power surge needed to shut the car off. dealership states, there has not been a recall for this type of issue, it will cost me upwards to $1000 to fix ignition cylinder. it looks like it's one of the only issues with this vehicle and is known by the dealerships. dealership only advises to purchase new vehicle with "push to start." this will be our first and last vw.

I complained about this back in march and of course there was nothing done. this has been an ongoing issue with volkswagen according to on line forums. we could not turn off our car, they key would not turn in the ignition. i had to pay over three hundred dollars to get another ignition from volkswagen. here it is just five months later and we are having the same problem, again! isn't it time to do something and make volkswagen accountable, not only are the stock ignitions defective, so are their replacement ignitions. please order a recall and make them responsible. this is obviously happening when i come to a stop, place in park and attempt to turn off the ignition, the key does not move.
Ignition switch. my ignition switch is going out, it has become hard for me to turn on and turn off my car. i know there have been class action lawsuits involving other automotive manufacturers and this needs to be a recall. its dangerous for me to operate my vehicle.
The vehicle will randomly shut off while driving or parked. it has happened in traffic and occurs most often when decelerating, idling, or parked. obviously, with the engine off, power steering and brakes aren't available.
Takata recall. i have a 2014 volkswagen jetta gli edition 30 w/navigation. my airbag light came on while i was driving that's right in motion. the same day my steering wheel started clicking when i turned it to the left one day. i went to use my horn and it wouldn't work. then noticed all of my all the buttons on my steering wheel were not working either. the steering wheel buttons are the controls for the navigation settings, time, phone. there isn't a way to change setting using the console buttons. the steering wheel controls are the hub of setting controls. i can not use my horn for anything. 18 wheelers swaying, someone not paying attention i can not use my horn for any of these reasons. every time i get in my car i am without an airbag. i went online to do some research. i found a recall for the 2014 jetta i printed out the recall # and took it to the dealership and said this recall and the clicking on my steering wheel match. can you fix this here? the representative then told me that he was sorry the recall did not include the gli 30 year anniversary edition jetta. the shop would not order the part without a diagnostic which cost me $120.88. once the diagnostic was complete i received a call "ma'am you are correct the clock spring is what needs to be replaced and the part is $290.07 and labor $316.88 with tax a total of $682.33 even though everything matched the recall. because this recall isn't expanded and doesn't include the correct cars. i have had to pay $803.21. i am out safely driving with a airbag or the safety of a horn. this recall does not include all cars affected.
The horn on my 14' vw jetta se has a mind of its own. it will work long enough for me to blow the horn at somebody (sometimes) and then not work again for 2-14 days.
Dealership has had my car for 100 days and still not fixed. 2014 - 2 clutches and a rebuilt transmission later. car was returned, same day 5th gear went out again on interstate 95 almost killed my son.

Key gets stuck in the ignition, in the on position, repeatedly, so you can't turn off the engine. various "band aid fixes" posted online by similar sufferers of this problem, such as putting it in drive then in park repeatedly, or applying strong inward pressure when turning the key only "help" intermittently. finally nothing worked, and had to leave it in park, idling and unlocked while waiting for a locksmith/mechanic to come remove the ignition, in order to be able to turn the engine off. this poses a significant hazard, not mechanically, but for theft, in an emergency, or just going about the day. the vehicle sat at idle for several hours before the locksmith could come. this is a known issue with the jetta, and no recall has been issued.

Ignition key gets stuck in the on position and cannot turn the car off. it also sticks when off and cannot get the car started. in a web search i find that this is a common problem. the cost to replace is ~$800 this is a repeated problem and happens on an almost daily basis. vw claims there is no recall. in my opinion, this is a major safety issue and should have a recall.

Vehicle in motion, one occurrence on city street w/braking and one occurrence on highway, no braking with large bump, no turns, all 4 door locks unlocked simultaneously and doors opened. dealer could not find fault codes or have this happen when they drove the car. vw position is that "this is not possible". no repairs were made. there is no documentation & there is no proof, but it did happen twice since car was purchased new in june 2014.
The horn stopped working from one day to the next day. we were driving on friday and used the horn on the road and saturday in the driveway i honked the horn at my wife and it did not work. i also noticed that when we set the car alarm on saturday the horn would not work.
My jetta has been leaking transmission fluid. i was searching to see what gear oil is needed for my car as i would like to fill it back up to the appropriate level and a recall showed up about an o-ring between the transmission and the oil cooler. my car was not listed in this recall, however my car is still leaking transmission fluid at this time. on another subject my fuel pump seems to run for awhile after i shut the car off. i took it to a vw dealership and they stated it was fine. still a bit of a worry as sometimes it runs for up to 3 minutes after.

This vehicle was rented from enterprise on 3/26, but driven <30 min that evening. on 3/27, it was driven a great deal (2-9pm). in the p.m.. i sat in the vehicle, windows up, heat on, awaiting someone's arrival for approx. 20 min., i began to feel weird bodywise & exiting the vehicle, noticed how sluggish i was. i arrived home at 9pm & walking in, i felt fatigue & noticed that my body was becoming sore. by the next hour, i'd become extremely fatigued & decided to bathe & call it a night. i shared my concerns with my daughter noted my symptoms & went to sleep. by morning, i woke up feeling even more sore, plus had a fever. unable to function, i called my family & dr. & was advised to visit the er. i was told i had the flu, but i denied the diagnosis & a swab came back negative. they said my wbc was up wi/ no explanation from the cultures. they couldn't put a finger on it & they decided to keep me overnight. by the a.m., my wbc had increased & more tests were ran. they said it was possibly viral but later said they didn't have much to tell me. they put me on two antibiotics & my hospital stay lasted until 3/31. initially, the car was not suspected suspected the car, until 3/28 when my dad called the hospital & mentioned how he felt when in it..he said something is with this car & he felt his eyes rolling in the back of his head. he said he couldn't be driving it as it was. his symptoms led him to do the internet & he came across numerous reports about vws' smell & it sickening people. he directed me to the same info & told me to tell the doctors about the car and his findings. i did so, but to no avail. having seen that there has been no developments, recalls, associated with this known issue, i am also submitting this complaint. the commonality between my symptoms and others' leads me to believe that there should be further investigation into this to prevent sickness. *tr
*white powder/mold on the window trims. all four windows. all over the seat and vehicle when a/c was on. i was exposed to this unknown substance for nearly 3 months. i asked vw to conduct an investigation to find out what was that chemical or substance, sadly they neglect my request. from what i found out, some vw vehicles have this problem, yet none has taken a single step to investigate this matter. i would at least like to know what kind of impact his could have on me and the people (kids who were riding with me) car. updated 11/07/2017*cn
Purchase (2 ) 2014 vw jetta. the ignition cilinder stop working 6 months after buying the car. after numerous times at the dealer with the second jetta and telling them something is wrong . the dealer kept on telling me their is no recall and i would have to replace it at my expense. this is a common problem since looking at this matter on the net. . at times this key problem is a hassard because it can make the electronics of the car fail. does some have to die for this to be a recall and protect the consumers? please look into the matter and make vw own up to what is the right thing to keep people on the road and not six foot under. key stop working while car is running, electronic frailer, you can turn keys to any position, can turn the car on, i was on vacation on a ferry and could not move the car cb the key could not be turned for anything.
This vehicle has chrome trim on dashboard air conditioning vents next to driver's and front seat passenger's doors, and that chrome trim puts circular reflections (ovals or ring images) in the exterior rear view mirrors, both sides. when driver glances at these rear view mirrors there are distracting images that initially must be consciously considered to ignore as "false" that another vehicle, or something, is behind the car. over time this "programs" the driver's brain to disregard images in the mirrors. i believe this is a safety issue because it likely increases chance that driver will ignore potentially dangerous tailgaters and the like. the fix would be for vw to remove and replace this plastic chrome trim, using something like with non-glare black plastic.
The ignition switch on most cars break within 50,000 miles. this stops the owner from being able to remove the ignition key, thus making the vehicle easy to steal.
