For my situation my vehicle shut off by itself while i was driving on the highway at 60 mph. it has happened 3 times already. the first couple of times the dealer has replaced the battery. after they replaced the battery the dealership told me that the car looks fine. when this happened again for the 3rd time, it really scared me because i was driving on the highway. before the vehicle shuts off by itself, all of the electronics turned off also. the weird thing about this issue is that after the vehicle is shut off by itself, i am able to restart my vehicle. at this time i brought my car to the dealer to let them check out what is going on. they told me that they couldn't find anything wrong that everything looked right. they will release my vehicle to me this saturday. my concern is i can take the vehicle back but i don't know when is this problem going to happen again. i got lucky this time because there wasn't any cars behind me on the highway. when the car shuts off by itself, it cannot move at all and i'm sitting in the middle of the highway. if something happens like this who will take the responsibility? i asked vw of america, they said if they didn't find anything wrong this time then i need to wait until this happens again or if they can find something wrong. this is something about safety. when the my vehicle shuts off there is no warning sign, it just happens. please help me to solve this issue. i m not sure if the dealer really checks my vehicle or if they are lying? *tr
On several occasions the key can not be removed from the ignition. you stop the vehicle , place it in park and the key can not be removed. i view this as a safety and security hazard, there have been times when we have had to stop and start the car several times for the key to be removed. a search on line will show several other people reporting this problem, some use a paper clip to remove the key. others warn of a battery drain and state the key can not be removed if the batter us drained which makes me think this is an electrical problem. others have also posted you tube videos of not being able to remove the key. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lktfkhfq6lc updated 11/24/2014 *js
