    2013 jetta se with 79k on it and the key is stuck in the ignition - it's at the dealer now and i'm sure from what i've read it's going to be rather costly to fix a problem that vw is aware of and not willing to recall. I have had many cars and never encountered anything like this - absurd.

    While traveling at highway speeds through higher elevations northbound on hwy 101 north of ukiah, ca, i heard a loud bang. It sounded like a gunshot. Immediately after glass started raining out of the sunroof visor vents (thankfully it was closed). I drove for another 1/4 mile or so until there was a safe place to turn off. Upon closer inspection there was one large hole in the glass, shatter fractures throughout…
