    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…

    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.

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…

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…

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…

    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.
