VEHICLE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHILE STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN I, THE OWNER ATTEMPTS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO WIGGLE THE KEY A CERTAIN WAY TO TURN IT OFF. AT THIS POINT EVEN SO CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD TO LEAVE IT RUNNING EVEN WHILE PUMPING GAS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REVIEWS ON THIS SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL RUNNING AND MY HANDS ARE SCRATCHED FROM ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE. FIX THIS.

AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. I HAD AN ACCIDENT BACK IN 2014 AND THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THE STEERING COLUMN IGNITION SWITCH LOCKED AND MY KEY WAS STUCK WITH THE CAR STILL RUNNING ON IN A STATION PLACE. I WAS TRYING TO PARK THE CAR AND MY IGNITION SWITCH LOCKED AND WOULD NOT MOVED AND KEPT THE KEY LOCKED IN IT. I KEPT TRYING TO MOVE THE JIGGLE THE WHEEL AND TURN THE KEY BUT IT CAUSE THE KEY TO BREAK OFF IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAD TO PAIR TO GET THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND THE KEY REPLACED. ALSO AFTER THAT THE HORN STOP WORKING AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE THE CLOCK SPRING HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PAID AGAIN TO HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACED HOWEVER THE HORN NOW IS GOING IN AN OUT. THE HORN WILL SOUND OFF ONE DAY AND THEN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS IT WILL NOT WORK. THIS HAPPEN ONLY 2 WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE CLOCK SPRING FIXED. ALSO THE HORN IS NOT LOUD IT BARELY MAKES A NOISE. NOW THE SENSOR LIGHT IS ON FOR THE ENGINE AND I WAS ALREADY TOLD THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE.

AFTER STOPPING THE CAR, THE COOLING FAN REMAINS ON, AND THE ENGINE SEEMS INAPPROPRIATELY HOT, YET I HAD NOT DRIVEN THAT FAR. IDEAS RANGE FROM A BLOCKED RADIATOR, A POOR THERMOSTAT? THE COOLANT HAD BEEN CHANGED. HAS ANYONE ELSE REPORTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM? IT WAS ONLY 70 TO75 DEGREES AND OFTEN A BIT HUMID, BUT USUALLY AT NIGHT SINCE I SELDOM DROVE IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY. IT WAS PARKED AND THE TEMP OF THE ENGINE WAS NEVER ABOVE 190 DEGREES, THOUGH THE ENGINE FELT HOT. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES (10 PLUS) MOSTLY DURING THE WINTER IN FLORIDA. I REPORTED IT ONCE BUT THE TECH DIDN'T SEE IT AS A PROBLEM.WHAT DO YOU THINK?
