Orginial owner had recall done for ignition switch. Problem reoccurred. Without warning, the ignition switch would sometimes stick and keep the starter engaged. Other times, the A/C, radio and lights would not go on although the vehicle was running. Consumer had to manually set the key in a position that would turn the items on. On several occasions driving over a bump would turn all electircal items off.

The ignition switch does not turn back to "motor" position after engaging the starter. The internal spring (from the ignition switch), is not operating properly. Anytime I start the car I have to be careful to rotate the key in the motor position; if I do not do this, the starter remains engaged after the engine is on.I have contacted the dealer (Audi/Porsche in middleburg heights oh 44130) to replace the switch as a recall, but I as told the recall is only for cars older than 1996.
