Beetle 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Dt : the key will not turn in the ingition. Had to wait up to 10 minutes in order to get the vehicle to start. Once it started it stayed locked/parked. It was intermittently. Contacted the deale, they could not duplicate the problem and could not T replace parts until they duplicate. This started on May 15, 2005. Also the trunk release will not unlock from the button that used inside the vehicle. Dealer could not duplicate this problem either.
