Jetta Wolfsburg

  • Automatic transmission
  • 64,000 miles

I took the key from the ignition, went in to the grocery store, got in the car less that 20 minutes later, inserted the key again into the ignition and it would not go in! The car seems to identify that that there is a key in there because it dings when the door is open. Luckily there was an auto parts store in the same parking lot and I bought a screwdriver. Jiggled it around a bit, turned the steering wheel as best I could because it was locked. Then I jiggled the key, inserted the screwdriver in again, jiggled the key and SHOVED and it when in. SO frustrating. Then I read there is no recall and that other people have had the same issue. No warranty for this and the repair is expensive.

Biggest bummer I know!
