Consumer Description
THE IGNITION SWITCH IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO TURN OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM. I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND A COMMUNITY OF OTHER VW OWNERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE VW MODELS (MANY JETTAS LIKE MINE). THE VEHICLE IS SAFELY PARKED, ETC, AND THE KEY MUST BE TURNED SO HARD THAT IT FEELS LIKE ONE COULD BREAK/DAMAGE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH BEFORE IT RELEASES.
