Consumer Description

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE IGNITION SWITCH THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND CAN NOT TAKE THE KEY OUT BECAUSE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH GOING BAD. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS PARKED OUTSIDE A GROCERY STORE AND SPENT 20-30 MINUTES JUST TO TAKE THE KEY OUT. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND USING THIS CAR NOW IS A PAIN AS I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL BE ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF.
