Dealer issued keys are impossible to turn when attempting to turn off engine in stationary/park position. Have to flick key forward causing a power surge to shut the engine off. Process is getting worse, now fuel light is on stating that my fuel sensor is broken. Car has lost power when accelerating as well. This is all connected to the power surge needed to shut the car off. Dealership states, there has not been a recall for this type of issue, it will cost me upwards to $1000 to fix ignition cylinder. It looks like it's one of the only issues with this vehicle and is known by the dealerships. Dealership only advises to purchase new vehicle with "push to start." This will be our first and last VW.

While driving the vehicle, it starts to stall or have stalled while slowing down or sitting in rush hour traffic; or while stopped at a red light. The dealer stated the code was P0011 and the camshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. The part was about $75 and the labor just under $400. The check engine light came back on within 2 days and the issue started again. Now the dealer stated code P0011 again, and also code P0016 crank shaft position correlation which is the timing belt he stated. He also quoted a price over $3000 to have the work completed. I asked if this was the problem all along and the P0011 was misdiagnosed the last time since you have the same code again. Was the old position sensor bad or not. He could not answer. I told him I can't keep spending money if you can't grantee a fix. I don't want to come back in a few weeks with the same code, but the price keeps going up. Also, that stated they completed a recall update to the ECM software. I told them I was surprised as I had checked NHTSA and it stated 0 incomplete recalls. I know this as I researched the P0011 issue several weeks ago, and someone mentioned in a post to check for this update. This appears to be a common issue as many people on this site have similar complaints to my own, with the 2014 VW Jetta: Https://www.carcomplaints.com/Volkswagen/Jetta/2014/engine/engine_dies_stalls_while_driving.shtml I can't afford to keep paying for possible fixes. I need for VW to work on my vehicle and complete the repairs and make sure it's what is needed to resolve this issue. Also, I've noticed that since this issue has started, the car is burning fuel at an incredible rate; going from a half a tank to a quarter tank in a 12 mile trip to work and 12 miles back home, without any other stops. I would think 24 miles round trip in traffic would burn maybe 2 gallons, but not a quarter tank of gas.

Purchase (2 ) 2014 VW Jetta. The ignition cilinder stop working 6 months after buying the car. After numerous times at the dealer with the second Jetta and telling them something is wrong. The dealer kept on telling me their is no recall and I would have to replace it at my expense. This is a common problem since looking at this matter on the net.. at times this key problem is a hassard because it can make the electronics of the car fail. Does some have to die for this to be a recall and protect the consumers? please look into the matter and make VW own up to what is the right thing to keep people on the road and not six foot under. Key stop working while car is running, electronic frailer, you can turn keys to any position, can turn the car on, I was on vacation on a ferry and could not move the car cb the key could not be turned for anything.

I complained about this back in March and of course there was nothing done. This has been an ongoing issue with Volkswagen according to on line forums. We could not turn off our car, they key would not turn in the ignition. I had to pay over three hundred dollars to get another ignition from Volkswagen. Here it is just five months later and we are having the same problem, again! isn't it time to do something and make Volkswagen accountable, not only are the stock ignitions defective, so are their replacement ignitions. Please order a recall and make them responsible. This is obviously happening when I come to a stop, place in park and attempt to turn off the ignition, the key does not move.
