The car had an ignition problem. I could not turn the car off using the key. For many years it is had a problem of not always being able to easily start the car with the key. But time time I could not turn the car off without pulling a fuse. Obvious safety issues if a car won't turn off and basically useless vehicle. It had not been inspected by others, but online I found this problem is not uncommon. There where no warning messages of the problem prior to failure. As mentioned before, for years it has been difficult to turn on. First time I could not turn it off.
I purchased a 2009 VW jetta gli 4 door car and less than 1 day later the epc, ABS lights came on and many of the gauges were not working properly (speedometer, fuel, etc.) the sensors were fixed and the used dealership that sold me the car has had it off and on, in and out of the shop fixing those things, said the ABS module needed replaced. The dealership said it is on the recall for replacement and that the local VW dealership would fix it free of charge. The VW dealership told my husband and I today that the code didn't match to replace the ABS module. I looked the vehicle up in the campaign for the recall by VIN # and found it. This has been an issue since day 1. it is not safe as the car has decelerated in freeway traffic, brakes failing and not working properly in traffic and is going to cause an accident. My husband and I are nurses and we take safety of ourselves, families, and others very seriously. We would appreciate any information and/or help you can provide us.

My brakes frequently squeak. Something with the ignition also seems to not be working right when I try turning on my car, it won't start the first time(s) or starting is delayed.
