Volkswagen Ignition Lock

Volkswagen ignition locks are notorious for getting the key stuck in the ignition lock.

The problem stops you from.

  • Key will not turn off the car
  • Key will not start the car
  • Key is stuck in ignition lock
  • Key won’t turn in ignition
Volkswagen and Audi vehicles have the common issue of the ignition lock cylinder getting stuck and leaving the vehicle disabled. 
 
Most of the time this can happen without warning signs. 
 
Symptoms can be a hard to turn key, refusal for the key to turn forward, or the key stuck in the ignition with the car running. 
 
Other symptoms are the vehicle radio or gauge cluster staying on and the key fob not locking or unlocking the doors due to the ignition switch not returning to the off position.
