WHEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE VW EMBLEM ON THE STEERING WHEEL POPPED OPEN TO THE LEFT AND THE AIRBAG PUSHED IT INTO MY LEFT ARM WHICH CAUSED A BURN AND MY ARM TO BLEED. I KNOW HAVE A GOOD SCAR ON MY LEFT ARM. IF THAT EMBLEM WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THERE OR WOULD HAVE MAYBE OPENED DOWNWARDS I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH A SMALL AIRBAG BURN TO THE RIGHT HAND ONLY.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, IN THE ON POSITION, REPEATEDLY, SO YOU CAN'T TURN OFF THE ENGINE. VARIOUS "BAND AID FIXES" POSTED ONLINE BY SIMILAR SUFFERERS OF THIS PROBLEM, SUCH AS PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THEN IN PARK REPEATEDLY, OR APPLYING STRONG INWARD PRESSURE WHEN TURNING THE KEY ONLY "HELP" INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY NOTHING WORKED, AND HAD TO LEAVE IT IN PARK, IDLING AND UNLOCKED WHILE WAITING FOR A LOCKSMITH/MECHANIC TO COME REMOVE THE IGNITION, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD, NOT MECHANICALLY, BUT FOR THEFT, IN AN EMERGENCY, OR JUST GOING ABOUT THE DAY. THE VEHICLE SAT AT IDLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE LOCKSMITH COULD COME. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE JETTA, AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND CANNOT TURN THE CAR OFF. IT ALSO STICKS WHEN OFF AND CANNOT GET THE CAR STARTED. IN A WEB SEARCH I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPLACE IS ~$800 THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM AND HAPPENS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS. VW CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.
