Volkswagen Car Cannot Be Turned Off and the Key Gets Stuck? The reason may be that the steering wheel is locked. More reasons and their solutions are as follows: Reason 1: The car's computer system generally has an anti-theft function. If the steering wheel is turned left or right before pulling out the key after turning off the engine, it will activate the anti-theft mode and lock the steering wheel, which is a self-protection setting. Solution 1: Turn the key with one hand and turn the steering wheel with the other hand to unlock it. Whether it unlocks or not may be a matter of technique. Try once or twice, and it should unlock. Then you can pull out the key. For automatic models, if the car is turned off without shifting to P gear, the key cannot be pulled out. The function of the P gear is for parking, which is used to lock the transmission. The internal pawl locks the planetary gear of the transmission, which is a measure to protect the transmission. If you forget to shift to P gear after turning off the engine and cannot pull out the key, just press the brake and shift the gear from N to P. Turn the key from the ON position to the LOCK position, and it can be pulled out. Reason 2: Sometimes, after turning off the engine, even shifting to P gear may still result in the key being stuck. This is because the computer did not receive a signal after the car's power was cut off. Solution: You can turn on the power again, press the brake to start the car, shift to P gear, and then turn off the engine.
