Why can't the Volkswagen key be pulled out and the engine turned off?
2 Answers
The reason the key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine is that the gear is not fully returned to the P position. Below is an introduction to Volkswagen: 1. Introduction: Volkswagen AG is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, founded by Ferdinand Porsche on March 28, 1937. 2. Brands: The company owns brands such as Audi and Volkswagen. In May 2021, the '2021 Forbes Global 2000' was released, with the Volkswagen Group ranking 17th. 3. Development: On March 28, 2018, Volkswagen officially released the official images of the Atlas Cross Sport concept car, which made its global debut at the 2018 New York Auto Show. The car was also slated for future mass production in the United States.
Oh no, I had the same annoying issue last time driving my Volkswagen! The key just wouldn't come out no matter what, and the car kept buzzing. This situation is 80% likely because your gearshift lever wasn't fully pushed back to the P position lock point - the sensor didn't detect it and got the key stuck. Another common scenario is the steering wheel's automatic lock engaging; just turn the wheel slightly left or right while pulling the key. If neither method works, it might be poor contact with the anti-theft chip inside the ignition cylinder - try turning it back to ACC position after shutting off the engine. Worst case scenario could be a jammed spring plate inside the ignition switch assembly - that requires a mechanic to remove the steering column cover for inspection.
