What to Do If the Key of Your Volkswagen Vehicle is Stuck in the Ignition

Model: Volkswagen Volkswagen Various
Part: Key

This video is aimed at those with a key ignition vehicle. Clearly, those with keyless push-button start are already 'beyond' this problem. If the key is stuck in the ignition and won't come out, the car may not want to turn off, or the key may not turn fully. Grip the key with two fingers (index and thumb, or index and middle); pull outward with a firm motion, but without excessive force. The key should come out without any issues. This happens because the immobiliser locking mechanism has not fully disengaged. The internal electrical contact in the ignition does not detect the correct position, but also due to wear on the key or the ignition barrel.
