general problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

Key got stuck inside ignition. I couldnt turn car off for over 10 minutes. It has occured several times in last month just getting worse now.

Vehicle stalls randomly while idling and has happened twice will driving at low speeds, which causes loss of power steering. The car also drives rough before, and the stalling happens sometimes 3-4 times a day and other times not at all.

This vehicle came from the manufacturer with dunlop sp sport 01 a tires (225/40r18) (August 2012 purchase). Within nine months (8800 miles) two tires developed sidewall bubbles. After contacting dunlop, they replaced two tires st no charge. At that time, the goodyear/dunlop retail store slowed me to purchase a tire warranty on all four tires. Over the past six years and 80,000 miles, I have replaced fourteen (14) of these tires under the warranty and have had to purchase a warranty with each replacement tire. These tires are the only tires I have ever owned in almost 40 yrs of driving that have developed sidewalk bubbles. I have other tires from a different manufacturer with the same size tire on a different vehicle and they have not developed any sidewall bubbles. These tires are a safety hazard and should be recalled and replaced by goodyear/dunlop. The first bubble was 6/14/13 and the latest bubble was 9/8/18.

The vehicle is stationary and in park. The key will not turn in the ignition, even to start the car. When the car can be started, and is running and placed in park, the key will not come out of the ignition and the car is difficult to turn off.

The vw dealership in dubuque iowa that I called told me that he has heard this has been a common issue but he didn't know how to help me. He told me I could try breaking the key. However that made no sense because the car would still be running, I would still have to pay to get the key out, replace whatever is wrong with it, and buy a new very expensive key.
