My key constantly gets stuck in the ignition. My car turns on but not off which leaves me to unhook the battery and take out fuse so no one steals my car overnight. A lot of people I know with Jettas are having this same issues. I think it is a malfunction with the ignition switch. I also have a lot of electrical issues. My horn does not work, windshield wiper fluid doesnt work, my passenger window as well! there needs to be a recall ASAP !.
Faulty horn in both stationaty and moving positions. Will work and then suddenly stop working. Replaced horn right after purchase, but continued to have problems later.
Less than 30000 miles replaced transmission, airbag light stay on ,no horn,no steering wheel controls. Same thing recalled for Jetta, but not Jetta hybirds. .
The horn stopped working 1 week ago. I am also replacing bulbs every 2 months. I can't use my horn and the dealer is charging me a crazy fee to fix this. I am not the only one that's going through this.

"takata recall" I have replace my headlights 5x within the last 4 years. When replace only works for about 6-9 months then I have to replace it again. One time I waited for 1yr to replace the head light and magically it came back on. I was like wow, really. Now my doors and horn is gone out. My horn only works when it wants to. My doors lock but it takes a while for it to figure it out. You have to hit the bottom like 3x before it works.
Horn works intermittently, causing a safety issue if it is unavailable while driving. Horn works 1 day (via steering wheel and alarm/lock activation), but does not the next day. This has been occurring on my vehicle for 2-3 months.
