Power Steering Pump Problems of Volkswagen Jetta

On July 1st ,2020 upon arrival to a store once in park and I tried to turn the car off the key would not turn at all meaning the car was not able to be shut off after about 20 minutes of trying to turn the steering wheel thinking it was locked I finally got the car to shut off after googling it and reading many other forums that talked about the same car issue I was having it said to pull the emergency brake and then to turn the key so I did and it finally shut off it stayed parked till July 6 th that I went to a few different mechanics in town I found one that tried to help same with him he could not turn the key to shut the car off he advised me to take it to the dealership being that it was an hour away and I was low on gas I had to pump gas with the car running because I again was not able to shut the car off which I felt unsafe doing but at this point I no longer knew what to do I called the dealership before leaving she said they were backed up but to come down and they should be able to help upon arrival at the dealership I was told they could not help me until Friday!! while the worker was sitting in my car and he himself could not shut off I told him where in the parking lot should I leave it because there was no way that I could take it home and leave it running for 3 days they pulled to the side of the building and already had the hood up trying to shut the car off they called and said it would be 740. 00 plus taxes mind you it already had a scheduled appointment for the 13th for 2 recalls it had already.

2010 vw Jetta se not long after purchasing teh vehicle used in 2016, the abs and esc lights started coming on. We didn't really notice any change in the vehicle performance, but were concerned about the lights being on, especially since it concerned the brakes and stability. On 6/14/19 we took the vehicle to the local dealer to have this issue checked out. The receipt from that visit showed that the abs pump and module had faults. The dealership recommended replacing both at a cost of $2,610. We asked the service person what would happen if we didn't replace them and he said the brakes would still work but the abs might not function properly, but that we should be ok. We have continued to drive the vehicle with the lights on most of the time since then without any noticeable performance change; however, performance is starting to become an issue. The abs and esc lights have been remaining illuminated for quite some time now. Also in the last month or two the check engine light is now starting to come on periodically with a corresponding issue with the steering being more difficult. We are becoming more concerned about safety. As a result, we took the vehicle to an independent repair shop this week to get the problem checked out. He informed us that there is an active recall (16v913000) that would correct all of these issues. He gave us a copy of the recall and said we would need to take it to the local dealer to have the repair done. We contacted the local vw dealer and they told us the recall doesn't apply to our vehicle, so I then called the national vw customer service number and was told the same thing. What can we do to have vw honor the recall for our vehicle?.

Was driving and heard a clicking sound, shortly after my steering and brakes locked up, and then the entire car stalled. I was unable to restart the engine. Had car towed into the vw dealership where they told me my fuel (diesel for Jetta tdi) was contaminated causing the fuel pump to burst which lead to metal shards destroying the entire fuel system. However, I am 100% positive, and have receipts for proof, that the car had been filled up with diesel gas about 1 week prior to the incident and was running completely smoothly up until the sudden break down.
