Thank you! I was watching a friends car and needed to move it off the streets and the same thing happened. Read some other blogs about issues with wires but didn't find any to jiggle. Found your site and it worked like a charm. Thought I was going to have to take it in before they came back.

Thanks! Now my car doesn't have to go into the shop for “at least a day”. VW folks said they'd never heard this either (& your incident was from 3 years ago…)

My 1999 Passat had a more severe problem. I have had the problem discussed by others but my shifter would not enter PARK easily and the button would not come out. Since the temperature was around zero fahrenheit I decided to leave the key in the ignition and remove the fob so I could at least lock the car. I assumed that as soon as temperature reached 32 degrees to shifter would work normally and a few days later the tempertures rose and the problem disappeared.

My Passat is a 2006 and has no overdrive button. The key is stock and no mater how many times I presss the button on the side of the shifter, the key will not release.
Any new ideas?
