Oh yeah,
I have.. Called owning a VW. Sorta one of the wonderful German
engineering specs. I guess safety concern too. It's called ALL
vanagon's do that.
To show ya. Insert key, turn to 'on' position. Litely turn the
key to turn the negine over, and stop!, but don't let the engine
start. The ignition should smack the key back to the 'on'
position. Now try to start it again. Nothing should happen.
Wounderful. Freaks soem ppl out. Typical engeneering.. LOL Have
fun.
