            Volkswagen
     is recalling 33,168 vehicles because drivers could inadvertently remove the car when the transmission is not in "Park," potentially allowing rollaway accidents and violating the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards rule 104. The recall affects versions of the 2015-2018 Golf and Golf SportWagen equipped with automatic transmissions.

> The problem stems from microswitches that are supposed to detect the position of the ignition switch and prevent the key from being removed. But Volkswagen says a silicate build-up on the microswitch contacts can prevent that. If an owner removes the car's key thinking the transmission is in "Park" when it is not, the car could roll away and cause an accident.
