problem #2

Beetle 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,810 miles
The turn signals and hazard some times work, or they just stop working for days at a time am going to take car in to dealer to find out what the problem is and have it fixed. Now they have failed all together and am afraid I am going to get in to a accident if I don't get them fixed. This has been going on for a year.

Beetle 4-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 119,750 miles
Emergency light switch (hazard switch) there was a VW recall issued to replace this switch that not only controls the hazard flashers but also the turn signals, in the jetta, golf, & gti. My Beetle uses the same switch I am wondering why it was not included in this recall (VW recall vx). My switch has the same intermittent problem as described in the March 2005 recall letter, I will be replacing the switch on my own Accord, but this bulletin should include the VW new Beetle model in my opinion.
