Beetle

  • Manual transmission
  • 185,000 miles

I have had multiple electrical problems. Harness and wires melting, alternator and battery have been replaced 3 times, all of the engine lights go on, then the car just dies, the alarms go off every time it rains, constantly replacing headlamps. This has been going on since I purchased the car. VW had it for two weeks, they claimed they couldn't find the problem. This seems to be a common problem from what I am reading online.
