Failed state safety inspection: 'fog lights remain on once hi-beam lights are activated.' My wife purchased a brand new 2015 Volkswagen Cc from atlanta Georgia Volkswagen dealership. She moved from ga to md in April 2018. Therefore, she had to have the car md safety inspected. The car failed because the fog lights remained on once the hi-beam lights were activated. Md state laws requires the fog lights to automatically shut off when the hi-beams are on. This car has never been in accident nor service by anyone other than Volkswagen. I took the car to local Volkswagen (pohanka) and they ran diagnostic. Unfortunately, the Volkswagen mechanic identified the vehicle as being coded incorrectly with (german specification) verses us specifications. Pohanka service manager contacted Volkswagen directly and they charged me $125 to fix. I have a major issue with this payment but need to pass the md inspection. The car was purchased brand new from a 'atlanta, Georgia Volkswagen dealership in the United States' and big Volkswagen would not honor fixing this safety issue. The car has $43K miles and was originally registered in ga. Volkswagen mentioned the car is pass its warranty. I don't argue that point but they sold a vehicle that didn't not and would not have passed any state safety inspection that requires fog lights to automatically turn off when activity the hi-beams. So, since they know it's a problem and only. According to the mechanic after talking with big Volkswagen, this has been a known but refuse to issue a recall because enough people are complaining. I am highly upset that I had to spend $125 to fix a safety issue for a brand new car. It's not going to be an issue until someone is injured. Who else do I need address my issues with about this safety issue? please advise.
