I would like to report yet another failure of the safety/signalling light system on my 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. Recently, my reverse lights ceased to function, reducing visibility when backing up at night and failing to signal other drivers that I was backing up. I attempted to correct this problem myself by checking the bulb and fuse. Both of these "wear and tear" items were fine. I then took my car to the dealer who informed me that the "reverse light switch" had to be replaced. Dealer replaced the switch for about $100 and the problem is now corrected. I have recently taken part in the recall campaigns for the brake light switch and hazard light switch on this car, and I stongly feel that there is a comprehensive problem with the safety/signaling light electronic system on this car.
