problem #1

Jan 102004

Jetta 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 82,781 miles
When turn signal and/or hazard warning signals are used and left in the "on" position, the rate and which the signal lights blink gradually "slows". after the signals are left on for about 2 minutes, the signal lights cease to "blink" and eventually "freeze" and are constantly lit. If car were to become disabled, the hazard warning lights will work for about 1 or 2 minutes, and thereafter remain constantly lit, thus rendering them useless to warn approaching motorists of a disabled vehicle. The dealer replaced the hazaed switch to correct the problem.
