About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Car will not start after being driven far enough to warm-up the engine. Must wait several minutes--up to an hour--before it will start again. The process of trying a restart results in much unburned fuel vapor in the exhaust stream. The interior lighting does not turn on or off with the opening of a door. Horn does not sound when locking the car, auto-drivers seat positioning does not work. On the highway, the car performs quite well--good engine power, steering, etc. However, the non-starting after being driven a distance could result in being stranded and placed in danger.

The contact owns a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the hazard lights did not function and the bulbs blew out. In addition, there was a clicking sound present inside of the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number 04V584000 (exterior lighting:hazard flashing warning lights:switch), but the vehicle was previously repaired. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
