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.
Brake lights remained on without brake pedal pressure, and remained on after turning off ignition. I investigated prior recalls and saw: Report receipt date: Feb 20, 2007 NHTSA campaign number: 07V063000 component(s): Exterior lighting I went to local VW for recall repair and was told that brake light repair was already performed in 2004, so this repair was no longer covered. ( I am second owner, so could not confirm.) a 2004 repair on a 2005 model year car for a recall issued in 2007" the brake switch replacement cost $176. Is this not the same recall failure again" I have had many cars and have never had a single brake light switch fail, except for this VW, which as of today has had three! (original, 2004 replacement and now 2013 replacement.) is the recall still in effect" should I have to pay for an obviously defective part replacement"
