This car was purchased as a dealer demonstrator with 6700 miles on it. The night we drove it home the right HID headlight unit failed. It took the dealer 2 weeks to find and install a new unit. The car could not be driven.

The right headlight failed at 1500 miles and was repaired by the dealer. The same headlight failed again at 3000 miles. The dealer says it cannot be repaired - the entire assembly needs to be replaced. I have been waiting for over a month for that new assembly. The dealer and "VW Customer Care" both say the part is on backorder. I do not know what to do next short of beginning "lemon law" action against VW.

I had only had my car a few months when the 1st headlight went out -- driving down the road with 1 headlight in a fancy car, yea looks really bad. So I had it fixed ..Then maybe a couple weeks poof the other is now out . So I have to find time to go sit in the dealership and have that one fixed tooo.. just a real pain .
