Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1999 volkwagen beetle has a melted fuse block on top of the battery. i believe this was caused by the fuses being faulty as one leg of the fuse was completely burned off and the fuse was still not blown. i believe this is a fire hazard that should be looked into. on the website newbeetle.org, there are several more instances of this occurring including photos. *ak
