Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Stop brake light too dim on vw jetta 1999 old body style. i was driving on a local road with a safe distance to the car infront of me ( a jetta 1999 old body style) all of a sudden the car stopped and i never saw its tail lights turn on. consequently i rear ended the vehicle resulting in a total loss of my vehicle. interestingly the driver in the car infront of me told me that ever since he had purchased this card (about 2 yrs ago) he has been rear ended 3 times before. today i was driving down and i nearly rear ended another jetta of the same make and model. i was obeying all traffic laws and maintaining a very safe driving distance to the vehicle infront of me. i my self own the same jetta and several times i have heard complaints from other drivers that my tail lights are too dim and they nearly rear ended me. i will really appreciate if the office can investigate this issue. this will save a lot of people from getting injured. thank you junaid . *ak
