Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased my third volkswagen new beetle - recognize that my second one, a 2003 was a lemon  5 right rear tail lights replaced and 2 headlights. also had to have the intermittent wiper relay replaced - see odi #10074539.*ak dealer traded me for a 2004, on 4/6/04 and not even 2 weeks into my purchase, the drivers side window would not operate properly. thought i was imagining things, especially after my last experience. i put the window down (electronically) and then put it up and it comes down by itself  certainly another safety fault of this car. it happened 2 more times before i called the dealer  they told me oh, we knew about that  bring it in and get it fixed. oh, here we go again! i buy a new car about every 3-4 years, as i drive a lot and want a very dependable car, with no repairs needed. i will never feel safe in a vw new beetle again. no matter if i never have another problem&& incidient date noted is when the dealer took my car to fix it...............
