Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At about 30,000 mile, there was a failure of electronic intsrumentation panel due to some kind of short circuit, which they fixed under warranty. this same thing happened again at about 60,000 mile with same symptom, which i could not fix it because its warranty was over. but, i strongly believe that its instrumentation is faulty part if same part has a failure twice within 60,000 miles when other instrumentation panel last more than 220,000 mile in my other vw jetta without any failure at all.*ak
