Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I would like to report yet another failure of the safety/signalling light system on my 2000 volkswagen jetta. recently, my reverse lights ceased to function, reducing visibility when backing up at night and failing to signal other drivers that i was backing up. i attempted to correct this problem myself by checking the bulb and fuse. both of these "wear and tear" items were fine. i then took my car to the dealer who informed me that the "reverse light switch" had to be replaced. dealer replaced the switch for about $100 and the problem is now corrected. i have recently taken part in the recall campaigns for the brake light switch and hazard light switch on this car, and i stongly feel that there is a comprehensive problem with the safety/signaling light electronic system on this car.
