| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In 2004, my 2000 vw jetta's break lights failed to turn off. when i took the car in for service, the dealer replaced a switch. several months later, vw were issued a recall on vehicle to replace the brake light switch which would either fail to turn off or fail to turn the break lights on. vw refunded the amount i had paid to repair my vehicle. on september 16, 2005, a driver notified me after a near miss at an intersection that my break lights were failing to light. i brought my car to the dealership and they claimed that the switch had failed, but said that it was not covered under the original recall because the switch had already been replaced. the recall repair work did not repair my vehicle. the break light switch failed after the recall repair was made. *jb |
