Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My turn signals and hazard lights stopped working suddenly at 50058 miles, dealer would not do work under warranty (50k). found that this part (hazard flasher switch/relay) was recalled on 2000-2002 vw golf, gti, and jetta. i have heard from other passat owners online that this has been a common problem for passat's too. vw needs to extend the recall to include. driving the 45 miles to the dealership to have this part replaced on major interstates without blinkers drove home the danger involved with this defective part!*jb
