| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drove an hour away in the rain, parked for 15 minutes, and when i returned the engine would start but i had no use of wipers, heater/blower, or directional signals. since i dared not drive in the rain without wipers, and since it was a sunday, i had to get towed home. it was the ignition switch -- and when they tried to replace it, they found that its receptacle and nearby wires were all melted! vw says tough luck, it's my problem. *nm |
