VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2008 Exterior Lighting Report #10637748
VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 02, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2008, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . THE 2008 MODEL FOR THE VW BEETLE APPEARS TO HAVE A DESIGN FLAW REGARDING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH ASSEMBLIES BECAUSE THE "HEADLIGHT BUCKETS" COME LOOSE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY INSIDE THE FENDER WHERE THE HOUSING UNITS ARE CONNECTED. THIS ISSUE MEANS THAT WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY COMES LOOSE AND HEADLIGHTS FAIL TO OPERATE. AT NIGHT, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I HAVE CONTACTED VW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND I AM SUPPOSED TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. I HAVE HAD BOTH ASSEMBLIES REPLACED WITH BRAND NEW UNITS AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS. MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY BELIEVE THEIR HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT AND HAVE IT REPLACED. WHEN THE HEADLIGHT IS REPLACED, THE UNIT IS REMOVED AND PLUGGED BACK IN AND CAN EASILY MASK THE REAL ISSUE. THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND A CONTINUOUS CONNECTIVITY ISSUE WITH THESE PARTS! VW NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFELY RECALL AND FIX THIS SO OUR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES REMAIN PLUGGED INTO THE POWER SOURCE! .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3VWRG31Y88M. Volkswagen Beetle 2008 problem was reported in WYOMISSING, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
