Volkswagen New Beetle 2008 Electrical System Review #10265451

VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 15, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i purchased a 2008 new beetle in 2008, trading in a 2005 new beetle convertible model. i have also previously owned a 2000 model. after about two months of ownership with the 2008 new beetle, i began experiencing problems with the key not being able to turn in the starter. i found i had to use a great deal of force and over the course of the next four months broke two keys off in the ignition. in march 2009, i was down to my last key when the starter became stripped, with the key spinning and not triggering the starter at all. at this point, the car was towed to the vw dealer, which ordered a replacement starter. i waited 17 days for the repair to be completed because, i was told, there were hundreds of backorders nationally for this starter part. when i received the car back with the new part, i immediately began experiencing the same problem. i also noted the same problem in two loaner cars (2009 models of the vw new beetle) provided by my dealer. i never experienced this problem with my 2000 or 2005 models. i called to report this to the dealer and was told to call vw. i just called vw and they advised to take the car back for possible replacement of the part again. i told vw i would do so, but that i lack confidence that yet another replacement will solve the problem as i suspect there has been a change of design affecting the part. i asked vw if they had knowledge of a problem and was told they don't track warranty repairs for possible part problems, so i decided to file a complaint here. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5975 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3VWPW31CX8M. Volkswagen New Beetle 2008 problem was reported in BEL AIRE, KS. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 2008, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . this vehicle has been taken into a dealer's service department for six headlamp repair/replacements in 2 years (oct 2009, nov 2009, apr 2012, feb 2011, and dec 2011). the last time, both headlamps went out almost at once, creating a real driving hazard since it was at night. this headlamp is not easy to repair - evidence the damage done in replacement of the right headlamp by one dealership and subsequently repaired by another dealer's service department. vw of america has offered a one-time payment that should cover up to four additional headlamp repairs. to me, this represents an acknowledgement of a fundamental design flaw, but without formal recognition or publication of the problem. several public blogs exist that highlight this condition. i purchased another, non-vw new vehicle on the same week, and it has never had a headlamp outage. *tr.Mileage was 15000 miles.
