2008 Volkswagen BEETLE Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1036919
Internal NHTSA #	10562374
Manufacurer	Volkswagen of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	BEETLE
Model Year	2008
File date	13/12/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Instrument panel/dash lights 'flicker' when windshield wiper system is turned on. Flicker begins when wiper blade starts to move upwards across the windshield and stops when wiper blade reaches the end of its' downward stroke. Then it begins all over again when the next upward cycle starts. This is an operation hazard as it is very distracting for the driver especially at night and especially when operating the vehicle in the inclement weather that calls for the wipers to be activated in the first place! There has been a vw technical bulletin issued (tb-90-08-06) but the dealer will not perform the repair under any sort of warranty or goodwill program and it is not a covered issue under my extended warranty plan.
