Description of the problem | Headlights intermittently go out on startup. Occasionally both low beams, most of the time it is a single side. After multiple times starting and restarting the vehicle it will relight.... It can sit for hours and relight, or won't relight that day... It can still change between passenger and driver side and back. Bulbs check out ok, both headlight assemblies replaced, still no change- it can go out at any time. Does not seem to be related to temperature or humidity. Exceptionally dangerous if i'm somewhere at night away from home and the headlights won't come on; this actually happend on a cross country trip in the middle of the desert of arizona. I found multiple pages of similar people online who are having the exact same problem... This needs to be addressed asap, vw has a host of problems they refuse to address as warranty even when it is painfully obvious it is what they are bound to by their terms and conditions- their responsibility - regardless on what they choose to cover his is a serious safet issue that needs to be address before somebody is killed trying to drive home from a place they're stranded without headlights. |
