2007 Volkswagen GTI Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	699871
Internal NHTSA #	10247902
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	GTI

File date	04/07/08
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On washing the car (2007 vw gti 2. 0 2h) the third brake light cracked and fell from its housing in several pieces. The main body of the part remains attached by the electric cable. The factory resolution is to send the car to a body shop to remove the factory spoiler and replace the light assembly. The factory manual warns that this is a multi-day job and may result in a broken spoiler and possible body damage. This appears to be a violation of fmvss 108 which requires that replacing the bulbs be simple and require only common tools. The added costs are beyond reasonable expectations and were not set forth as part of the purchasing decision.
