Description of the problem | In the past year, the headlights (not daytime running lights) have gone out intermittently on two or three occasions, one while driving and the others while starting the vehicle. So far it's just been one at a time, but it made it reasonably harder to see while driving. If both go out together, this could be bad! The vw dealer found a burnt out bulb but cannot determine any other reason after troubleshooting. They said the bulb filaments are very close and going over a bump could short it. That's bad design with safety risk involved. Also, many other jetta owners complain online about the same problem. |
