Description of the problem	A few days ago i got a warning on my car saying the front right turn signal needed to be checked. It wasn't an emergency situation since the rear and side mirror turn signals still functioned. I had also heard about the recall online, so i thought maybe it was just telling me i was part of the recall and would need to take it in soon. Last night, driving in the dark, i lost a headlight, fog light, and the 3rd brake light. It was decided to make the 4 hour trip to the nearest vw dealer this weekend to have it looked at. This morning on my way to work, i lost virtually all of the remaining exterior lighting. Luckily it was a bright morning, and work is not far. Because of the loss of two brake lights, and assuming i would lose the other one, i had vw tow my car today to the dealer to be repaired. This is my list of lights lost as of 12. 6. 13 8:00 am: fr dipped beam, fr turn signal, fr main beam, fr fog light, fl side light, rl turn signal, rl brake light, rr side light, 3rd brake light, r reverse light, and license plate light. Fortunately i am still under warranty, so it will be repaired at no cost to me regardless of an official recall.
