This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Turn signals operate intermittently or cease working after a few flashes. The immediate failure mode"violates the FMVSS, and subjects the driver to citations for failing to properly signal a turn and/or defective equipment. Safety hazard for surrounding traffic putting vehicle at greater risk.
Emergency light switch (hazard switch) there was a VW recall issued to replace this switch that not only controls the hazard flashers but also the turn signals, in the jetta, golf, & gti. My Beetle uses the same switch I am wondering why it was not included in this recall (VW recall vx). My switch has the same intermittent problem as described in the March 2005 recall letter, I will be replacing the switch on my own Accord, but this bulletin should include the VW new Beetle model in my opinion.
