Five problems related to headlights have been reported for the 1999 Volkswagen Beetle. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Purchased 1999 vw Beetle 20 months ago. Car has only 54,000 miles. Since owning the car have already over $3,500 in repairs. All of the repairs were done at my local darcar vw repair shop. I believe some of these repairs were recalls and have all receipt. Is there someone I can sent my repair receipts to to see if I can be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses which should have been recall services? I can forward receipts. Also seven days ago the passenger side window regulator broke and it appears it had been recalled per two vw owner who had same problems but I can't find the recall information on it. Can you suggest how I can view all recalls for 1999 vw Beetle GLS?.
Electrical 1st the dealer charges for eveything they look at, and the work is never under warranty or recall. I have had two headlamps go out intermittently. My a/c switch when out, now the whole unit has gone out. The cost for repairs are outrageous. And they always rig their cars with special tools, so you cannot gpr elsewhere for service.
Dealer had to replace headlights 7 times this year. Consumer states vehicle is not longer under warranty so she had to pay $60. Oo for each head lamp.
Headlights burnt out.
Headlights aimed too high.
