Turn Signal Problems of Volkswagen Beetle

This car has had many electrical issues. The first time it was in the dealership due to lights, turning signals not working. The second time about 2 years later I lost all electrical controls. No lights, wipers, ac fan, ac adapter, radio, turn signals. Now just 5 months later I am noticing headlight issues. I have taken it back to the vw of ocala, they claim there is no electrical issue that I just need bulb replacement. After driving over an hour to get my car, I get in to find my windows are no longer working now.

The turn signals to not work. Consumer has to remove the bulb and replace them to make them work. Vehicle has been serviced for the ongoing problem, and the dealer has only replaced the bulbs. The consumer stated the bulbs that where replaced where not burnt out and the problem resides in the socket. The consumer stated that the connection between the socket and the bulb is not sound and therefore the bulb rattles. After tightening the bulb will work a few days and then the problem occurs again. The dealer just tightens the bulb but the problem is still there.

When following this vehicle in bright sun it is impossible to see the brake lights or the turn signal lights on the back of the vehicle. The sun just washes then out. They need to be mounted vertically and not on a slope as they are now.
