2002 vw Cabrio convertible, when it rains the lights, electrical locks and dome lights turn on and off, the whole electrical lighting and electronic switch failure occurs. Like the care is possessed, I called Volkswagen and they said this is not a safety issue, however have you ever driven a car at night with the lights inside and out going on and off. Now I have to manually turn everything on and off, this is not the vehicle guarantee that I bought into. I believe this should be fixed as it is a real hazard on the road, however Volkswagen thinks differently since there is no recall. All of the vw mechanics in my area are very aware of this issue and it will cost over 3000. 00 to fix everything including the alarm that is no longer functional due to the electrical issue that this car has. I have been trying for a year or so to see if they will fix this issue so now I am just going to file a complaint to see if you can help in getting the issue fixed before someone gets killed in this car.
I own a 2002 Volkswagen Cabrio, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, inc. My turn signal and hazard flasher have stopped functioning. Initially it was intermittent, but it has finally stopped working. Fuses have been checked. It's exactly like the NHTSA campaign# 04v584000 - the same problems other vw models of the same year had.
Consumer stated the power locks, mirrors, heated seats, and cruise control stopped working.
The trunk light was inoperative. On one occasion the passenger power lock had become inoperative, and on another occasion, the power locks, electric mirrors, seat heating, cruise control, and power windows had become inoperative.
