Headlights Problems of Volkswagen Golf

My issue seams similar to a filing last year "10654071". I started the car to leave from work, and I receive nine separate exterior light faults. It affected both the front right, left rear, right rear, side marker lights, and plate light. All stopped working at the same time. There was no warning. And no fuses were blown. I was driving at night when this happened, I was lucky that one headlight continued to work. This made for a very difficul.

Low beam headlight electrical problem one side of vehicle low beam headlight does not work. I noticed passats and jettas have had this recalled and it is due to an electrical wiring issue. This is not a bulb replacement since bulb has been replaced several times and still not working. It is an issue with the hood when it closes knocking the electrical connection out. Same issue as the passats and jettas. Why was this not recalled for the Golf as well?.

First sympton was a faulty warning light stating, incorrectly, that a bulb was dead. Replaced headlights under advice from dealer that the error was due to faulty voltage from a dying bulb. Condition worsened. Information center began stating that all bulbs were out each time you started the car and then finally, lights began to fail. The car lost all exterior passenger side lights and had only intermittent use of rear driver side lighting. Dealer then diagnosed problem as a melted fuse box but could not give reason for melting. No modifications have ever been made to the car. A quick interenet search revealed many people with the same problem across many Volkswagen models and that the dealer's fix of just replacing the fusebox may not address the underlying problem which may be due to a wire to the fuse box. Over $700 spent to date on repairs with no understanding of why vw fuse boxes are melting and wondering how long till my new box melts too.

Just purchased a vehicle that came with daytime running lamps as a safety feature. There are no defects or failures with the vehicle but this drl feature creates an unsafe condition. My vehicle came equipped with the xenon headlamps. The vehicle does not have an auto on headlights feature. The main thing I'm concerned with is that you could be driving with just your headlights on and the rest of the lights off, which I have done already several times and seen other vehicles on the road doing the same thing and that is very unsafe. I've also been pulled over by the police for not having my lights on. I think that I'm driving with all my lights on just to realize that I'm driving with just the drl. On my vehicle, once you release the parking brake, my regular low beam xenon lights automatically come on and if you are driving into the night, you don't realize that you are driving with your lights off, like I mentioned the normal low beam headlamps comes on once the parking brake is released. I understand that the auto maker is trying to make the vehicle as safe as possible but is also creating an unsafe condition at the same time. The auto maker refuse to allow the drl feature to be turned off even though drl are not mandatory.

While I have no incident to report, I would like to prevent future incidents. My car, like lots of older vehicles, suffers from uv clouding of the headlight lenses, which diminishes their effectiveness in illuminating the roadway at night. Surely this is a safety concern. Equally surely, the manufacturers are aware of it. So why is this deficiency of design or manufacture not the subject of recalls?.

2002 Volkswagen Golf has had numerous problems. The most recent problem is that the coil spring broke while the consumer was driving causing damage to the strut. Now the consumer has to pay to get the vehicle fixed. The consumer stated the problems started after the warranty ended. The battery died. 5 days later, the mil appeared and the vehicle was misfiring. In March of 2007 the engine light illuminated due to a faulty coil. In April of 2007 the battery light illuminated due to a failed alternator. The right headlight was inoperative, the catalytic converter was replaced. Updated 12/12/07.

Recently I had the same problem regarding the brake lights saying on after I turned off my 2003 Volkswagen Golf and they continued to stay on. I first experienced the right front headlight going out, then the left front light went out and I had to drive home with the high beams on. We replaced the headlights but the right front still would not work. I then had the problem of the brake lights. I had to disconnect the battery for fear of draining the battery or having an electrical fire. I had the car repaired. I continue to have electrical problems. I do not know if the car had similar problems because I bought the car used.

These 2 items concerned me greatly as to the safety of the vehicle. The plastic fuel line failed due to cold weather, below zero, and being hit by slush ball from a truck. Had the fuel line been metal, there would have been no failure. The second item, the headlights is more critical. They failed to work on low beam. This failure happened unannounced and is very dangerous. I drove the rest of the way home with my high beams on.
