Brake Light Problems of Volkswagen GTI

The 3rd brake light has failed to work and while there is power to the power module there is no way to access the led brake light panel without removing the rear spoiler and replacing it with a new one with a cost of $500 to change the light for inspection.

I want to complaint about the 3rd high mount brake light on my 07 Volkswagen Gti that I have one of the light out among the light and I try to replace the light in a Volkswagen dealership and they said that they would not replace it because I only have one light out unless I need four light out which I think it is impossible to make all lights are out within the warranty period. I think think have responsibility to fix it because even though one light is out it already not out of the factory condition. I have no idea that they need to wait 4 lights are out to fixed it. Also I want to complain that the third brake light is impossible to replace it by yourself because it is mount inside the spoiler, therefore I think the dealership have responsibility to replace even though it charges.

I can't replace the 3rd brake light bulbs on my 2008 vw Gti. There is no way to service them and the deal states they would have to physically rip off my spoiler to do so.

On washing the car (2007 vw Gti 2. 0 2h) the third brake light cracked and fell from its housing in several pieces. The main body of the part remains attached by the electric cable. The factory resolution is to send the car to a body shop to remove the factory spoiler and replace the light assembly. The factory manual warns that this is a multi-day job and may result in a broken spoiler and possible body damage. This appears to be a violation of fmvss 108 which requires that replacing the bulbs be simple and require only common tools. The added costs are beyond reasonable expectations and were not set forth as part of the purchasing decision.

Volkswagen Gti fahrenheit 3rd brake light not functioning. Took the care to the dealership and they cannot fix it . They need to cut the spoiler and replace the entire spoiler for just a led.
