1 Brake Light problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2006

I am 8 months pregnant driving with my one year old daughter in the car and was hit in the rear of my 2000 Jetta while stopped at a light. The women who hit me told me brake lights weren't on. Thankfully both the baby I am pregnant with and my 1 year old are ok but I had already brought my car in for this problem in 2004. Now the brake lights stay on constantly. Vw needs to address this problem before they kill me or my babies!!.

Vw Jettas. Common problem is that the brake lights stop working without warning. Owners are unaware of this. This is dangerous. 2000 and newer years. You should make them issue a safety recall.
