Wiring problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta

I've had to replace the headlights multiple times due to faulty electrical wiring inside the headlight unit that could have easily resulted in fires. Airbag fault hindering usage.

The vehicle was in motion with the seat heater on. I noticed a burning smell and then a burning sensation. By the time I was able to safely pull over, there was a hole in the right side of the driver's seat cover, exposing the wiring and foam. My coat and clothing were burned, as well as my back. There is also evidence of overheating/burning in additional locations of the seat cover, but it only burned through in one location. I turned off the seat heater and drove to the dealership where I was instructed to discontinue use of the seat heater. This occurred on 3/8/19 with less than 95k miles on the car.

On September 21, 2015, at approximately 8:00 am in the morning, my seat warmers had burnt out. I was on my way to work; it was a chilly morning so I turned the seat warmer on to 4. The highest it goes up to is 5. Soon after, I felt it was a bit too hot. When I looked down, I saw smoke! I could not stop anywhere so I immediately turned off the seat warmer. I remained calm until I arrived to a stop light. When I looked behind me I noticed 3 holes in my seat. Two little ones and one big one. You can see the burnt wires. I was so angry by the time I got to work. I drove over to vw nemer in latham, NY to have them check it out and make sure there was no engine problem. The service rep. Was not sympathetic and not very polite. He kept saying I should have called and I should have made an appointment. I told him I was going to stay there and wait to find out the results. He came back to tell me that the seat warmer burnt out and that was all. He also tried to get me to fix my brakes (I did not come in for brakes). He told me I would need new wiring and seat covers (leather) to fix it. I had an extended warranty and had to pay a $100 deductible. I am not paying that deductible. However, it does not matter, because for some reason my warranty expired, but my car has not reached 100,000 miles yet. . . I have written a complaint to vw demanding some type of resolution. They need to check their cars very thoroughly. I read that there was another seat warmer incident that happened in canada and vw did not take responsibility for it. I am afraid to turn on any heating system in the car now, because it too might fail and shock me. I have pictures to show my torn seats. I can send them if needed.

I drive a 2007 Jetta wolfsberg. In April 2010 I was leaving for work and the car wouldn't start. My husband went out and it started for him. No warning lights were on. A week later the car's engine just died while traveling 60mph on the freeway and would not start. Towed to dealership where they checked all the wiring harnesses and overlaid a wire. One day after receiving the car back I had trouble starting it again. Reported this to dealership service. Two days later the engine died while driving down a residential street and would not start. No warning lights were on. Towed back to service where they had a vw engineer look at the car. They ended up replacing the computer in the car. All service was covered under warranty. I have not had any problems since the computer was replaced. I am reporting this because of an article my aunt sent to me. The article said the government is investigating the same problem with other vw models (stalling, loss of power and engine).
