Headlights problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta

Low beam headlights both went out and refuse to turn on. Bulbs and fuses are fine as well as the brights work just fine. The problem started this morning as I went to leave for work.

After replacing three right side headlight bulbs in my 20k miles of ownership, last week both headlights went out at the same time while driving down the highway. I heard a strange noise as if a relay was continuously being triggered. I have heard lots of strange relay sounds(chatter) from beneath the dash of this vehicle. I checked fuses; though Volkswagen does not provide or publicly publish fuse box diagrams, I was able to confirm continuity on each fuse. My next step was to change the headlight bulbs so as usual I bout the top of the line bulb for the car, this didn't change a thing. I brought the car into a Volkswagen dealer who claims the bulbs just burnt out at the same time because I was using "aftermarket bulbs". In other words, I would have to bring my car into the dealer to replace simple electrical components such as bulbs and fuses. As an electronics specialist working in research and design I find the rate at which the bulbs are failing to be both alarming and indicative of a problem some where else in light power circuit (relays, shorts, tolerances) . It seems like many other vw Jetta owners for 2011-2014 are having this issue. I am very unhappy with the fact that I have to bring my car in to a shop to have headlights replaced. While at the same time vw publishes no information for the vehicle owner to troubleshoot these issues on their own. Kinda seems wrong, maybe illegal.

The door locks wont work, keeps just clicking, this is a safety feature when driving alone or stopping at red lights, anyone can enter your vehicle at anytime. The key gets stuck in ignition wont turn. Headlights keep blowing.

Headlight bulbs continuously burnout. Have required replacement every 2000-2500 miles or less. Sometimes one side burns out only. When that side is replaced, the other side will burnout in 2 weeks or less time under normal highway driving. This is major safety defect that is known to vw.

Repeated and frequent headlight failure/burn out. Chronic issue. Both headlamps.

Headlights stopped working on dim. Then tailights went out. We've had the car 2 1/2 years and this is second time the headlights have went out like this. When the headlights went out, the bluetooth also wasn't working the way it had previously. Also, the windows will sometimes not respond properly. They will go the opposite way that I am directing it to do. (push for up and it goes down, for example). These incidences happen both when vehicle is moving and stationary.

Headlamps and fog lamps burning out. May be bad 173 or 109 relay or wire coming from fuse box, fuse 16 is too small. May also be bad software in headlight control module.

Low beam issue, I have had to replace my headlight numerous times and they keep going out without the bulb being bad.

Repeated headlight failure. Driver and passenger headlight bulbs require replacement after 3-4 months.

Headlights need to be replaced on . Does not matter the quality of bulbs that we buy they're burning out at least 3 times a year. Sometimes singularly but has happened to both headlights at same time before. This has been going on for several years now.

The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving approximately 25 mph, the headlights failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlights and module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 35,999.

My headlights going of yesterday when I turn on I have to drive back home on dark road! this was very dissapointed situation since the dealer sell this car to me as a certified vehicle, also my car vibrates everytime that I breaking on the road that star happening right after I take the car oout of the dealer!.
