1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/09/2003

I purchased a 2000 volkswagon beetle about two months ago and about two weeks after I brought it home the engine light went on. I read that these cars were coming with some kind of saftey defect in the engine and that's the same exact problem the dealer hasn't been able to fix twice already going on three times. The engine light keeps going on and these people seem to believe they know what they are doing. What should I do I don't want the car to cause some kind of accident or endanger my family or me.

2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2003

Ongoing electrical problems/false positives for the check engine light. Gel-like substance in the oil. Frequent replacement of interior/exterior lights. Nlm.
