Purchased my third Volkswagen New Beetle - recognize that my second one, a 2003 was a lemon 5 right rear tail lights replaced and 2 headlights. Also had to have the intermittent wiper relay replaced - see odi #10074539. Dealer traded me for a 2004, on 4/6/04 and not even 2 weeks into my purchase, the drivers side window would not operate properly. Thought I was imagining things, especially after my last experience. I put the window down (electronically) and then put it up and it comes down by itself certainly another safety fault of this car. It happened 2 more times before I called the dealer they told me OH, we knew about that bring it in and get it fixed . Oh, here we go again! I buy a new car about every 3-4 years, as I drive a lot and want a very dependable car, with no repairs needed. I will never feel safe in a vw New Beetle again. No matter if I never have another problem&& incidient date noted is when the dealer took my car to fix it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
