Same turn signal issue as 04v584000 recall - turn signals and hazards worked periodically. Now they have stopped working all together. . Nhtsa recall 04v584000 for other vw models of this year, but not Passat. Is common for this year of vw Passat also per my internet research. Vw Passat needs to be added to this recall.
Flasher switch is failing. Turn signals blink once or twice and then stop. Same with hazard lights.
