What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 volkswagen jetta wagon. The contact stated that the headlights were too dim for the contact to adequately see the road in front of her while traveling 25 MPH at night. The dealer was notified regarding the headlights but no action has been taken at this time. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive at night. The failure mileage was 1,000.
While starting my car and getting ready for work I noticed I had a headlamp out. I thought I could drive to work safely so, I started my commute. However, on stopping to get coffee I noticed I had taillights out and upon further testing brake lights were failing to. I stopped at a autoparts store to replace the tail lights and noticed that I had lost the other headlamp and backup lights. I decided to park the car and call the dealership for advice.
