NHTSA complaint: 1998 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THE VW DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE ENGINE FAN CONTROL BOX WHICH ALSO BURNED WIRES IN THE ENGINE HARNESS THE DEALERSHIP ONLY REPAIRED WHAT THEY CONSIDERED NECESSARY. I WAS DRIVING 12/14/00, DURING THE RAIN AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, SIGNAL LIGHTS, AIR CONDITION, FAN CONTROL FOR HEAT, ETC., AND THE EMEMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON WITHOUT BEING PULLED UP. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE MAY HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING IN THE VEHICLE DURING THE RAIN. I PAID ALMOST $700.00 TP HAVE THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FIXED AFTER ONLY OWNING THE CAR FOR ONLY 4 MONTHS. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME IN FINDING OUT REPAIR INFORMATION BEFORE I INVEST ANY MORE $$$ INTO THIS VEHICLE?*AK
