TL* - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING THE 2000 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE. THE CONTACT TURNED ON THE HEATER AND IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE HEATER EVENTUALLY TURNED ON, THE BLOWER STOPPED ,AND FLAMES STARTED COMING FROM THE HEATER VENTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,800. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL SWITCH. THE CONTACT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED AT A NON VOLKSWAGEN REPAIR SHOP. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SO CLOSE TO THE GAS PEDAL THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD OUR RIGHT SHOES WHILE ON THE GAS PEDAL GET STUCK UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. MY SHOE SOLE HAS REPEATEDLY GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT IS SCARY TRYING TO GET THE SHOE LOOSE TO BRAKE THE CAR. I SENT AN EMAIL TO VW OF AMERICA AND THEY STATE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE. I HAVE A FRIEND AT CHURCH WHO JUST BOUGHT AN IDENTICAL BEETLE TO OURS AND HE SAID HE HAS ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
