ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
BEGINNING ON DATE ABOVE, IGNITION FAILED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING COMPLETE LACK OF POWER. PULL-OFF TO ROADSIDE WAS UNEVENTFUL. EVERY DAY SUBSEQUENTLY IGNITION HAS FAILED WITH SIMILAR UNPREDICTABILITY, SOMETIMES ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEED. RESTART SO FAR HAS BEEN NORMAL. IGNITION SWITCH APPEARS TO OPERATE NORMALLY, BUT OCCASIONALLY BREAKS CONTACT WITHOUT ACTION OF THE DRIVER CAUSING UNPREDICTABLE AND UNEXPECTED SHUTDOWN OF IGNITION. THIS FAILURE COULD BE THE CAUSE OF SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY IF IT OCCURRED IN HEAVY AND OR FAST TRAFFIC WHERE TIME AND SPACE FOR RECOVERY ARE INSUFFICIENT. DEALER WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE HORN DOES NOT RESPOND PROMPTLY TO ACTUATION, TYPICALLY HAS ABOUT A 1 SECOND DELAY, WHICH MAKES IT UNSUITABLE FOR SOUNDING A WARNING IN ABRUPT LANE CHANGE SITUATIONS. DEALER STATES THIS IS NORMAL, AND I HAVE VERIFIED THAT OTHER VW GOLF/JETTAS OF THE 2010 AND 2011 MODEL YEARS RESPOND THE SAME. THIS IS A TOTALLY REPEATABLE ISSUE. *TR
