| 2002 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH | ON 7-30-2005 I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AND WHILE STOPPED REFUELING NOTED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING OFF AND THE LIGHTS OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE BRAKE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT CHAPLIN'S VOLKSWAGEN IN BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON ON 8-2-05. VW HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT WITHIN THE RECALL THEY HAD ON BRAKE LIGHT SWITCHES. HOWEVER, WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP TWO OTHER NEWER VW JETTAS WERE ALSO THERE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM FREQUENTLY. OBVIOUSLY THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH 2004 (NEWEST MODEL PRESENTED AT THE DEALERSHIP). FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REAR ENDED EN ROUTE TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JB |
