EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY VW BEETLE IS A 2008. I JUST HAD THE 6TH LIGHT REPLACED ON 03/23/12. TOOK THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED THE 7TH LIGHT ON 03/26/12!! I AM NOT SURE OF THE ACTUAL DATE OF THE FIRST BLOWN LIGHT. HOWEVER, I DO KNOW THAT 7 RUNNING/HEADLIGHTS IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS IS NOT NORMAL! *TR

POWER TRAIN
CAR SPORADICALLY LOOSES POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SUDDENLY ACCELERATE AFTER MOMENTARILY LIFTING FOOT OFF GAS PEDDLE. MOST INSTANCES OCCUR WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY OR ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A NORMAL LEFT HAND TURN. EXAMPLE: GOING 60 MPH, LIFT FOOT OFF PEDDLE TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO CAR IN FRONT OF ME, SEE OPENING IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT, TURN WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO CHANGE LANES, FLOOR IT ONLY TO FIND I HAVE NO POWER WITH OTHER CAR BARRELING DOWN ON ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES BUT I AM UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT AT WILL.
