A FUSE HAS MELTED (NOT BURNED OUT IN THE TYPICAL MANNER), AND MELTED PART OF THE FUSE BLOCK. THIS CAUSED ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE TO MALFUNCTION. HEADLIGHTS ON ONE SIDE, ONE TURN SIGNAL, BULBS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES (BOTH SIDES), ONE BACKUP LIGHT AND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. ALL APPEARED TO BE BURNED OUT. UPON REPLACEMENT OF THE FUSE, ALL WORKED PROPERLY. FROM RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE FOUND NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON THESE VEHICLES FROM 2009-2013, USUALLY AROUND 40-50,000 MILES. THE LOSS OF THESE LIGHTS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE TO THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GETTING SO HOT AS TO MELT THE WAY IT DID. IT HAS BEEN STATED THAT VW OF AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS...UPDATED 09-18-13 *BF THE FUSE WAS REPLACED TO GET ALL OF THE LIGHTS WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN.
