I bot w/ only 40,000 miles approx. I drive alot. Its about 70,000 now. One tire sensor is out and the person at frirestone said theyll go out again and its hard to know which tire it is. The ele trical is a mess. I finally took it to my mechanic. It is defnitely electrical. This car is not a good value as everything breaks on it and I dont speed and add additives and b\'baby" it. I'm 62. It has to last. But it is not. I see theres recalls for it concerning eleectrical, yet the dealer says no never ha da recall. The night half my lights went out was after thanksgiving as I was traveling the grapevine in cal. I was lucky not to be in an accident

The low beams on driver and passenger side have failed 12 times and required me buying new h7 bulbs. They have on 3 occasions went out simultaneously while driving at night on the highway. The rear tail light also randomly turns off, requiring opening and shutting the trunk to get it to come back on or shutting off the car and restarting it to get the taillight back on. This has been occurring since 30k miles, my vehicle now has 135k.

Passenger airbag light randomly came on because of some sort wiring issue. Headlight bulbs constantly short out. I've had to change atleast 10 bulbs in less than a year. Headlights go out and tailights... These are 2 seperate issues. But if you google it, they are both common issues. It's been an issue on my car for years, but I didn't realize I could report it.

Premature low beam headlight bulb failure. The low beam h7 bulbs fail after just 2 to 3 months of use. I have used oem bulbs, sylvania bulbs of every level, and the bulbs still fail after a short time. Doing a quick online search will show many people have this same problem with even newer (same body style) jettas.

Low-beam headlights go dark within a year at best. I have replaced headlight bulbs at least 6 times since I've owned it. I recently replaced one bulb and the next day it was out. Upon inspection, the bulb does not appear to be 'burned-out'. Other lights function, including the low-beam on the other side of the car.

My horn and front right parking light both stopped working at the same time. I noticed there is a recall for the same make/model/year as my car, but my VIN is not included. I will need to have this repaired and pay for it, however, I do hope vw and the federal safety agency sees this is a problem and expand the recall to include more models.
