NHTSA Complaint #10074541 — 2004 VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE

PURCHASED MY THIRD VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE - RECOGNIZE THAT MY SECOND ONE, A 2003 WAS A LEMON  5 RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED AND 2 HEADLIGHTS. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE INTERMITTENT WIPER RELAY REPLACED - SEE ODI #10074539.*AK DEALER TRADED ME FOR A 2004, ON 4/6/04 AND NOT EVEN 2 WEEKS INTO MY PURCHASE, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING THINGS, ESPECIALLY AFTER MY LAST EXPERIENCE. I PUT THE WINDOW DOWN (ELECTRONICALLY) AND THEN PUT IT UP AND IT COMES DOWN BY ITSELF  CERTAINLY ANOTHER SAFETY FAULT OF THIS CAR. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE I CALLED THE DEALER  THEY TOLD ME OH, WE KNEW ABOUT THAT  BRING IT IN AND GET IT FIXED. OH, HERE WE GO AGAIN! I BUY A NEW CAR ABOUT EVERY 3-4 YEARS, AS I DRIVE A LOT AND WANT A VERY DEPENDABLE CAR, WITH NO REPAIRS NEEDED. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN A VW NEW BEETLE AGAIN. NO MATTER IF I NEVER HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM&& INCIDIENT DATE NOTED IS WHEN THE DEALER TOOK MY CAR TO FIX IT...............
