Consumer Description

A PLASTIC GEAR ON THE HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT BREAKS, PREVENTING THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEADLIGHT, AND CAUSES THE AIMING OF THE HEADLIGHT TO "DROP". THE ONLY METHOD OF REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I KNOW OF 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH 2000 PASSATS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK
