Consumer Description

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT OF MY 2008 VOLKSWAGEN R32 HAS A CONDENSATION BUILDUP. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE LIGHT IS CONSTRUCTED INTO THE BODY OF THE CAR, OTHER'S HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A MAJOR JOB TO FIX (INCLUDING HOURS OF LABOR AND EXTENSIVE BODY WORK). I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS ALSO IN VIOLATION OF REGULATION FMVSS 108, AND THUS SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER THAT I TOOK IT TO SAID THIS WAS A "NORMAL" CONDITION AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO (WHICH CONFLICTS WHAT OTHER'S HAVE SAID). *TR
