Consumer Description

I HAVE 2002 JETTA HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE DOOR / LATCH SWITCH HAS A MALFUNCTION AND WON'T COME ON WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THE LIGHT ON THE DOOR DOES NOT COME ON. WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND CAN'T SEE THE DOOR IS OPEN AT NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND PAYS THE DEALERSHIP A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE IT FIXED. OBVIOUSLY IT IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL JETTA THAT YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH BE REPLACE. COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. *TR
