Consumer Description

THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MELTED. THIS CAUSED MY FRONT-RIGHT HEADLIGHT, REAR-LEFT BRAKE AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHT, AND MIDDLE BRAKE LIGHT TO STOP WORKING. MY CAR IS ALL STOCK AND I'VE DONE NOTHING TO CAUSE IT TO EXERT EXCESS ELECTRICAL POWER. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH VW AND IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR
