Consumer Description
CAR'S FUSE # 6 KEEPS BLOWING WHICH CONTROLS THE BACK LIGHTS THAT TURNS ON AT NIGHT, WHEN FUSE BLOWS LIGHTS ON BACK GO OUT AND CARS BEHIND YOU CAN'T SEE YOU AND MAY CAUSE A COLLISION WHERE SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH MAY RESULT. I THINK THIS AN ENGINEERING FLAW WHERE THEY CONNECTED THE BACK LIGHTS TO OTHER MODULES IN THE CAR, SO THE SHORT REMAINS AND CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT FUSE KEEPS BLOWING EVERY TIME YOU PUT A NEW ONE IN VW IS NOT WILLING TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND GIVE ME A SOLUTION, THE SHORT IS NOT IN ANY OF THE LIGHTS ON THE BACK OF THE CAR, OR INSIDE THE CAR, VW IS REFUSING TO GIVE ME THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM FOR THAT CIRCUIT SO WE CAN TRACE THE PROBLEM, THEY INSIST ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER WHERE IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX TO TRACK DOWN THE SHORT WHERE IT IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW. ALSO THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AND SEAT BELTS WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND START CHIMING WHILE YOU HAVE SEAT BELTS ON AND PROPERLY FASTENED, DO NOT KNOW IF SEAT BELT OR AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION, AND VW REFUSES TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM WITHOUT A HEFTY DEALER CHARGE. PLEASE HELP
