Consumer Description
LIKE THE RECALL ON 2011 JETTA HORN THE 2012 JETTA HORN HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT WAS HIT BY A DRIVER BACKING UP AND VOULD NOT WARN THE DRIVER DUE TO AHORN THAT DOES NOT WORK. TODAY I WAS ALMOST SANDWICHED BETWEEN A SEMI-TRUCK AND A CAR MOVING INTO MY LANE. LUCKILY FOR ME AND THEKID THE DRIVER IN THE CAR GOT BACK IN THEIR OWN LANE. IT APPEARS THE TRUNK LIGHT DOES NOT WORK EITHER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE HORN AND TRUNK LIGHT STOPPED WORKING, LAST TIME IT FIXED IT'S SELF THIS TIME IT SEEMS TO NEED HELP TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. HORN CLICKS NO SOUND, NO ALARM WARNING SOUNDS.
