Description of the problem | 2012 jetta tdi. Horn intermittent and about the same time my moon roof stopped working. As a military member stationed near seoul, south korea, i was in heavy traffic and someone pulled out in front of me even though i was a low speed i still had to smash on the brakes causing the anti-skid system to work. As soon as they pulled out in front of me i was pressing the horn and nothing happened. I believe this is a major safety defect with many people having issues with faulty horns/wiring, especially for a car with less than 50k miles on it. (conveniently out of warranty). I am aware of the recall on the horn for the 2011 models, obviously they didn't resolve the problem when building the 2012 model. In seoul i feel the need to use my horn daily as there are over 150 accidents a day just in the seoul area. This is a major safety issue and should be covered by vw. |
