Personally i think it is unacceptable that Volkswagen can let the ENTIRE run of New Beetles and many of their other models as well, have this defect go, even through model changes like the New Beetle. This has been a KNOWN defect to these guys for years.
I must have brought in my old 99 Beetle for this same problem 4 times (only one was covered from an old recall and one time it failed within the warranty period of the paid fix).
And now i discover that it is still a problem with my 06 Beetle??
