Volkswagen is recalling 71,000 2011 Jettas. An electrical problem has been found which could cause problems. Here's the scoop from CNN:
Under certain rare circumstances using the horn could cause a short circuit that would, in turn, cause an electronic part called a converter box to disconnect from the car's power supply, a VW spokeswoman said.
The converter box supplies power to various components, including the headlights, wipers and engine controller. Cutting off power to the engine controller shuts off the car's engine.
Now, if only they could rig up a connection to kill the engine when you turn and don't use your turn signal!
