NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Volkswagen of America is recalling about 71,000 of the German automaker's new 2011 Jetta sedans for a wiring problem that could cause the car to turn off when the horn is used.
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 the engine controller. Cutting off power to the engine controller shuts off the car's engine.

I can picture it now... The guy with road rage laying on his horn in the middle of a busy intersection and his car turns off. What a sight that would be! But in all seriousness this seems like a major issue and I am surprised that I have not heard of it until now. I hope that everyone affected is notified of this asap. Thanks for putting the info out there for us.
