NHTSA complaint #10126377, filed 2005-06, 52,000 miles“Windows roll down by themselves. I have heard from many sources, that this is a very common problem with volkswagen passat's, and Audi's. The fix is replacing the regulator, at a very high cost. This problem should be permanently fixed, as it is a hazard to be driving down the highway in a storm at 65 miles an hour, and have all the windows start opening. This will go on, every minute or so. Should be fixed, prior to people getting into accidents.”
