2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Electrical system Problems

“I was backing out of my driveway and I felt some sort of stringy-like metallic resistance as I turned my steering wheel (similar to a rubberband held taut and being plucked). Approximately 5 minutes later, an airbag and a transmission warning appeared and my horn and all buttons on my steering wheel stopped working. I was at 50,0170+ miles when this occurred. My vehicle is not under recall, even though 400,000 + other vws had the same recall...”

“My panoramic sunroof has had an issue with water intrusion. December of 2017 I took the car into vw of pohanka, marylan. They replaced the headliner, drainage tubes, and smoothed out the welds to try and fix the problem. I noticed that the leak is back with water stains on the a-pillar and overhead. The problem is we do not know where the water had leaked into. We are afraid that the water intrusion may cause more problems down the road and do not want any electrical issues due to the water leak. …”

“On or about 6.13.2019, my 2017 vw Golf Alltrack se leaked water through the light in the roof, behind the visor (driver's side) while stationary. Each time the headliner was stained, water sat in the light and it leaked all over my lap. As of 6.11.2020, it is still leaking. This appears to be a known issue and a class action suit is pending. Vw claims this is a repair defect, not a manufacture defect and only offers to cover 75% of a $12k repair on a vehicle that has 34k miles, been mostly garage kept or covered and all maintenance completed only at vw dealerships. …”

“This car has a well known panoramic sunroof leak that causes excess water to enter interior of vehicle and soak both front and rear electronics. My vehicle has this problem caused by recent heavy rains. Car is used to transport children and am worried about mold about front air bags being water damaged.”

“The vehicle was stationary. Following rain, water leaked into the car from the panoramic roof at the a-, b-, and c-pillars and rear hatch on both the driver and passenger sides of the car. Water dripped from the dash onto the front foot wells. Water entering the pillars could come into contact with pillar-mounted airbags and with electrical controls and systems mounted in the dash.”
