Example complaints

“About a month or so after I got the car, it started making a loud squeaking noise when turning the steering wheel to the left (and now when you turn it back to the right to straighten out) noticeable at very slow speeds such as pulling in and out of a parking space. I took it to the reno vw and they said there was no noise. I took it back again months later and first they said there was no noise, and I asked that they check it again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11316403, filed 2020-03, 500 miles“This past spring I noticed the car's headliner was wet and stained. It then began to drip copious amounts of water into the vehicle during heavy rainstorms. The car is only a year and a half old and has 20,000 miles. But there are water stains everywhere and it will be a mold issue soon, I'm afraid. Took it to the dealer, the car is under warranty. They said it's a maintenance issue, not a warranty issue because the drains that release the water from sunroof are all blocked with debris. …”
NHTSA complaint #11230797, filed 2019-07, 20,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11175989, filed 2019-02, 8,000 miles“There's a water leak coming from the panoramic sunroof. The car is usually garage kept but I had it parked outside one weekend when we had bad storms and that's when I noticed the water stains in my headliner and the water dripping down into the back hatch area. The dealer had to send the car to a body shop to have them grind down welds that have caused an obstruction in the drainage system. There's stains in the headliner and an odor that's coming from it so it appears to have mold. …”
NHTSA complaint #11104887, filed 2018-06, 7,500 miles“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. …”
