2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen Electrical system Problems

“Vw installed a radio spec for another model car in my vehicle the replacement part is a new part number this problem created a rolling screen on my display very distracting while driving I asked vw costumer care to replace the wrong part installed at there factory vw refused to cover the cost ,this is a safety issue when your main display in the car is flashing and the screen is rolling and will lead to accidents I believe vw should have fixed this as a urgent safety matter thats it is distracting their drivers”

“This car was purchased as a certified vehicle after receiving the emissions fix. After less than 10,000 miles and only one year of ownership, all my dashboard warning lights came on (including airbag error) and the floor mats were soaked when I started my car after a severe rain storm. I was told the sunroof drains were plugged and caused the electrical issues. The drain being plugged with debris is considered an external factor and therefore the repairs are not covered by the warranty of this certified car. …”

“Problem noticed december 12th when one by one all the warning lights came on including the air bag, the stabilization system, the headlight system and others.

The next day a mechanic scanned it and said there was a problem in the emitions system which disabled the car by making it not able to drive.
