“Wipers fail to work during cold temps...start working again once it warms up. Have left me stranded and caused me to drive off the road. Seems to be a huge problem for other jetta owners.”
NHTSA complaint #11065451, filed 2018-01, 63,000 miles“I have noticed that there is a mystery leak coming from somewhere in the vehicle that the service department has been unable to locate. The research that I have been able to find has said that it could be a possible leak in the sunroof drain, front windshield drain, or AC condenser drain that is somehow managing to leak into the cabin of the vehicle. This can cause severe water damage and mold issues that could in turn cause a health hazard for those allergic or have issues with mold.”
