    When it rains the drains in the volkswagen jetta get clogged up. Once the drains get clogged the water comes inside the interior of the car into the entire floor of the car. The floor is then flooded with water. Their has been a previous lawsuit that was settled for the previous vw models 97-05 in 2014. When the car was sold to me no one notified me of this problem and how to prevent this problem. Now my local vw…

    The sunroof drainage system is faulty and leaks inside the car. Dealership charged me $350 to fix (not to mention that now the car smells musty) and suggested that other vw owners with my model of car have had similar problems. I am concerned that vw did not design the system properly and should fund any modifications necessary for existing car owners. *tr

    Standing water in the wheel wells traced to sunroof drainage hoses not attached to drains because the clips meant to hold the hose in place malfunctioned and allowed the hose to "back out" of place. This problem was not immediately apparent as car is usually kept garaged. Body shop, internet discussions and dealership have all reported they believe this is due to a vw design flaw. This is not a result of consumer…

    I was driving on a freeway when large pieces of tire starting flying in the road from a semi-truck. Several vehicles were attempting to avoid being struck, when a large piece flew up and hit under my car. The outcome was a hole in my gas tank which then proceeded to leak fuel onto the highway. I had to pull over due to the damage. I understand this is considered "active damage" and should not have occurred due to…

    A couple of weeks after buying this new vehicle i noticed that hundreds of foggy looking spots would appear in the rear windshield at certain times of the day. When these spots appear it is almost impossible to see out of this windshield or into it . This usually happens around dawn and around dusk though it has happened at other times of the day also. I have pursued having this problem resolved by contacting the…
