| Description of the problem | Purchased a used 2017 vw alltrack april 2 years ago. Presently has ~30k miles. Christmas day this year, 4 warning lights appeared lit-up in the console-air-bag, tire pressure, abs and traction control. Took it to the dealership where it was purchased, and advised that water-intrusion occurred due to blocked sun-roof drains [which are not immediately accessible. Advised that it was not considered standard maintenance and an expensive repair. Also repaired were corroded wiring connectors and corroded wires! Dealer advised that once corrected 'it shouldn't be a problem again' which we don't trust or believe. Research indicates that this is a well-known and well-documented problem. We are very frustrated and concerned this problem will be continuously occurring. Rust never sleeps |
