Description of the problem	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. Then when i stopped at a red light, the car would not shift out of 1st gear. I ended up having to have my vehicle towed back home. 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. I then had it towed to the nearest vw dealer who told me that the whole problem, including the failure of the safety systems, was caused by a leak in the sunroof. Water ran down the a-piller and shorted some wiring. They gave me a print out where vw admits that this is the result of a production defect but they said that if the defect was not found before the warranty ran out that vw would not allow it to be fixed unless i paid them over $1,0000. As it is, i had to pay them $240 to take the trim off of the a-piller and dry the wiring out. This made the car run normally for the time being but now i am afraid that it will happen again.
