| Description of the problem | Leaking sunroof - volkswagen will not warranty. Purchased my vehicle 2 year ago as a brand new vehicle. This vw golf sportwagen was part of the diesel emission recall and i purchased it after they released the vehicles as a brand new vehicle. Less than 200 miles on the vehicle. Had a headliner stain from water leakage. Vehicle sat in a lot for 2 years unmoved near trees which likely caused the leak. Dealership replaced headliner. 1 year later i noticed a large stain in the back near rear hatch. Researched issue and may with same mk7 body having same issues. Took back to a dealer and they said leak was due to "outside influence". Vw of america told me they will not warranty headliner due to outside circumstances. I do not park under trees and the "outside influence" is faulty drain lines and damages occurred at the dealership. Vw will not warranty leak. Vehicle has been in a dealer 4 times since may 2017 for the same issue with no resolve other than " we can not duplicate the issue" while there is obviously a leak! I feel completely stabbed in the back by vw and can not believe this has not been a recall with so many people having the same issue, and vw buying back alltracks for the same problem (same mk7 body) very disappointed in spending so much money on a broken vehicle.. Love the car, do not love water inside my car. |
