| Description of the problem | The sunroof of the car leaks when it rains or snows. Any precipitation will get into the vehicle. The drains are cleared and volkswagen has said the sunroof drain tubs deteriorate and water does not make it outside the vehicle. Instead, all the water leaks into the foot well of the vehicle and has caused mold and other electrical issues. The dealership quoted us $3,650 to fix the issue of putting in new tubes and replacing the carpets. However, not the entire car has mold and needs the seats replaced as well. |
