| Description of the problem | Vehicle was making a small annoying rattling sound, emanating from the driver side b-pillar, next to driver's head. Rattle had been intermittent initially but by 8,000 miles on the vehicle the rattle was almost constant at any speed whilst being driven over any surface smooth or otherwise. We took the vehicle to our local volkswagen dealership and it has now been there for 32 days. A repair was done, but the result was satisfactory, so they are trying to repair it again. |
