There was water leaking and I brought my vehicle to a VW dealership to repair. They investigated the vehicle and found out that water leaks from the sunroof frame. They stated that the leak is in a location that cannot be found and cannot be repaired. Thus I had to replace the frame. The sunroof frame is fault even I had no physical damage or accident on my vehicle. This issue needs to be seriously investigated since water leaking from the sunroof may cause many other electrical issues with the vehicle.

The rear door (tailgate) does not latch nor lock. When it is closed, the catch does not engage and there is no noise from the locking motor. So the door remains open when driving or parking. This is the serious safety issue. I also found a lot of complaints and fault reports from other Volkswagen owners over the internet.
