Jetta SportWagen

  • 180,000 miles
I was driving on the highway and I smelled burning plastic. I reached behind my back and burned my finger. I pulled off and looked and saw a hold and melted seat. The back of my coat was melted as well. I have taken it to a VW dealer to be inspected and it was caused by a wire shorting out. There is a case now open for me with VW. Waiting to hear if they will pay to fix the seat.
