problem #2

Passat

  • miles
Sun roof leaks - drains cleaned by dealer twice - still leaking. Driver's seat back moves forward when brake applied. Dealer claims this is normal. Seat back can be moved by hand. Car has vibration and steering wheel shakes at most speeds. Dealer claims tires are the problem. However, tires have been inspected twice (at my expense) by independent dealers who state tires are O.K. wheels rebalanced, front end aligned, (all at my expense) and proplem persists. VW refuses to help claiming problem is related to tires.
