problem #1

Mar 042003

Passat GLS 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

VW attempted to fix probablem where trunk unlocked while driving and attributed to electrical problem.

This still occurs after 15 years of ownership, but not very often. But definitely annoying when driving on the interstate because the trunk IS unlocked even though the lid is down.
