Then twice while I was driveing on highway car cuts off completely then I have to pull over with it just rolling. The steering sometimes comes on and says defective then the sun roof open closes by itself. Alot of electrical problems always have to get something fix just pray that I dont get into an accident. The heated seats dont work nomore for some reason on day they was good now no and its not the fuse.

I have an air bag light on and I get a warning sign that it should be serviced. Wipers are not that effective and I keep on having fogy windows so I have to keep on adjusting the heat.

There is a manufacturer's defect in material for the leather seats and headrest. Volkswagen is not willing to honor the warranty for the limited new vehicle. I wanted to a independent auto interior specialist, who said it needs to be replaced. Yet, Volkswagen said it's normal and said the other vehicles are the same. However, when asked to see the other vehicles there was none available.
