problem #1

Jan 152012

Passat SEL Premium 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 800 miles

When the trunk is opened using the hand grip, and the car is completely locked, when shut you hear the electric lock opening again. Very sporadic and sometimes occurs after you get in and drive off causing the trunk lid to lift. The car was kept three days by the dealer but the problem wouldn't happen for them to check.

Update from Jun 11, 2013: The dealer was stumped and tried one last thing - reprogramming the radio. It worked and cleared all the problems.
