51000 mi US $100 |
Water leaking causing the headliner to stain. Entire panoramic roof assembly and the headliner was replaced. This repair was a dealer debacle that took two months. I involved VW of America because the dealer experience was less than satisfactory. I was given a loaner for the duration of the repair. |
12800 mi | Rear fender on the driver's side was starting to come unfastened. The screw/bolt was defective. Probably due to faulty installation at the factory or a defective piece that held the bolt. The dealer replaced the fender. |
