| 47000 mi US $1200 |
Accuators for right vents not working |
| 5000 mi | Adaptive cruise alignment |
| 2700 mi | Car would not start. Battery fine. Towing company damaged battery, ground cable and front tire while towing car. |
| 10000 mi | Radio/navy system display would flicker for about 10 minutes after first start of the day. Also, would not switch from night to day display. VW was contacted, a software update was performed. Dealer could not recreate problem after repair. The flickering seems to be corrected, but the display still will not switch from night to day at times. I think the radio/nav head is at fault. Still working with dealer and VW for resolution. This issue is tough due to the intermittent nature. |
| 36000 mi | Nav system screen flicker reported in spring 2017 now fixed by replacing radio unit |
| 5000 mi | replaced control module part had to come from Germany |
| 9000 mi | seat control module |
