Complaint Summary

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Owner Narrative

RAINWATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE, COLLECTING IN THE PASSENGER FOOTWELL, SHORTING OUT SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. I UNDERSTAND VW/AUDI VEHICLES HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS OCCURRING DUE TO FIREWALL/POLLEN FILTER/SUNROOF DEFICIENCIES WHICH ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN AND THEY AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE VERY UNCOOPERATIVE IN EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING SUCH A PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE DESIGN OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS INHERENT DESIGN FLAW. AUDI IS VERY UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS TO DENY SUCH A PROBLEM EXISTS AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. AT NO TIME DURING ANY REGULAR SERVICE WAS IT EVER SUGGESTED THAT THESE DRAIN PLUGS SHOULD BE CLEANED - WHILE THE CLEANING OF THE SUNROOF RAILS WERE??? NO OWNER COULD POSSIBLY BE AWARE THAT SUCH A DISASTER AWAITS THEM IF THESE INACCESSIBLE DRAIN PLUGS AREN'T CLEANED. *JS
