Consumer Description

2000 VW PASSAT HAS A WATER LEAK ON DRIVERS SIDE FLOORS AND UNDER PASSENGERS SIDE FLOOR. THIS HAS CAUSED WIRE DAMAGE DISABLING ELECTRIC WINDOWS, LOCKS, GAS COVER RELEASE AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. I MAY HAVE EVEN DAMAGED TO AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH THROUGH VW. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THE PROBLEM IT CAUSES ARE VERY SERIOUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH ASAP. IT IS COSTING CONSUMERS A LOT OF MONEY AND HURTING THE REPUTATION OF VW. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT UNLESS SOMETHING IS DONE, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER VW AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE FROM BUYING ONE EITHER. I WILL GO OUT OF MY WAY TO SAY THIS. *TR
