HOSES FOR THE SUNROOF DRAINS NOT SEALED PROPERLY. WATER LEAKS INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. FILLS SPARE TIRE WELL, RUSTING THE JACK AND TOOLS MAKING IT HARD TO USE IF NEEDED. WATER ALSO RUNS DOWN A PILLAR (WHERE THERE IS AN AIRBAG) AND THEN OVER (SOAKING) THE FUSE BOX ON THE SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. THEN IT RUNS DOWN THE PLASTIC TRIMS AND LEAKS ONTO THE FEET OF THE DRIVER SOAKING THE FLOOR MAT. THE WET FUSE BOX AND AIRBAG SEEMS DANGEROUS. DATE FIRST NOTED AND MILEAGE ARE GUESSES. I KNOW OF MANY OTHER JETTA SPORTWAGENS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
WHEN IT RAINS THE DRAINS IN THE VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GET CLOGGED UP. ONCE THE DRAINS GET CLOGGED THE WATER COMES INSIDE THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR INTO THE ENTIRE FLOOR OF THE CAR. THE FLOOR IS THEN FLOODED WITH WATER. THEIR HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS LAWSUIT THAT WAS SETTLED FOR THE PREVIOUS VW MODELS 97-05 IN 2014. WHEN THE CAR WAS SOLD TO ME NO ONE NOTIFIED ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND HOW TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 1000 FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST PLACE. *TR
