Volkswagon Complaint

Your Car A Breading Ground For Mold - Jetta Window Drains

Our jetta car has one more problem now. It smells soooo bad of mildew/mold. When looking up on the net to get rid of smell I have come across many other vw owners with the same problem. They say the sunroof drains are plugging up. The water is going into the fuse box area and down to carpet. yet no one was told about the drains needing to be cleaned out. I called the burlington dealer asking about drains, they said needs to be cleaned with maintenance. Well we had to call the everett vw that did the maintenance and they said they don't do that It doesn't say it in the book to do it.

I am fed up with the smell and ready to get rid of the car. When you get out of it you need to wash all your clothing to rid yourself of the smell. Forget about going into a meeting or giving your wife a hug.

I hear some people are looking at a class action suit maybe. I have to drive it now to the vw place to look at it and I will have to drive with the windows open. ugh it's cold out there!

I have a GTI that has the same problem. I spent $3000 toward repair costs
that involved replacing 2 air bags that got damaged by the water, the
sunroof frame had to be replaced too...and now less than 6 months later I
have the same problem. I really do not know what to do. My car smells
disgusting and I probably smell the same way after I drive it. Not to
mention riding in the car with the airbag damaged.
I am glad to find this report today and maybe get more people to report on
the problem.
