2001 Volkswagen Passat Owner Comments

The trunk latch broke when closing the trunk normally and would not latch. There was no visible damage and the dealer said the inside components were shattered. I had to pay for the deductible because my extended warranty covered the item. I have heard of this happening to other Passat owners. Is this a manufacturing defect?
