Typical poor design and half-assed customer care. The ends of the sunroof drain holes are too tight and rainwater builds up and then leaks onto the headliner and stains it. The water then drips down and pools on the carpet and floods the Transmission Control Module that is stored under the carpet!
German engineering? It is almost like they planned a Fukushima-like series of mini disasters to wipe out as many things as they could in one simple weather event. My car is within the effected years, but my VIN is not part of the recall. VW uses any and all excuses. They laugh at their customers.
