In owners' own words
Passenger window (front) and locks not working. Suddenly stopped working on my low mileage car. The wire harness had to be replaced. Similar recall for the VW Atlas that would also effect the airbag because of corroded wire contacts. Brought to VW dealer and they determined (after 2 weeks) the wire harness had to be replaced. Not functioning doors and locks and possible airbags are a huge safety issue. Electrical system
The vehicle was stationary. Following rain, water leaked into the car from the panoramic roof at the a-, b-, and c-pillars and rear hatch on both the driver and passenger sides of the car. Water dripped from the dash onto the front foot wells. Water entering the pillars could come into contact with pillar-mounted airbags and with electrical controls and systems mounted in the dash.
