Description of the problem | The sunroof opens and closes by it self, opens and doesn't close by it self while driving my 1998 volkswagon passat. It first opened/closed by it self in january, 2005. It scared me and was/is unbelieveable. It didn't happen again until a month later, the sunroof would slide back 3/4 of the way and then close by itself. I took the car into royal volkswagon in fl on 02/28/05 and in addition to regular service i asked to check the sunroof. I was told they were "unable to duplicate customer concerns. No repairs recommended at this time." |
