Driver's seat bolt failed, causing the driver to fall backwards. The bolt snapped while the consumer was driving causing the seat to slid back and forth with acceleration. Any sudden impact would've sent her into the steering wheel or the children's backseat. The bolt is metal. Vw repaired it at no cost and provided no paperwork.

Sun roof leaks - drains cleaned by dealer twice - still leaking. Driver's seat back moves forward when brake applied. Dealer claims this is normal. Seat back can be moved by hand. Car has vibration and steering wheel shakes at most speeds. Dealer claims tires are the problem. However, tires have been inspected twice (at my expense) by independent dealers who state tires are o. K. Wheels rebalanced, front end aligned, (all at my expense) and proplem persists. Vw refuses to help claiming problem is related to tires.
