Less than one year into ownership, the car has experienced a panoramic sunroof leak on both the drivers side and passenger side front area near the a-pillar and the sunvisor. there have been multiple reported incidents all over various sources on the internet. the sunroof, visor and dome light area is exactly the same design as the 2018 tiguan that has now been recalled due to sunroof leaks causing short circuits on the dome light thus causing a fire. the fear we have is that this is a low volume car so it's not getting the same exposure vs. the tiguan which is a high volume car and many more are on the road. in addition, this follows-up on several complaints made of the same issue on the 2017 alltrack model.
