Problems with 2010 Volkswagen Tiguan STRUCTURE

The sunroof of the car leaks when it rains or snows. any precipitation will get into the vehicle. the drains are cleared and volkswagen has said the sunroof drain tubs deteriorate and water does not make it outside the vehicle. instead, all the water leaks into the foot well of the vehicle and has caused mold and other electrical issues. the dealership quoted us $3,650 to fix the issue of putting in new tubes and replacing the carpets. however, not the entire car has mold and needs the seats replaced as well.

My 2010 tiguan has experienced a couple of significant issues due to design - one a burned fuse box and two a major water leak inside the right front passenger floorboard. both issues stem from design and not wear and tear. both repairs were costly - $561 and $753. i have received a safety recall 97z9 from vw for a fuse issue and will be waiting on a response. i've also submitted an inquiry to vw asking about plans to review the drain hose issue. had i not investigated the strong damp smell in the interior of the vehicle i would not have found the saturated floorboard and i do mean soaking wet. both drain hoses were found to have small leaks and the route of the hoses dumps right into the cabin - again this is not a wear and tear issue - it's a design/product issue. as a precaution the dealer recommended that i have all of the hoses replaced to prevent future water damage. i've seen numerous complaints from other vw owners about the drain hoses being defective so this appears to be a larger issue than just a few vehicles. thank you. *tr
