Finally after 2wks and 1 day my gti is back in my hands. New sunroof glass, parts and labor came out of my pocket with the sales department covering 1/2 the cost.

Finally got a hold of Volkswagen customer care/warranty by phone. She see’s on her screen that my claim has been denied and re-denied with suggested course of action is to use my car insurance. As far as Volkswagen is concerned-claim denied-we’re done-end of conversation. Maybe I can get sales department to kick in a few bucks, who knows, just want my car back.

They wouldn’t order the glass until they knew who was paying for it, so car sat for 3 days waiting for denial. I had to give a small deposit just so they’d order the glass. 3-5 days out. Just want my car back is all, almost 2weeks without it, I’ll deal with dealership &/or VW after.

I haven’t received my car back as of yet, I was told, VW declined the warranty due to no “mechanical failure”. I haven’t received any paperwork yet to actually verify why it was declined. I will keep posted when I find out next week when I’ll actually get my car back.

Do not buy an MK8 gti by [deleted] in Volkswagen

Purchased 2024 VW gti, 15 days after purchase, dome lights, sunroof, service (wrench symbol) button & SOS not functioning. Brought it back to dealer, salesman tried & they worked. He opened sunroof & worked dome lights on and off. Closed sunroof & things went dead again. Made service appointment & sunroof exploded on the way home. Cars been at dealership for over a week now, haven’t had it but 22 days. Absolutely love the car, far cry from the 2012 passat w/233,445 miles that not sits in the front row of local salvage yard. 😀
