| 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. | |||

| 98 vw passat have had nothing but one problem after the other with this vehicle. just had to replace my oil pump now my timing belt went and destroyed my engine. after i see that this has happened to several others i believe vw should take care of this expense. i have had to go through the expense of the front control arms, speed sensor etc. my car has been in the garage more than i have drove it. problems with transmission | |||
