While driving in light, medium or heavy rain, water makes it into the front and back of the cab of the vehicle. When it comes in through the front water drips on my wife while driving which is distracting. When it comes in through the back the humidity builds and fogs the windows which makes it unsafe to drive. My local VW service center tells me the drain tubes are clogged. I have taken my vehicle in five times for clogged drain tubes. Our service advisor Robert Dominguez confirmed the problem. Our service technician Paul Macfarland inspected the vehicle and components. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure.

Purchased a used 2017 vw alltrack april 2 years ago. Presently has ~30k miles. Christmas day this year, 4 warning lights appeared lit-up in the console-air-bag, tire pressure, ABS and traction control. Took it to the dealership where it was purchased, and advised that water-intrusion occurred due to blocked sun-roof drains [which are not immediately accessible. Advised that it was not considered standard maintenance and an expensive repair. Also repaired were corroded wiring connectors and corroded wires! Dealer advised that once corrected 'it shouldn't be a problem again' which we don't trust or believe. Research indicates that this is a well-known and well-documented problem. We are very frustrated and concerned this problem will be continuously occurring. Rust never sleeps

Dealer can't seem to find root cause or not capable of finding multiple problems, or maybe do not want to find root cause. Water leaks into car after rain/snow limits visibility on windshield, electrical problems arise from speakers, door locks and power windows not functioning properly. Location of sunroof leak is also next to side airbags and electrical connections probably causing premature deterioration.
