2012 Volkswagen Golf Owner Comments

problem #1

Golf Highline 2.5L

New Car

Water vapor buildup in the rear passenger side light housing. The one attached to the hatch door.

Has lasted for 4 months and is getting worse.

The driver side is dry which suggests that there may be a hole in the seal on the passenger side.

Update from Apr 14, 2013: Dealer performed TSB 2011521, but the problem did not go away.

VW Canada's response: "I understand that you state that the condensation has appeared again; we recommend visiting the dealership and having the TSB completed again. Unfortunately, because there is no damage to the seals or cracks to the lenses, Volkswagen cannot replace the full assembly under warranty. As the dealership has advised, this is a normal characteristic of the vehicle."

Interesting how just one of the light housing on the car collects moisture every time it rains or car goes through a car wash. I guess the car was designed to do that?? Really?? wow...

Update from Apr 14, 2013: Check out the pictures, I have both left and right side for comparison.
