I had a VW Diesel where they lied about the emissions.
I otherwise liked the car so I traded for a newer model gas version. 5 years later the sunroof started leaking. I never, ever, use the sunroof, so it could not be misuse/abuse VW denied any responsibility, and I was told a repair might cost 3,000.
A year later, they admitted no fault and settled on a class action lawsuit for the exact problem.
They now offer repairs under warranty if you get the repair done at a dealership.
The catch: the sunroofs are not obtainable anymore. There's months or a year backlog because they can't make enough spare parts to cover the broken vehicles.
They knew this was a problem, the newer model vehicles have a significantly redesigned sunroof
