Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Hi, i have a vw passat 2001.5 sedan. i recently have notcied that water enters into the rear passenger floor when it rains. i hear that the problem is noticed by a number of fellow passat owners on various forums. i have learnt that water can damage previous electronics and can be very expensive to fix. i feel that there is a design problem here with the vw passat that allows water into the car when it should be kept out. i strongly hope vw would recall the vehicle to fix this problem. -- aravind. *nm
