What Owners Say
"rain water streaming into trunk when trunk lid is raised as a result of a bolt that was not installed at the factory"
William B., WA (2015 Volkswagen GTI SE 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The vehicle occasionally makes a strange squeaking sound whose origin -despite trips to three different mechanics - has yet to be identified. It seems to be coming from the left side and perhaps from the suspension. Nevertheless, performance doesn't seem to be affected by it. It's a bit of a mystery."
James H., AZ (2015 Volkswagen GTI SE 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Multiple squeeks and rattles from snroof area (body flexing) and some in door sounds."
Mitch G., MO (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Two problems. Problem 1 was a fuel line rattle that occurred during cold weather and at low rpm. I fixed the problem following a procedure I found on a vw forum. Problem 2, an in resolved rattle in dashboard."
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"This car always had weird squeaks and rattled and the dealership never managed to fix them. Unfortunately, something I had learned to live with."

Dennis L., VA (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Rear view mirror housing rattle fixed on warranty, no problem"
Anonymous, NY (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"- there's a vibration buzz from the latch on the bin between the front seats - a rattle from the sunroof when it's closed, goes away when it's opened - an undetermined mild thumping going over bumps, sounds like it might be the folding rear seats,"
Rob B., AB (2015 Volkswagen GTI 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Driver seat creaks badly"
Charles F., OH (2015 Volkswagen GTI S 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Minor creaking in driver's side door panel. Slight occasional creaking from center of dashboard under vent seams"

Eric W., OK (2015 Volkswagen GTI 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"noise emanated from the sun roof and Volkswagen had a fix kit which they applied free of charge. Problem eliminated"
Anonymous, ON (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"sun roof has annoying squeaks every time you hit a bump. Really annoying!"
Anonymous, IL (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The dealer left the 'shipping pucks' in during their PDI of the car. These are used to shorten the suspension travel during shipment when new. They caused an abnormally rough ride and strange clicking noises until the dealer caught their mistake. This is a common problem, according to GTI forums"
Anonymous, CA (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The Sunroof as a strange squeakiness when it is cold. If I open it slightly, it is fine, like the rubber is rubbing the roof when it is closed. Chassis has a creak to it but probably just needs another lube"
Anonymous, PA (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Sunroof squeaks over bumps rather consistently, especially in cold weather. But no leaks or functional issues."
Anonymous, CT (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"squeaking door seals when driving at slow speed over uneven surface. Rattle from center console under certain engine rpm and load conditions when accelerating"

Anonymous, MA (2015 Volkswagen GTI Autobahn 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Wind noise from the drivers side. It has been difficult to diagnose and personnel at dealership do not appear to take it seriously. I have not repaired it, but it is very annoying especially during highways drives"
