 The wiring and heat shield of the car is covered in a plant based product that is very tasty to small animals. We've had the car in twice because of this. VW does not consider this a warranty issue as they don't think it's a defect in workmanship or product. This is a known issue and the dealer's solution was to tell me I should consider coating the parts in a toxic material but that there was nothing they could do. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!
