Calm down. Could be a battery drain. The dealer should be able to track this down.

That is the issue, we have replaced the battery 3 times and took it to the dealership and they could find nothing. But alas, I have gotten rid of the car this past weekend, bought a 08 Chevy Impala. Just wasn't comfortable with the car at all. Loved the look and drive, but piece of mind is much better.

Well can't argue with that. Anticipating the next break-down is nerve-wracking and I hate it, too.
 
I give a car "three strikes". If it leaves me totally stranded three times, despite my best efforts to make it reliable after each failure (and I DO try), it's up for sale, I'm done with it.

I have a 2001 TT Quatro and the trunk or fuel door has stopped working- not with the key or the button inside the car- has anyone else had this problem? Please help! Michelle

Might check the fuse for that button for starters. Can you open the trunk with the remote--that is, use the key after you've hit the remote to open all the doors?

I have checked the fuse panel and do not see anything that would match my problem. The trunks and fuel door do not open with the remote- or the button inside the car, and I have no key entry for the trunk...

Well if the car were in front of me, I'd by-pass the trunk button and see if the switch is bad, or if the circuit is even getting current, and if NO and NO, then pull each fuse and look at it and/or test it for continuity. This can't be that big a deal.
 
Now you know why when you go into Best Buy you don't see German electronics

My windows went out this morning- I am so freaked out to be at the mercy of the dealership-

I am going to do what you told me to when I get home today- I will check all of the fuses. Thank you

It may well be a broken wire in your door. I own A 2000 Passat and my fuel door was dead. Turned out to be a broken wire in the door, not the switch or the actuator.
 
Also, a few days later I had a total power failure -- couldn't start the car in the AM though I did have lights and dashboard. That turned out to be a corroded wire in the floor board harness -- they have allegedly fixed that in newer Passats as they are now shrink wrapping the wires in the harness to make them more waterproof.
 
Hope this helps.
