Most Recent Complaints
I am the owner of a 2019 Volkswagen e-Golf with only 52,000 miles. Recently, an abnormal noise appeared coming from the gearbox during energy regenerative braking. I looked up online and found it's a common problem in Volkswagen e-Golf model. https://www.myvwegolf.com/threads/egolf-scraping-sound-when-driving-in-neutral-coasting-or-regen-braking.16708/ The issue was diagnosed as an internal failure in the motor/gearbox assembly, requiring a complete replacement of the unit. I can't imagine if the part die during driving on highway.

we bought this car certified pre-owned from a dealership last spring. The drivers seatbelt seems to latch but when you pull on it you discover it is not. So it gives the illusion of being latched when it is now, which obviously is very dangerous
The charging pin actuator fails, preventing the vehicle from charging. This was confirmed by the dealer. I had brought the vehicle in multiple times before for the same symptoms.
