MY VEHICLE IS PARKED PLUGGED INTO A 240 V CHARGING STATION IN MY GARAGE/DRIVEWAY. I CANNOT DISCONNECT THE CHARGER BECAUSE THE RED LIGHT ON MY CAR IS ON SOLID RED AND THE LOCK WILL NOT DISENGAGE. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON RED SOLID TO SEEK EXPERT ADVICE. HOWEVER, NO ONE AT THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. NOW MY VEHICLE STUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND CAN'T EVEN BE TOWED BECAUSE IT IS ATTACHED TO MY HOUSE.

TODAY, WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROAD, CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND MESSAGE APPEARED "BATTERY MALFUNCTION" AND CAR JUST DIED WHILE RUNNING 40 MPH. AFTER I TURNED IT OFF AND ON AFTER FEW MINS EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HUNDREDS FEET AND THEN IT REPEATED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHILE I WAS ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT.

THE 2015 AND 2016 EGOLF'S HAVE A CHARGING FAULT WHICH PREVENTS THE CHARGE PLUG FROM BEING REMOVED FROM THE CAR. THIS PERMANENTLY ATTACHES THE CAR TO THE CHARGER IT IS CONNECTED TO, BE IT AT HOME, IN A MALL, AT THE GROCERY, ETC. THE ISSUE IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL HERE: HTTP://WWW.MYVWEGOLF.COM/FORUM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?F=12&T=839

CHARGER THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WAS STUCK AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM CHARGING PORT. NORMAL PROCEDURE IS TO UNLOCK THE CAR, WHICH UNLOCKS THE CHARGER PIN AND ALLOWS IT TO BE REMOVED. I REPEATED THE PROCESS MULTIPLE TIMES, UNPLUGGED THE CHARGER FROM THE WALL OUTLET, TURNED CAR OFF AND ON, ETC. EVENTUALLY I LEFT THE CAR ALONE FOR 20 MINUTES, WENT BACK AND CLICKED THE LOCK/UNLOCK FOB MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THE CHARGER RELEASED FROM THE CAR. LOOKING ONLINE, I SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THE LOCKING SYSTEM IS FAULTY. VW NEEDS TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE OR REMOVE THE LOCKING FEATURE ALTOGETHER.
