Electrical System
10/01/2025
High voltage component, onboard charger, failure caused an electrical fire contained inside the case. It is available for inspection. Unclear on safety concerns. Taken to dealer and a second repair shop and they were unable to identify the issue. I opened the onboard charger and found the evidence of the fire. Has not been inspected by anyone. No warning lights were present before or after the incident.

Power Train, service Brakes, engine

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.

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.

Car would not start and gave a "Error: Electrical system. Stop!" Warning in the dash. Volkswagen tells me it needs a battery replacement.
