| Description of the problem | At about 17500 mile on odometer, i had just unplugged this electric car from a public level 2 charging station and saw a warning "error: electrical system. Stop!". I assumed it was just a light when first turning the car on so shifted into reverse. ( i was parked in a standard parking lot, racking the charger. The car started rolling out of the spot, but had no power. I was able to apply the brakes and not roll into traffic. The car was towed to vw and i am told that two seperate small batteries had a problem and neede to be replaced. This has occurred and the car should be returned in a few days. I'm worried about another failure happening when i am driving with kids in car, as has been reported on your site. |
