“I was driving down the road and the car halted all of a sudden. An error appeared on the dashboard that said electric failure. Stop. Luckily no cars were behind me or it would have been an accident. The car would not start back up for 30-40 minutes.”

Volkswagen america answer (3rd week) - we will never give you a new car, that's why it has a warranty. - we will not give your money back. - we don't have to provide you a loaner nor pay for your transportation while your car is being repaired. - you will not get compensated for anything. - you owe us this month lease payment, btw! Volkswagen america answer (4th week): we are not allowed to talk you. Get an attorney to reach out to us. Still considering to buy an E-Golf?? …”
