I recently experienced a high voltage battery failure while driving. The local dealership sent it to a VW dealer in Massachusetts for repair. One month later, it came back. I drove it for 2 days and plugged it in to charge, only to discover it wouldn’t take a charge. I had it towed to the local dealer who told me it needed a new battery charger ($2300 + $1100 labor) and I’m still waiting for the repair. I was only 17 days out of the 5-year warranty and VW won’t cover this repair. The Massachusetts dealer returned the car to me knowing it didn’t have a functional charger.
Cons: battery failure, charger failure, expensive repair, poor warranty coverage
