What owners wrote
Need to find out if there are any recalls with the VW golf r 2015 model. Anything related to engine, fuel system, exhaust that would cause a fire
I leased the e-golf for about 4 months. I was driving down the street and suddenly car shut down. An error "error:electrical system. Stop!" appeared. Car stopped and blocked the lane. I called VW sos and they connected me to 911. Police officer came and helped me pulling the car to the roadside. The windows and multimedia worked. Tried to press the power button off and turned it on but same error showed. I waited for one hour to tow my car to the dealer.
