2016 VW eGolf SEL Premium electrical issues

[cristin187]

Hello:
I recently bought a new 2016 VW eGolf SEL Premium almost 1 month ago. I have noticed in the last month that the illumination on the speedometer dials will sometimes go out and come back on. And today, while I was sitting in stop and go traffic, the display in between the two dials blacked out completely for a second or two, then turned back on. I also drive with the air system turned off at all times to save on the charge. But while driving, I can frequently feel light air drafts coming thru the vents, although I do not hear any fan running.
I have an appointment on Monday for the recent recall, but wanted to check with anyone else to see if they have also been having any of these other electrical type issues?

Take your headlights off of "Auto" and see if it still happens, or if you want to leave them in "Auto", check the headlight indicator around the selector knob, and if the sidemarker indicator turns green when the dash dims, that just means your headlights turned on.

You will get your air vents coming "on" whenever a larger car or bigger vehicle passes by your side at speed on Blvds or freeways. This is because the pick up vents are located inside the wheel wells, where the frontal air wave of the vehicle passing you creates an air wedge or high pressure system, forcing the pressurized air into your cabin. It's nothing to worry about.
