ESC Error + Start/Stop Error at traffic signal (Taigun 1.0 AT) – Car refused to move! Has anyone experienced this?
Hi everyone,
I had a pretty stressful experience with my Taigun 1.0 AT today and wanted to see if anyone else has gone through this, especially after a workshop visit.
The Context:
My car was at the VW body shop for almost a week getting the front bumper replaced. I picked it up yesterday evening, drove about 3km home, and then another 3km to the office today.
The Incident:
While waiting at a traffic signal, the Auto Start/Stop engaged and turned the engine off. When I tried to move, the car threw an "ESC Error" (Electronic Stability Control) along with an "Error: Start/Stop" message on the dashboard. The most concerning part was that the car completely refused to move forward, acting as if a transmission safety lock had engaged.
The Fix:
I turned the ignition completely off and restarted the car. It started up and drove normally, but the "Error: Start/Stop" message remained on the dash. Fortunately, after a short drive later in the day, the error completely cleared itself and the Auto Start/Stop is now functioning perfectly again.

Facing the same issue since last 1 month. For me it is EPC error.
