2024 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 Complaints

Several issues with the ID.4's Navigation module including 1. Dynamic Signage not Available warning signs and posting an incorrect speed limit on the dashboard. 2. Incorrect GPS Location, showing locations that are significantly off from the actual location and therefore providing incorrect directions to charging locations and other destinations. 3. The SOS Feature is inactive due to the vehicle's inability to determine its location. The vehicle has been with the dealer several times over the past 3 months and has been unable to be fixed. Furthermore, due to the above issues, several features of the vehicle are unusable including android auto.

GPS/navigation cannot determine position. ACC/driver-assist features are sometimes disabled, but then reactivate with no warning. Car will automatically brake for no reason on interstate since navigation suddenly indicates it has has entered, say, a 30 mph zone 100 miles to the east. Automatic distance keeping from vehicle in front turns off/on at random. VW dealer and Corporate are aware of the problem but state there is no known fix.

The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen ID.4. The contact stated upon pulling to a parking space and depressing the brake pedal, the brake Auto Brake Hold system engaged; however, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly, and the front end of the vehicle crashed into the side of one unoccupied parked vehicle, and then crashed into the front of a second unoccupied parked vehicle, which hit the front of a third unoccupied parked vehicle. The brake pedal was depressed during the failure, but the vehicle failed to respond. The air bags did not deploy. No injury was sustained. A police report was filed, but the information was not available. The vehicle was towed to Triple A storage facility. The vehicle was then towed to an autobody repair shop, where an estimate of the damage sustained was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact requested an investigation of the failure. The vehicle was in the process of being towed to the dealer auto collision center. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and sent a data retriever authorization form and an event questionnaire form, which the contact had filled out and returned to the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 3,800.

I was driving my 2024 ID.4 S when an error popped up stating that I needed to “clean front parking sensors” and “maneuver braking is unavailable.” At my earliest convenience I attempted to clean the sensors but the issue persisted. Upon consult with the dealership I was informed that the sensors have a tiny rock knick and my front sensors need replacing. This was a $1700 repair. The vehicle is only a year old and has been driven very carefully. My concern is that. Volkswagen Auto Group uses cheap sensors print to failure and as a result my emergency maneuver braking feature is at risk of not working.

The car's position as shown on the navigation screen and as determined by the car's internal GPS was off by several hundred miles. While driving on the highway using adaptive cruise control, the car would frequently decelerate rapidly from 60+ mph to 30 or less. When it did this, it would display a message like "turn ahead - maximum 24 mph". Of course, there was no tight turn ahead as I was on an interstate highway in New York - the ACC was receiving messages to slow down because the location data was inaccurate. On two occasions this nearly caused a rear-end collision before I was able to disable the feature in ACC that would cause the car to decelerate because of small radius roadway curvature. During this time, the car's navigation system would continuously try to re-route, and the SOS functionality did not work.

Since the door handle recall. The door handles on the front driver and passenger side have dead spots which make it harder and annoying to open the door. Volkswagens has even admitted to these dead spots .

Car was charging, when we got in the car it tell is there is a potential risk of fire. Recall has not been address since last year.

ID.4 2024 Pro AWD (Canada) Cannot connect to CARNET (Since June 16 2024, for past 5 days), vehicle breaks suddenly on highway. Dash displays approaching intersection but there's no intersection. Traumatizing experience. 1. Vehicle was connected to Google map, but VW insists on trusting their own navigation system (even though it's not working). 2. No way for user to connect the car's network to be "online" using personal cellphone data. (Forcing user to buy CARNET package, otherwise safety is not guaranteed) 3. For a 2024 EV, vehicle should at least design safety measure for such scenario. If the driver's hands are detected on the steering wheel, and ACC is ON. The car will NOT auto break during intersection. (It doesn't break BEFORE the intersection any way!!!) In uploaded picture taken in an intersection. Connected to google map, but vehicle dashboard displays current road is 100 KM/H zone. (It's a 50KM/H zone). Driver safety cannot be promised!!!!

The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen ID.4. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V651000 (Structure); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to charge intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was concerned that the charging failure was related to the recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

Car will not start, although there is 70% charge. This has occurred 3 times. Gets towed to deal where they tell us "it magically fixed itself." Error message states that 12v battery is not working. Was advised by dealer that recall would not fix this problem. THey advised this can happen any time the car is charged (EV vehicle) and we will just have to tow it back to be "reset" each time.
