2022 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 Complaints

My vehicle is at 30k miles and the front 2 tires are showing signs of a huge tire quality issue. They are Bridgestone Alenza tires. Looking online this appears to be a huge common problem. The outside 1/4 of the tire tread has chunks missing that are roughly 1/2"long x 1/2" wide x 1/8" deep spots. This kind of wear pattern appears to be around the whole tire circumference and on both tires.

The door locks failed again on the same door that had opened while in motion in December of 2023. This time the door failed to open when trying to exit the car. Also while driving it kept clicking inside as it was trying to open while vehicle was in motion. This occurred Mid September 2024. Also the ADAS system failed while driving and car wanted to steer on wrong way had to fight with the steering. This was also addressed in 2023. This car had all recalled done related to doors and had two failures in less then a year. This car is a safety risk to people. I have documentation to support all these findings.

The contact owns a 2022 Volkswagen ID.4. The contact stated that the vehicle was hard to charge. The vehicle failed to charge after placing on the charger.

The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The manufacturer suggested to the contact that an electrician check the house. The electrician confirmed the electrical outlets were working as designed. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

My cars screen which is digital and radio screen went blank , I couldn't see anything such as speedometer and could not control my climate air conditioning to clear the windshield. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and turned off my car then when I turned the car back on,,, the screen restarted like a computer and I was able to drive safely.. it happened two times on July and August 2024. My car is brand new when I got it and has approximately 22K mile when it happened, it 25K mile now. I took it to the Volkswagen dealership it they did not take my car to diagnose because they said that their is recall already regarding the issue and their is no fix available at that time ...

In the VW ID.4, one can retract the rear-view mirrors, making the car a bit narrower, for example for parking. Multiple times, I have started the car and been unable to extend the rear-view mirrors. Not only can I not use the rear-view mirrors, but also, I am distracted trying to figure out how to make them extend. For example, I turn the switch multiple times and failing that, I LOOK at the switch (instead of the road) to verify that I am moving the correct item. This problem has been temporarily mitigated by pulling over, turning off the car, and re-starting it.

I’ve had a recall on this car for over 4 months and the dealership/brand hasn’t been able to fix the car yet. I recently got another recall that looks it won’t be fixed because, as the first one, the repairs are not yet available. The dashboard and the screen every now and then will go off and reset as if I was turning the car on. It has happened when the car is moving. My car is loosing value due to this recalls because it’s reported and I don’t feel safe driving and thinking that the car might suddenly go off in the middle of the road

The dashboard and user interface for the vehicle resets, crashes, reboots, crashes and reboots while driving constantly. The dash and entire console is affected. We have had it serviced at least three times for this issue and it has not been remedied even though VW has done full module replacements. The doors also unlock and lock and unlock and lock repeatedly. We no longer feel safe driving the vehicle because the center console will not remain on for more than a few minutes before starting a crash-reboot cycle.

For the past couple of months, noticing an issue where the main Display in center and also Dashboard above the steering wheel goes pitch black with nothing being displayed while driving. A few times, I was driving on the highway and all screens were black, I could not see what speed I was going at. #2: CarPlay is constantly rebooting every 2 seconds, disconnecting and connecting but e not continuously connected #3 CarPlay automatically connects when I am not in the car but in the living room. None of this observations happened in the first 2 years of my ownership but happening now, I have taken an appt with VW dealer but issue is intermittent, it just goes away without me doing anything.

I am writing to report two concerning safety issues with my vehicle: Repeated Door Clicking During Car Wash: On multiple occasions while driving through an automatic car wash, I have noticed that the car doors repeatedly click, as if attempting to unlock or open. This erratic behavior occurs despite no input from the driver or passengers, raising concerns about the vehicle’s electrical system and its reliability under normal operating conditions. Speedometer Malfunction: More critically, the instrument panel, including the speedometer, has gone completely black while driving. The panel remains non-functional for 5-10 minutes before rebooting on its own, leaving me unable to see my speed or other critical driving information during this period. This issue poses a significant risk to my safety as well as the safety of others on the road. Both issues are unpredictable and have occurred multiple times, making the vehicle unsafe under certain conditions. I kindly request your assistance in investigating these problems to ensure that no further safety hazards arise.

My complaint is that VW has not fixed a recall in a timely manner. I am writing in reference to recall number 24v344. This is a software recall that was initiated almost 4 months ago and has not been addressed. This diminishes the value of the vehicle and makes it unusable for my purposes. In addition, there is a second new recall for #24V651. This is the second time there have been issues with the door handles and possible water ingress. There was a previous recall on this issue which required inspection by the dealer and my vehicle was not affected. VW has had plenty of time to address this issue since the same issue was present on the last recall. I use this vehicle in a rental business with Turo. I am unable to rent a vehicle with any open recalls.
