While driving on highway, the driver side door opened with no user input. This happened twice. Once before the handle water ingress recall, and another incidence after the first recall was fixed. Apparently, it did not address problem. The door continues to pop open while the car is moving at high speed unexpected.

Despite multiple recalls, VW is unable to address door handle problem where doors sporadically will not open from inside or outside. I have gone to the dealership multiple times to report the problem and they are not able to address. This is a real concern in case of an accident where passengers would not be able to get out of the car. Dealer

The passenger door opened on its while the car was coming to a stop. Then a few other occasions same issue. The vehicle had the recall completed and the issues still persist with the car. I did record on a separate incident when the wheel was engaged in reverse where the door opens couple times by itself.
