ID.4

My driver-€™s side door has had several odd behaviors. Initially, the door handle wouldn-€™t open the door when opening from the outside. This behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the handle works from the outside, sometimes it doesn-€™t. After the behavior with the door handle started, I also had the door occasionally open itself while I was in the car. This tended to happen while stopped. It has happened once while I was driving slowly, repeatedly opening and closing the door to see if it wouldn-€™t stop opening itself (this one time the behavior was particularly stubborn). I door the car to the dealership when the door handle behavior started. They ordered a part and are supposed to get back to me.

I was pulling onto a highway from a residential street when the ID.4 suddenly lost power and just about every warning imaginable popped up on the dash. The power loss was so sudden that it almost felt like hitting a curb. I was eventually able to get the car back up to speed but it accelerated very slowly. The dash flashed several warnings, including something about the electrical system, traction control system, AWD system, auto hold not available, ABS, lane keep and travel assist not available, forward collision not available, parking assist not available, and probably others I missed as well. I was able to get it back home and after letting it sit for about five minutes I turned it back on and everything seemed to work normally.

UNKNOWN - My ID4 stalled with ALL errors appearing today (2nd time in 2 days). I was rolling to a stop at a light, around 10mph. The car errored out suddenly and I was stuck. The car could not move for 1-2 minutes. I had to attempt to turn on/off multiple times, put it into park then drive and park and drive until it would start moving again. I was lucky this happen at a stop light otherwise I would have been rear ended on the freeway, which cause extreme harm. The dealer checked the 12v and said it was fine. They do not have an appointment for another two months.

Got in car, put foot on the brake and put it in gear. The car jumped forward and I had to press brakes with all my strength to keep it from accelerating to full -€œthrottle-€. It did the exact same when I put it in reverse. I turned the car off, got out, gave it a couple of minutes and tried two more times. It did the same thing every time. It is like the accelerator is pressed to the floor as soon as you put it in gear without you touching it. I almost hit my house due to the wheels being turned before the first try. I called a tow truck to take it to the dealer. I have only had the car for two weeks. The consumer stated that they discovered what the issue was and that they would like to cancel their complaint.

Because all aspects of the cabin comfort are controlled through a visual screen, it's extremely dangerous to drive at night, or even sometimes during heavy daytime traffic. The car drives very well, but is quick, and taking one's eyes off the road even momentarily is risky. I've had several close calls already, and I am an older woman who drives conservatively. It's a struggle to find the defroster, or to turn on the heater, and I dare not change the radio station!
