The vehicle-??s door handle malfunctioned twice, causing a door to open unexpectedly while driving at normal speeds. Small children were present as passengers during one of these incidents, increasing the risk of injury had the door opened fully or had another driver reacted suddenly to the open door. There were no warning lamps, audible alerts, or error messages before these occurrences. The handles and related components remain installed and could be made available for inspection upon request. Additionally, the dashboard display occasionally goes blank or glitches, making it impossible to read speed, warning indicators, or other critical information while driving. This issue occurs intermittently and does not seem to follow any specific pattern. No visible warning lamps or messages appear before the display malfunctions. These problems have been reported to an authorized dealer, who acknowledged known defects but indicated that no repairs or remedies are currently available. To date, the issues have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other third parties, apart from the dealer-??s acknowledgment. Without a functioning remedy, these malfunctions continue to present a safety concern, especially with young passengers onboard and limited access to essential driving information due to the dashboard failures.

I have a Manufacturer Compliance Recall and a Manufacturer Safety Recall outstanding, neither of which the manufacturer can fix. I have called the dealership multiple times to make an appointment to have them fixed, but they do not yet have the remedies available. I have had multiple problems with this car from the day I got it on November 6, 2023. I get errors that pop up constantly on the screen, but they come and go so quickly while I'm driving that I can barely read them, much less take a photo. One of them says maneuver braking is not available. My screen goes out and flashes constantly, but again, it happens so quickly that I can't get photos while I'm driving. I have tried many times, but I'm not going to risk my safety to get a photo of my failing software. This car has no TPMS sensors, so I never have any idea of the status of my tires or if they're low. The car brakes suddenly, going forward and in reverse, and it has happened going at a high speed on the tollway. It was very scary and thankfully no one was behind me. I have trouble getting the charger out of the port on a regular basis. I have to unlock the vehicle on the fob about 5 times before the charger will come out. When I plug in the charger, it is hit or miss whether it will actually charge. I always have to check it later to see if it actually did. It charges on the first try about 50% of the time, and this car has put me in a bind multiple times when I have a long drive the next day. I believe Volkswagen hired the least competent engineers to build this car. It is the most frighteningly terrible car I've ever driven, and I believe Volkswagen should buy this car back from me at the current market value.

back right door opened up while driving through our neighborhood at slow speed turning onto another street a few months ago. at the time didn't think much of it and maybe just a fluke but it makes sense now that I know there's a door handle recall. also now our driver side outside door handle won't open as of a few days ago and our VW dealer doesn't know what's going on after trying to fix it and waiting for corporate to call them back. wanted to make sure this was reported in the event we have further issues and they cant repair it. thanks

The rear passenger door got stuck and did not open while we were inside. My son tried to open it and it was just stuck. The other 3 doors in the car opened fine. I locked and unlocked/turned the child locks on and off/ turned the car on and off and nothing would open the door from the interior. My son was stuck. I recorded 3 minutes of all these things going on. Finally, I could open the door from the outside of the car. The door has been malfunctioning (not closing, opening on its own, or getting stuck) since I purchased the vehicle 18 months ago. The dealer initially refused to inspect bc they could not replicate but I started taking videos. One month ago they had replaced the latch and other components but it did not fix the problem. The car is back in service.

Was stationary in dense traffic, all waiting for a local bridge to open. We had been waiting for 10 or so minutes. Had braked and stopped close to car in front, car in Auto Hold. All of a sudden, my car accelerated quickly into stationary car in front, twice I believe, before I was able to brake and turn car off. I do not know why this happened or whether there were any warnings. Affected my car, car in front of me, and car in front of them. No one hurt, my car front rather damaged, perhaps $12,000+, car in front damaged front and rear. We were able to drive away, but my car not safe to drive. Is currently parked and waiting to be towed once collision shop space is available. I have not taken to dealer to test as is not safe to drive. No one has inspected in person yet.

While the vehicle was in driving on the street, and when we stopped at the streetlight the vehicle went to parking mode, and the drivers door suddenly got opened.

The rear passenger door does not close properly. I first noticed this when I got home from the dealer the day I purchased it. I contacted them right away but the dealer said there was nothing they could do. 6 weeks later the doors were recalled and I got the recall fix. It kept happening. The dealer will not take any further action because they cannot replicate when I drop off for a service call. They won't even take the car. I have photos and videos. I called VW NA and they said there is no issue. Puts safety of passengers at risk.

2023 VW ID.4 - While driving the passenger door latch started making a clicking noise and door became ajar triggering a door ajar light on dash information center. Passenger held door from completely opening until it was safe to pull over. Door latch continued to make clicking noises and continued to open itself. A google search revealed recall campaign "Door handle recall 57J5 [NHTSA 23V312] for MY21 and MY22" It was raining out when this happened. Volkswagen clearly hasn't fixed this issue for MY23.

I submitted a previous report regarding my passenger front door attempting to open while the vehicle was in motion. Yesterday the door fully opened under motion with my wife as a passenger. It sounds like the latch kept cycling until the door opened. My wife just prior to departure decided to start video recording while driving as we both believed the dealer may not be able to replicate the incidents. We have recording of this we can email. The door does attempt to open several times on some days, some days it doesn't. My vehicle according to the dealer is not a part of the affected vin's for the recall. It has not been back to the dealer for evaluation and repair yet. This has become an extremely dangerous situation as an owner or passenger.

Per the existing recall on my vehicle, the driver-??s side door handle has failed. It will unlatch at random times (including when driving at speeds between 1-20 mph), it will not unlatch when attempting to get into the vehicle, and the sensors have started to fail causing the car to believe the door is open when it isn-??t which has caused the car to do an emergency stop on several occasions while it was in motion. This luckily hasn-??t led to a collision yet but it easily could. I took the vehicle in to be inspected back in May 2023 when my dealership notified me they had the equipment to inspect the handle. They confirmed it had failed and told me at that time that they would order the parts needed to replace the handle but it might be a while as they were on back order. I spoke with them earlier this month (January 2024) and was lied to that the inspection in May wasn-??t a real inspection and that they had just completed the inspection during my January visit. They knowingly deceived me that the parts were ordered in May and told me the car was still drivable and not a safety risk. This dealership knowingly put me at risk for 8 months and never bothered to communicate with me about the true status of the recall on my vehicle.

29987 miles 11/3/2023 -?" I brought my vehicle to Findlay VW Henderson NV for the 30,000-mile service, the 12V electrical issue, and the door handle recall. Andrew Lammers, the service consultant told me they-??d check everything out while my vehicle was in the shop and before releasing it back to me. I received a call about a week later that there were parts hold. On 11/17 I was advised my vehicle was ready. I was told the 12V battery, high voltage system, and electrical were tested and were okay. 4-wheel alignment, front assist, and lane assist systems were also recalibrated. I was assured I shouldn-??t have any electrical issues any longer. I picked my vehicle up 11/18, one day after I was notified it was finished.

Optical Windshield Distortion The distortion is noticeable on the drivers and passenger sides of the windshield where it meets the vertical frames of the body. They are approximately 2-3 inches wide running the full vertical length. The distortion is clearly visible in full light, affecting peripheral vision of approaching vehicle movement or other passing external sources of glare day and night. They are not visible when the windshield is in shade. The dealership affirmed the malady and submitted a warranty claim to VW regarding the material defect (07/20/23). It was authorized and the windshield was replaced (10/27/23). The replacement windshield has visible distortion as well; affirmed again by dealership service staff. The 2nd warranty claim was denied by Volkswagen. Their reason, related by the dealership service staff, "was that all windshields have distortion". The dealership would not supply documentation when requested. This is clearly a material defect that poses a safety concern under all driving conditions. Verification of this claim can be seen on this vehicle or the dealerships demonstration unit(s) as well as a supportive review of similar incidents at ID4 owner websites such as [XXX] ).

Since we purchased the vehicle in December, 2022, the doors have been unable to open on at least nine occasions, sometimes locking passengers in the vehicle, and sometimes locking passengers out of the vehicle. Using the remote key does not allow the doors to open, only making a clicking sound. As we approach the hot summer months, it is a safety risk to not be able to exit the vehicle. In addition, it is a safety risk to not be able to get into the vehicle when needed. The vehicle has been taken to two different dealerships on three occasions. The service advisor at Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles, VA commented five times while the vehicle was being picked up that he did not believe the vehicle was safe to drive and he wouldn't drive in it with his family. The dealerships were forced to return the vehicle against their judgment by Volkswagen (manufacturer) so that it did not remain "out of service" and trigger lemon laws. VW Customer Care insists that this is part of the open recall on this vehicle but that there is nothing unsafe about the vehicle locking people in the car. They claim that if it was unsafe that NHTSA would issue a stop-drive order, instead of just the recall and stop-sale order.

Please see attached document. This is my second filing. I am still waiting for acknowledgment from NHTSA of my original filing on 3/22/23. The situation is only getting worse.
