| Jan 2025 | SUSPENSION,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | **Summary of Complaint:** A clicking sound occurs randomly during acceleration, deceleration, and when driving over bumpy roads. Despite bringing the vehicle to an authorized Volkswagen (VW) dealer three times, they were unable to diagnose or resolve the issue. The vehicle is only 2.5 years old and still under warranty. **Detailed Description:** 1. **Symptoms:** A random clicking sound is heard under the following conditions: - When accelerating - When decelerating - While driving on uneven or bumpy roads 2. **Attempts to Resolve:** The vehicle was brought to a VW dealership on three separate occasions. Despite their inspections, they were unable to identify the source of the problem. 3. **Vehicle Details:** The car is relatively new, only 2.5 years old, and remains within the manufacturer's warranty period. 4. **Concerns:** The unresolved issue may pose a safety risk, particularly if the sound is related to critical drivetrain or suspension components. Additionally, repeated unsuccessful repair attempts by the dealer are frustrating. **Resolution Sought:** I would like the NHTSA to review this issue and investigate whether this is a broader concern with similar VW models. I hope VW can be held accountable for properly diagnosing and fixing the problem under warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Oct 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 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.

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.

| Sep 2024 | STRUCTURE,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | 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. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | The seals/bonding on the rear right tail light assembly failed under normal use. Water has recently accumulated in the assembly and caused part of the taillight to stop functioning. In addition to apparent defect in integrity of the light housing, it is likely that there is a secondary defect in the conformal coating that lead to the water being able to damage the light. The internal light monitoring feature also did not detect the failed light element until several days after we identified it was broken. Dealer is attempting to reject coverage for something that should clearly fall under manufacturing and workmanship warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
