Recall 91VH causes some cars to break carnet modules and other modules. If you google the issues, you will find that Recall 91VH (5.4.3) causes multiple cars to break. We should not have to appeal and plead with VW on a 2 year old vehicle to get it fixed. This puts saftey at risk as it causes multiple malfunctions and warning lamps to appear. The dealer says to replace the module, but VW denies the modules are affected by the update.

VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 2024 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I am reporting an unresolved safety recall (NHTSA 26V030, Volkswagen recall 93EA) involving a high-voltage battery defect with potential risk of fire. My vehicle (VIN: [XXX] ) was purchased in the United States but is currently located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The authorized Volkswagen distributor in the Dominican Republic has confirmed they are unable to perform the recall repair, as they do not service electric vehicles. As a result, I am operating a vehicle with a known safety defect and no available remedy, despite this being an active safety recall. I have contacted Volkswagen and requested assistance, but currently no solution has been provided. I am requesting guidance and intervention regarding how manufacturers are expected to address safety recalls for U.S.-sold vehicles located outside the country.

VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 2024 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
high
Car was plugged in to our home level 2 charger waiting to charge (no current was being supplied yet). Alarm went off, I went into our attached garage and checked on it. Heard a high pitch beeping coming from the car, went into it and saw this message (see attached picture). Took picture while waiting for garage door to open so I could back car out of garage and as far down our driveway as possible. Called fire department and then disconnected high voltage battery from under the hood. FD arrived and didn't really know what to do. Alarm continued to go off. Eventually a flatbed arrived and I had it delivered to our local dealer. We use this car in rural VT. The weather right now is single digits or below. We regularly use this to transport our one year old. Had this not happened at home but on a drive, this certainly could have been a much, much worse situation. The car is currently at the dealer waiting to be looked at. The person said I Was the third ID4 to come in over the weekend. They are not currently providing us with a loaner even though we requested one.

VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 2024 EXTERIOR LIGHTING
medium
The vehicle has a recurring door handle/door lock malfunction associated with Volkswagen safety recall 57J9. Symptoms include the vehicle unlocking and immediately re-locking, auto-unlock failure, and difficulty entering the vehicle. All four door handles were previously replaced under the recall (Feb 2025), but the malfunction recurred. On 01/26/2026 I delivered the vehicle to a Volkswagen dealer for recall repair; it was fully drivable at drop-off. During the recall-related software/coding procedure, the dealer reported the procedure could not be completed because the software would not accept the currently installed headlamp modules. A manufacturer Techline case was opened (SK-1561187) and the dealer reported they were advised to replace both headlamp assemblies due to part number incompatibility. After the attempted recall procedure/diagnostics, the vehicle became not drivable and has remained at the dealer continuously for over 30 business days. The manufacturer later denied warranty coverage and closed the case unless the owner pays to replace headlamps (approx. $3,887.79) in order to complete the recall procedure. The door locking/entry malfunction and inability to complete a safety recall repair creates a safety risk (potential inability to enter/exit and vehicle immobilization after recall service). The vehicle is available for inspection at the dealer.
