VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
highWhile attempting to park in my driveway, the vehicle experienced a complete loss of braking. The brake pedal did not stop the vehicle, and pressing the electronic parking brake switch had no effect. The vehicle continued forward and crashed through my closed garage door. The only reason it stopped was because it struck another vehicle parked inside my garage. That impact pushed the parked vehicle into my garage refrigerator, which then damaged the drywall on the garage wall adjacent to my bedroom. None of the safety systems functioned as expected. The parking sensors did not activate, there were no proximity warnings, and the automatic emergency braking system did not engage. After the crash, I exited the vehicle, but it remained powered on instead of shutting down automatically. It only turned off after I got back into the vehicle and exited multiple times. This incident involved a total loss of hydraulic and regenerative braking, an unresponsive electronic parking brake switch, failure of the parking sensors and automatic emergency braking, and failure of the high-voltage shutdown sequence upon driver exit, resulting in a structural collision. The vehicle has been towed to the dealership and is available for inspection. I am awaiting the dealership's diagnosis and have also reported the incident to my insurance company. No warning lights or messages appeared before the failure. This malfunction created a serious safety hazard and could have resulted in severe injury or death if anyone had been in the vehicle's path.

mediumRecall 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.

highI 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
highCar 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.
