Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021-2023 ID.4, 2022-2023 Audi Q4 e-Tron, and Q4 e-Tron Sportback vehicles. The instrument panel may not properly display the transmission gear lever indicator. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021-2024 ID.4 vehicles. The door handles may allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which can cause the doors to open unexpectedly.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (VW) is recalling certain 2021-2023 ID.4 vehicles. Due to a software issue, affected vehicles may experience center displays and instrument panel displays that do not boot, or that sporadically reset. This can result in loss of speedometer information or loss of rearview camera image.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021-2022 ID.4 vehicles. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with door handles that allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which can cause the doors to open unexpectedly when the vehicle is subject to high lateral forces at speeds below 9 mph/15 kmh.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021 ID.4 vehicles. Software programing may cause the high voltage (HV) battery management control module to restart or the pulse inverter to deactivate.
While driving, the red "electrical system not working" error message displayed. The car lost control of acceleration and was non responsive. Loss of vehicle control while driving at freeway speeds is a safety risk to myself and others. The dealer (kearny mesa vw) says that it can not replicate the code, but sent me an estimate with error code 1208 battery and hardware with a $5, 000 replacement fee. When I asked for error codes and a detailed printout of required service, they then messaged me that it is covered under the vw pre-owned service contract for only the $50 deductible. I only have a text message from a service representative, nothing written. The red error message first appeared 48 hours ago while driving and subsequent loss of vehicle control. It appeared again while pressing the brake pedal. I did not drive it then, per instructions, and had it towed to the vw dealer. They don't know when the parts will arrive or when the car will be ready.

This is related to my earlier NHTSA complaint 11771852 for the same vehicle. On 10/16/2026 a Volkswagen dealer ran a diagnostic on a yellow dashboard electrical warning light on my 2021 ID.4 and reported fault codes P0BBD00 (hybrid battery pack voltage variation exceeded limit) and P0AA600 (high voltage battery voltage system isolation fault, sporadic). The dealer found that battery module 6 has uneven cell voltages and needs replacement, and stated that other modules or components may fail in the near future. The warning light remains on, and the displayed range for a given charge level has dropped. Dashboard photos: 10/11/2026 8:03 AM, 65% charge, 109 miles; 10/17/2026 8:09 PM, 73% charge, 86 miles; 10/18/2026 9:41 AM, 85% charge, 88 miles. Between the last two, the charge rose 12 points but the displayed range rose only 2 miles. I understand range is an estimate and I am not stating a cause. I am concerned about the safety of driving with a failing high voltage battery. The vehicle also has an open door handle recall, 24V-651, that has not been completed.

My 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 is subject to open NHTSA Safety Recall 24V-651 (Volkswagen recall 57J9) for the exterior door handles. The recall states that water can enter the door handle electronics and cause a door to open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion, which increases the risk of injury to occupants and others. On 10/16/2026 I took the vehicle to a Volkswagen dealer in Tracy, California, specifically to have this recall performed at no cost. The dealer’s own check-in estimate recorded the recall as “verified open.” The dealer kept the vehicle from 7:43 AM until about 11:00 AM and returned it without performing the recall. Recall parts were reported as not available, and the recall job no longer appears on the final invoice. As a result, the recall remedy for a door that can open unexpectedly while driving has still not been completed on my vehicle. I ask NHTSA to note that the remedy was not completed at this dealer visit, and I ask Volkswagen to provide the parts and a free recall appointment as soon as possible. The door handles are available for inspection on request.

High voltage battery modules fail often and continuously. I am on my third battery module replacement of the year taking up to two weeks for repair. There is also a lighting failure when the weather is hot. All lighting system fail and dont turn on until car is driven for a while and the system cools down. This happens often as I am located in florida. During the summer its almost every day. Dealer hasnt been able to fix. All they have said was that VW told them that is due to the UV of the sun. Nothing they can do. I have never had a car fail its whole lighting system when its hot outside. This is extremly important as front lights wont display turn signals while the system is in this state. Only when the system cools down does the turning signals work again. Dealer has confirmed this but never given me a resolution. The whole dashboard displays light system, sounds system, and turn signal unavailable while the issue is present.

The SOS/ GPS system in my car failed a few days after the warranty expired. So my car no longer knows where it is and if I press the SOS (Emergency Call) button (or if it was automatically triggered after an accident), it does not work and it does not summon help. I asked VW to cover all or part of the cost as "goodwill" for an important safety system and they refused. Failure of the SOS system (either the battery or the communication module) is a known common failure on VWs and on the ID.4 in particular. VW should recall these vehicles so that this important safety system works.
