NHTSA Complaint #11515762 — 2022 VOLKSWAGEN ID.4

On March 8, 2023 our VW ID.4 (2022) became unsafe and un-drivable after we experienced several alarming malfunctions that threaten driver and passenger safety including: (1) driver door suddenly opening while driving, (2) driver trapped in vehicle as a result of the driver door failing to open (earlier that same day), (3) vehicle suddenly and immediately beginning to move on its own without pressing the accelerator as soon as it was placed in reverse. The dealership's service manager confirmed all of the above findings and further informed us that unintended forward acceleration was also observed by them during their testing of the vehicle. Any one of these issues would be cause for great concern but taken together they have shaken my confidence in the ID.4 as a safe, road-worthy vehicle within which I can transport my wife and child. No vehicle should ever exhibit these types of alarming safety defects let alone one driven for only 6 months with less than 3500 miles on the odometer.
