Consumer Description

This problem is very intermittent but also very dangerous. It's happened to me three times in the last month. All three times, while I was making a left hand turn, the accelerator stopped working. One time, I was making a left turn in front of 45 MPH oncoming traffic. My left turn was legal as I had plenty of room to complete my turn before the oncoming traffic arrived. My car started the turn then stopped when my car had turned to the left but was in the middle of the intersection with the right side of my car facing the oncoming traffic. I took my foot off the accelerator then pressed down on it again and the car moved forward and out of the intersection which saved me from an accident. The other two times, I didn't come close to an accident but as I was about to accelerate, nothing happened and I had to take my foot off the accelerator and then press down on it again for my car to move. Had there been cars coming from my right, I could have been in a collision. I took my car to the local VW dealer who said they haven't heard of this problem and will run diagnostics. I doubt the diagnostics will find a problem that only occurs a few times a month. I did a search on the internet and found a site where multiple VW ID.4 owners were complaining about this same problem. Some had the issue turning right, not left. I'll attach the document that shows the other complaints as well as the web site link.
