“All is sudden I hear clicking noice from doors that make scary to drive the car with Kids. Couple of times it unlocked the rear passenger door. I had to to pull over to close and move. It’s been 2 years there are no software updates and center console struck, not responsive , some times reboot automatically, some times we need to force restart and rear camera doesn’t appear.”

“My instrument cluster and infotainment system went black while driving. This means that I had no access to my speedometer, which I believe is a safety issue. Additionally, I had no access to my range estimate or any other vehicle information. No backup camera, no lane assist, etc.”

“While driving approximately 35 mph, there was a thunk . I thought I was hit from behind, but there were no cars or debris around. The dash lit up with multiple warning lights and the car lost all drive power. If this had happened on freeway it could have had a major accident. Car was towed to dealer who said there was an internal battery failure they couldn't work on. Volkswagen then made me pay for a second tow to another dealer. I am currently without the car or further reports.”

NHTSA complaint #11543399, filed 2023-09

“The dashboard and user interface for the vehicle resets, crashes, reboots, crashes and reboots while driving constantly. The dash and entire console is affected. We have had it serviced at least three times for this issue and it has not been remedied even though VW has done full module replacements. The doors also unlock and lock and unlock and lock repeatedly. We no longer feel safe driving the vehicle because the center console will not remain on for more than a few minutes before starting a crash-reboot cycle.”
