2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Fuel system Problems

“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.”

“Ever since I picked this car up I've noticed that it's been having constant electrical gremlins. Some days things will work some days things will not work. But the issue that I'm writing about is that earlier this week on a Monday I went to go to a local charger. When I was done charging about 10 minutes later I was pulling out of a parking lot and coasting to a stop to get on the main road. However even though I was pressing the brake pedal the car suddenly lurched forward and started accelerating. …”

“While driving to work at 6:45AM, on a secondary road with the vehicle in B mode and the main cruise control switch active, but not on, I approached an intersection and was attempting to use the vehicle's regenerative braking. My right foot was off the gas and gently resting on the brake peddle. This is when I felt the car suddenly accelerate. I immediately pressed the break peddle which slowed the car appropriately, but not to a complete stop. I released the break at which point the car re-accelerated. I immediately reapplied the break and came to a complete stop. …”

“The car has now 3 times over the last year suddenly lurched forward while braking and pulling into a parking spot. The first time it went over a curb and into a yard. We thought it could be a mistake, but my wife, driving, has never had an accident in 40 years driving. Happened again, and we thought maybe it had something to do with cruise control and hepatic sensitive buttons. But we keep that system off unless we are on the highway. This time it lurched forward but she managed to get it to stop just as it touched the parked car in front. No damage. Foot was on the brake as coming to a stop. …”

“After charging our EV vehicle, an error regarding an electrical system fault displayed on the dash. However, it was very brief and was no longer displayed after a few seconds, leaving only a triangle with an exclamation point illuminated on the dash. Unaware that propulsion power was limited, we proceeded to drive the vehicle, however while making a left turn across oncoming traffic, we realized that the ID4 was limited to around 10-20 percent of normal propulsion, even with the gas pedal to the floor. This nearly caused an accident due to nearly not being able to clear traffic.”
