Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While stopped at a red light, the passenger door opened unprompted & by itself twice. I tried to lock the door on the driver panel, however that seemed to not work as the light did not illuminate signaling the doors locked. When I began driving, the same door opened again by itself. This is a major safety risk to have the doors open by themselves while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11503030, filed 2023-01“VW failed to perform the repairs associated with recall 24V651 because the necessary parts are not available despite months of leadtime. It costs me $80 each time I bring my car in. It is currently at the dealership and they have no eta for the parts.”
NHTSA complaint #11652607, filed 2025-04“The driver side door unlocks and opens itself while I am driving the vehicle. In addition, while I am driving, the door opening or locking mechanism (I am unsure which) can be heard moving although this does not always lead to the door opening itself.”
NHTSA complaint #11512854, filed 2023-03“Second day after purchasing the new car, WHILE DRIVING the front passenger door just swung open. I thought it was not closed properly, but it kept happening again! I took it to the dealer and was informed that they are seeing multiple cars with the same issue. It is a huge safety issue and it seems that these electronic door handles cannot handle cold and keep malfunctioning. The car is at the dealer right now and VW does not have the parts to fix it or is afraid to address the issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11509947, filed 2023-03“The drivers side door no longer opens from the outside of the Vehicle, I have to climb over the passenger seat to enter the car. Yes available for inspection In an emergency situation I would not be able to enter the vehicle from the drivers side, and it’s unclear if it will fail further and prevent exit from the vehicle Yes the dealer has confirmed the issue There are no warning lamps The biggest issue is the manufacturer has no date for a fix. Picture from the service department is attached.”
