Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“To start, have requested the vehicle paperwork many times and the dealership has failed to give me a copy. The real problem started when i took my EV to get checked as the battery was not lasting long, they said it was normal, took it again as it stopped charging on type 1 and 2 chargers, they now said it was the Onboard charging module. Also had to take the vehicle for a recall a few months ago as it had faulty door locking sensors. …”

“The car's turtle light was on, and the car started moving slowly with instructions to part the car immediately. I brought the car to the service on 10/18/2024, and they could not diagnose it after 3 hours. I returned the vehicle on 10/21/2024 with the same complaint, and the car has been at the dealership service since then. VW instructed the service to replace one battery module, which did not solve the problem. Now, the service is waiting on different back-ordered parts, and there is no timeline for the arrival of the parts, nor are they sure this is the resolution.”

NHTSA complaint #11628854, filed 2024-12

“VW recall on ID 4 for battery range dropping under the listed battery range. Know recall on battery without any solution. Local VW dealership in Thousand Oaks, CA without any solution. Driving 45 miles with 100% charged battery will drop the battery by 60+ miles. Battery range drops an average of 3-4 miles per 1 mile driven. Notified dealership of issue 1 day after vehicle purchase.”

NHTSA complaint #11720184, filed 2026-02

“Vehicle was being driven at highway speed when loss of power occurred, vehicle moved to side of road and would not restart. Performed 12v capacitve procedure with no change. Hazard lights would not function, other 12v systems remained on.”

NHTSA complaint #11747010, filed 2026-06

“The car's position as shown on the navigation screen and as determined by the car's internal GPS was off by several hundred miles. While driving on the highway using adaptive cruise control, the car would frequently decelerate rapidly from 60+ mph to 30 or less. When it did this, it would display a message like turn ahead - maximum 24 mph . Of course, there was no tight turn ahead as I was on an interstate highway in New York - the ACC was receiving messages to slow down because the location data was inaccurate. …”
