Volkswagen ID4

"Truly a "first world" problem, but the wi-fi interface with the iPhone is just weird if you don't have Verizon. I'd like it to connect to apple play seamlessly as did the car it replaced, a Tiguan, and sometimes when I am connected the wi-fi issue doesn't let apps work, e.g., maps or anything that uses internet. I can't figure it out. Sometimes it is fine for weeks, then it gets into a cycle of just insisting on wi-fi connectivity and won't play nicely with my phone. Sad they only have Verizon; if they used my carrier I'd probably spring for it."

"At various times, the screen would freeze or sometimes just go blank. I would need to reboot the system."

"Twice the display screen wouldn't turn on with the car. We believe both times it was due to an update that may have been interrupted. In an electric, you need that display screen to know most of what's happening with the car. VW team was great about checking it out and both times ran the update fresh and it was fine."

"The right headlight and lightbar, which spans between the two front headlights, stopped working and needed replacement under warranty. The biggest challenge was that the dealership had only one service tech trained on EVs, and he seemed to be absent often, delaying my repairs. This was for both the repair and regular service. Each took two weeks apiece,"

""I purchased the car in July, and the problem began almost instantly. I had to leave the car for a month, when I picked it up it still wasnt fixed. I again left it at the dealer. They determined it was the line that was leaking the fluid. It has been successfully repaired, but it took close to 2 months.""
