Was driving out of a parking lot. I was in a full stop and had the car in drive. When staring to move from a full stop the car started to go in reverse. I was on a decline. I tried reassuring the car was in drive and when pressing the peddle it went backward. The d light was on but going in reverse when the pedal was pressed. Had to put the car in park and again in drive to get out of this bug.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the car manual provided for my Volkswagen. The current manual is abridged, which makes it challenging to understand all of the car's functions. This lack of comprehensive instructions can be particularly difficult and unsafe, especially when attempting to operate certain features while driving. A fully unabridged manual would greatly assist in understanding how to properly use all functions of the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1 complaint
I believe there is a fire risk. Attached is a picture of the fuse block and a device attached to an empty fuse location. Correct procedure is to attach here with a fuse. Instead they attached a wire to the hot side of a fuse location that has no fuse. This small red wire goes to the device. The device is fused and a small black wire comes off the device to a ground . The problem is that the red wire itself is not protected for about a foot until there is the inline fuse. If this wire shorts to ground it would potentially cause a fire. This is a dangling wire in the fuse box area where a person may access this area to get the tire pump or the metal attachment for securing the vehicle. The proper procedure would have been to install the red wire on a small fuse block protected by a proper sized fuse for the wire, Instead of having the unprotected wire dangling in front of the fuse box. This appears to be something the manufacturer added late, and was hacked in by someone that did not have automotive electrical degree. I would expect a mistake like this from an unlicensed kid in a stereo shop, not an automotive manufacturer.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1 complaint
The contact owns a 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz. The contact stated that while the daughter was turning right onto a curb to park and lifting her foot off the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and crashed into the rear of another parked Honda vehicle, pushing the Honda vehicle approximately eight feet during the impact. During the crash, the vehicle experienced severe front-end damage, but the air bags did not deploy. The collision avoidance also did not engage. The contact zip-tied the grill onto the vehicle in order to replicate the failure the next day. No injuries were reported, and a police report was filed online. The contact indicated that the touch buttons on the steering wheel were easily activated and sensitive to touch, which may have caused the vehicle to erroneously accelerate. The local dealer was notified of the failure and offered to look into a resolution. In addition, the dealer mentioned that in similar cases, vehicles were bought back. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 100.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

The rearview camera and rear cross-traffic alert system in my vehicle failed to function while I was reversing. The camera screen went completely black, and the cross-traffic warning did not activate. Because I had no visibility behind the vehicle and received no alerts, I backed into a neighbor’s mailbox post. The impact damaged my rear right turning lights and the mailbox post. These safety systems are critical for preventing collisions, and their unexpected failure created a significant safety risk to me and my neighbor. The vehicle is currently at the dealer for repair of the turn signal light. The dealer has not inspected the camera issue because the camera began working again after the incident, so the malfunction has not yet been reproduced or confirmed. No warning lights, messages, or symptoms appeared before the failure, and it occurred without any prior indication. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

STRUCTURE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The vehicles Charging port door is swing type and as such on the open position protrudes out of the car body. In addition it has no warning light on the dash or anywhere to indicate its orientation position like open or close , this causes confusion while driving reversing or otherwise any other operation for the driver to ascertain the same if left open .It makes the car prone to accidents and security risk for anyone passing by or even the driver and the passengers as the charge door if left open can hit other objects or persons unintentionally and break fly off as a projectile . Reported this major flaw to the manufacturer , they said they cannot do anything about it . Had an mishap recently with the charge door been open and snap it while reversing since there was no dash warning to let me know it was open . Also the, manufacturer is forcing any damages caused by this accident because of this vital feature being absent to be borne by the owner. Here is the case VW case #07090204

SERVICE BRAKES
1 complaint
The cars brakes randomly firm and grab hard, or in other cases are soft and require the drive to depress them twice or three times as much as when they are firm, or they needed to be pumped to engage as expected. This car has been inspected by the manufacturer and not issues were found. A similar concern was reported by consumer reports in their review. “feeble and inconsistent brake pedal feel” This has caused numerous issues of unintended hard braking when you need to stop quickly.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
1 complaint
The automatic braking that is meant to assist is actually very dangerous. There are many situations in which GROWN ADULTS, who should know how to control a vehicle (and thus do not need a vehicle to make decisions by itself) can be jolted by this braking. Numerous times, I have been backing out of my garage, and the safety system notices something (nothing is actually in my path- perhaps a dandelion floated across the camera?) and slams the brakes to hard. My child has been thrown because of this. When in our own driveway, or reaching for the mailbox, or paying a parking ticket, we may be unbuckled. And the car will just slam so hard. It feels like the entire driveshaft is falling out.
