October 26, 2026Electrical System

The Volkswagen ID.4 has an active recall regarding the high voltage battery. There is no remedy, instead they recommend not to charge above 80%. Essentially limiting how far I can go between charging. My particular car limited my charging to 70%, so now instead of charging on weekends, I have to charge daily or every other day, making the money I wanted to save by having an electrical vehicle non existent. I reached out to Volkswagen & they said they couldn’t buy back the vehicle even after informing them, I have small children that I drive in my car & I live on a military base. I do not feel safe having a car that could potentially catch fire with no known reason or remedy.

On Thursday, October 22, 2026, while driving about 30 mph on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, an orange warning triangle appeared on the dash and the vehicle then shut off due to an overheat. Mileage approx. 5,500. This vehicle is covered by Volkswagen Safety Recall 93EX (high-voltage battery cell modules). I believe this event is connected to that recall and request an inspection of the high-voltage battery cell modules. No crash, fire, or injury occurred.

The odometer is reading far higher than the actual mileage. Available for inspection upon request. My or others' physical safety are not at risk. No, it has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, as it is an intermittent issue. I do have a lot of photo and video evidence that proves the problem, though. In fact, it was a VW service advisor that suggested I begin collecting all possible evidence. I presented the evidence to local dealer after the service manager asked me to send it to him this past June (though he never read or responded) as well as regional VW, to whom the case was escalated in June. Regional has offered no solution and had handled the ca

The airbag warning light on my 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 has come on repeatedly since shortly after delivery. The authorized VW dealer has confirmed the same fault code, B101B29, on every visit. The code indicates an implausible or intermittent signal from the passenger side front crash sensor, which the airbag system uses to decide when to deploy the front airbags. First occurrence (September 2025, 322 miles): The dealer confirmed the fault code, tested the wiring, found no fault at that time, and cleared the code. No parts were replaced. Second occurrence (July 2026, about 7,250 miles): The same fault code was confirmed. The dealer tested the wiring and connectors between the airbag control mod
