The Volkswagen ID.4 is an all-electric crossover SUV, giving drivers everyday convenience, modern technology, and all-electric performance. Whether you own one of these popular EVs, or you’re considering purchasing one in the near future, have a look at our list of the most common issues on the Volkswagen ID.4 so that you can stay informed.
1. Infotainment & Software Glitches
Owners frequently report screen freezes, blackouts, and system failures affecting navigation, climate control, the rearview camera, and even speedometer visibility, which can raise some safety concerns. Many affected ID.4s (2021–2023) were subject to a recall requiring a software update to restore functionality, so this shouldn’t affect most models.
2. Door Mechanism Recall
A major recall involved 2021–2024 models due to door handles that allow water ingress, potentially causing a short circuit and causing the door latch to fail. VW addressed this by replacing the handles and updating the software.
3. Battery & Charging Reliability Concerns
Some owners report inconsistent charging speeds or unexpected battery drain. These issues often relate to software bugs or battery management system faults.
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Following the Volkswagen ID.4 maintenance schedule is important when it comes to minimizing these common issues. Volkswagen recommends service every 10,000 miles or each year, whichever comes first. At 20,000 miles, more thorough checks like coolant system, high-voltage battery inspection, multi-point vehicle health, and tire rotations are required.
Regular maintenance supports battery health and helps identify smaller issues before more serious problems can occur. Additionally, regular service and maintenance allows for timely inspections of your vehicle, helping track down any additional issues you may now have been aware of.
