I’m actually out of state helping take care of my grandson because my daughter had surgery.Any updates? I’m following your journey, because we’re only a few weeks behind you. I really think that we are going to push for a buyback. The lack of communication from VW isn’t sitting well with me.
I hate that you're in the same position as us- no end in sight. We are thankful for the loaner, but it's just not the same (and I hate stopping for gas). Our dealership says that our case is the first they've heard of the door handle issues. I assured them that it was far from an isolated incident.It has been two weeks since I dropped off my 2021 VW ID.4 AWD Pro S with the Gradient Package. I was told last week that my driver's door handle assembly would be in last Tuesday.
I stopped at Flow VW this afternoon and was told that the part was still not in and then the service advisor admitted that he had no idea when it would arrive.
As I have a loaner, I am willing to wait as the ID.4 id completely too dangerous to drive.
VW is also supposed to send a registered letter to me by the March 31 indicating what will be done to rectify the recall on the the high voltage battery management system to prevent the complete loss of the power to the drive motors under certain reset conditions. I in fact had this happen once, but it recovered quickly. The LED light under the windshield turned red and then quickly came back to normal.
Hopefully, the recall solution will be available while the car is there waiting for the driver's door handle assembly.
I see that some people are having problems with the other doors as well. It appears, that this happening even on some 2023 vehicles.
Perhaps, VW will issue a recall to replace all the door handle assemblies? Otherwise, I am worried that when the other door handle assemblies fail too there will another long wait at the dealer!
I got four door handles coming in from Zwickau in two weeks.My door handle didn’t come in, and my dealer is saying VW is giving them no estimates. So I guess I’m in limbo now too.
Awesome, thanks for the helpful comment.I got four door handles coming in from Zwickau in two weeks.
Admittedly, they are attached to a car, but hey, door handles..
We all will be laughing at his next comment in this thread when one of his handles fails to work one day and he would get no ETA when it will be fixed.Awesome, thanks for the helpful comment.
I have no idea why, but I've yet to see one single report of doors opening in Europe.We all will be laughing at his next comment in this thread when one of his handles fails to work one day and he would get no ETA when it will be fixed.
Ok yeah I don't think anyone reported it for Europe. Could just be a different supplier for this part in US.I have no idea why, but I've yet to see one single report of doors opening in Europe.
Keyless access not locking or opening the door, yes, but not one report of doors opening during drive. And I am in the Volkswagen ID. Drivers club, and boy, are there complaints. Mostly about 3.0 OTA not being delivered, but that's another story (everyone already got the 12V and 2.4, and 3.0 rollout did start).
If it was US 2023, I'd point my finger at the US plant, but as it is German-built cars, I have no guesses why it shows up in the US only. Then again the software issue with 360' cameras only affected US cars too...
I'm just going to rely on the issue not popping up for a year or two, and VW having their shit in order before it does.
You mean the part would be different for cars imported to US? My under was that it's happening on cars manufactured in Germany as well, not just Tennessee built.Ok yeah I don't think anyone reported it for Europe. Could just be a different supplier for this part in US.
I thought I saw most are with 2023 MY.You mean the part would be different for cars imported to US? My under was that it's happening on cars manufactured in Germany as well, not just Tennessee built.

Nope, my first EV. Been a long 14 months to wait.A replacement car?
At least 1 poster with this issue was in Great Britain.I have no idea why, but I've yet to see one single report of doors opening in Europe.

That’s awesome news!!!! Remind me how long yours has been in the shop?Just got a text from my Service Manager, the part has arrived and is at the body shop being painted
Mine is a 2021, so built in Germany. That’s interesting about the lack of complaints in Europe, though. 🤔I thought I saw most are with 2023 MY.
