2025 Volkswagen Id. Buzz Problems

I am reporting a safety concern involving my 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Pro S RWD. While reversing at approximately 3 mph out of a parking spot, the vehicle suddenly and automatically applied the brakes with extreme force even though there was no obstacle behind the vehicle and no apparent reason for emergency braking. The stop was so abrupt that it felt as though the vehicle had struck a solid object and caused the occupants to experience whiplash-like movement. The braking appears to have been caused by the vehicle's Maneuver Braking/parking collision-avoidance system. This was not simply a warning or normal parking-assistance intervention; the vehicle unexpectedly brought itself to a violent stop. I am concerned that false activation of this system creates its own safety hazard. An unexpected full-force stop while maneuvering could injure occupants, cause a driver to lose control of the situation, or create a collision risk with another vehicle or road user who is not expecting the vehicle to stop suddenly. There was no visible obstacle that would explain the intervention. It's possible the camera system was confused by some shade during a sunny day. I believe this incident should be investigated as a potential defect involving false activation of the automatic braking system on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.

The contact owns a 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz. The contact stated that while driving and stopping at a stoplight for approximately 20 seconds, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated and crashed into a 2022 Jeep Wrangler. The vehicle crashed into the other vehicle approximately three times, causing the other vehicle to crash into another vehicle. The brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond as intended. The vehicle was turned off and later restarted and driven to the residence. The manufacturer, Volkswagen Group of America, was contacted by phone. The contact attempted to obtain the data from the EDR. The failure mileage was approximately 6,600.

I am writing to report a serious safety concern regarding the rear brakes. The components are producing heavy squeaking and grinding noises, leading to concerns that the system is defective and unreliable for emergency braking. Additionally, the excessive noise level is a public distraction that negatively impacts the driving environment for others.

My vehicles power doors have become exponentially more difficult to open since new in manual mode. I am now not able to open the rear door manually without throwing my weight into it, and my children cannot do it in assisted. I have confirmed with my dealer and a floor unit that the door is infact more difficult to open in manual mode vs power assist. This concerns me because in the event of an accident my children may not be able to evacuate the rear of the car unassisted. VW confirmed there is nothing to be done at the time because “ the rear door is designed to be only operated automatically” and will not investigate until the door motor fails. I believe this is a serious flaw in the design.

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

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.
