2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Complaints

Twice now, my center touch screen display has failed to operate upon startup. Restarting the vehicle does not fix the problem.The problem is not able to be replicated for the dealer as it happens at random(twice over 13,000 miles). No warnings predicated the error, nor would they be displayable since the screen is off. The vehicle is able to be driven under the error. The backup camera is not usable under the error making for a very dangerous error. The voice assistant does not function under the error(a potential alternative method of accessing the controls that are lost when the screen is in error). Under the second error event, the driver display additionally did not turn on. The vehicle would allow me to drive but did not display speed, gear selection, miles, or any warnings. Drive, Reverse, Park, turn signals, horn, all lighting, regenerative braking and windshield wipers were tested and were functional. All HVAC controls are only accessible through the screen. Under the second...

My 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz is subject to recall 90A2 (NHTSA Campaign 25V233000) concerning an incorrect brake system warning light symbol and color on the instrument panel display. The prescribed remedy is a software update performed by an authorized VW dealer. The vehicle has been at Gunther Volkswagen of Clermont on two separate occasions for this recall and has not been successfully remediated either time. First visit: dropped off April 17, 2026, picked up April 18, 2026 -- update failed. Second visit: dropped off April 20, 2026 and the vehicle remains at the dealer as of today, April 28, 2026 -- now 10 cumulative days out of service across both visits. During the second visit, the dealer attempted a CAN Bus Sleep procedure as a troubleshooting step, but the software update continued to fail at a specific step in the process. The dealer has confirmed the failure and is in contact with VW ODIS Support. This appears to be a systemic issue with VW's software update infrastructure affec...

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.

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.

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 d...
