Owner Reported Trouble Spots

The Reliability score is based on our latest subscriber survey of 2022 Volkswagen ID4 owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

In-car Electronics

Infotainment system (audio, GPS, phone), rear entertainment system, backup or other camera/sensors, head-up display.

What Owners Say

Apple CarPlay

"I have a hard time, knowing why music and navigation are sometimes unavailable and believe that the voice message may just need to tell me that Apple CarPlay is not connected, but it doesnt explain a potentially easy fix."

Anonymous, CA (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)

""No longer connects wirelessly, only plugged in""

Anonymous, AZ (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)
Phone pairing (e.g., Bluetooth)

""After an iphone ios update on one phone, the carplay navigation system stopped working, despite numerous attempts to connect and reconnect. It worked fine on another phone""

Anonymous, CA (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro Electric)
Steering wheel controls

"Haptic control buttons are too sensitive. You can easily resume cruise control accidentally causing a collision. Will not use this safety feature that I really like."

Anonymous, AZ (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)

What Owners Say

12V battery

"Battery does not have the capacity we were expecting and the range is much more limited than advertised for this model."

Anonymous, CO (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)

""12v battery stopped working, car was dead, had to have towed in and dealer could not figure out what happened, reset it somehow and been ok since.""

Anonymous, FL (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)
Keyless entry

"Doors often dont unlock either with proximity or with the key fob button from outside. From inside, sometimes it takes several tries to open the doors. Often it takes the emergency release (pull harder to activate the mechanical release) to get the door to open. There was a recall but didnt have the hardware forever. Unsure if my wife got it fixed but its still doing this."

Anonymous, TX (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro Electric)

EV Battery

Electric/hybrid battery pack failure, replacement or malfunction, or cooling.

What Owners Say

Anonymous A., MA (2022 Volkswagen ID4 Pro S Electric)

EV Charging

Won't charge at home; won't work with some public chargers; won't fully charge; charge connection; charge port door.

What Owners Say

Charges too slowly

""The mileage range on a charge is not nearly as much as we expected it to be (especially in the winter). Also, the duration it takes to charge it back to 85% or whatever is longer than we anticipated. Took this car on a roadtrip last summer and spent a lot of time waiting around at charging stations because of this issue.""
