In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 1.3 yr in service
UNKNOWN - My ID4 stalled with ALL errors appearing today (2nd time in 2 days). I was rolling to a stop at a light, around 10mph. The car errored out suddenly and I was stuck. The car could not move for 1-2 minutes. I had to attempt to turn on/off multiple times, put it into park then drive and park and drive until it would start moving again. I was lucky this happen at a stop light otherwise I would have been rear ended on the freeway, which cause extreme harm. The dealer checked the 12v and said it was fine. They do not have an appointment for another two months.
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.6 yr in service
All dash screens and middle infotainment screen went black. Drive/reverse/neutral indicator remained lit. All instrumentation was gone, no speed, Backup camera or odometer. The problem has not recurred or been reproduced. No warnings were given.
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.6 yr in service
My instrument cluster and infotainment system went black while driving. This means that I had no access to my speedometer, which I believe is a safety issue. Additionally, I had no access to my range estimate or any other vehicle information. No backup camera, no lane assist, etc.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 1.3 yr in service
Approaching traffic stopped. The VW slows down as the car in front of it. If the car immediatly in front changes lanes (gets out of the way) the VW engages in high acceleration despite the fact that the next vehicle in front (already seen by the system) is totally stopped with stop lights on and the traffic light is red.
