Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
I purchased this 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, and the electrical issues began almost immediately after taking ownership. While driving, the main infotainment display will suddenly reset, freeze, or go completely blank. Sometimes the instrument cluster also flickers or freezes during these events. At the same time, I received a “12V battery limited, please drive with care” warning. When the center screen resets while the vehicle is in motion, I temporarily lose access to important driving information such as the backup camera, vehicle status, sound alerts, and sometimes the speedometer. These failures create a safety concern because they remove visibility of warning indicators and essential driving data. The 12-volt system warnings also raise concern that the vehicle may lose power to critical control modules or experience a sudden electrical shutdown. The issues are intermittent but recurring, and started immediately after purchasing the vehicle CPO, which suggests the defect existed before I acquired the car. This appears consistent with other reported electrical and 12-volt system failures on the ID.4. I am reporting this because I believe the issue may be part of a broader safety defect involving the vehicle’s low-voltage electrical system, displays, or charging circuitry.
My screen frozed while I was driving to the point that I was not able to know how fast I was driving. My backup camera also did not displayed on the screen. I sent videos to [XXX]. The tire pressure stated that tire has a normal pressure but I had a flat tire. Tire pressure sensors are not reading the tire pressure. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The vehicle displays including back up cameras and speed display failed to start with the car. I was able to move the car under power and believe I could have operated the vehicle at speed. I decided that it was unsafe to operate a vehicle without speed information and left the vehicle for approximately 10 hours. When I returned it was functioning again.
I have been leasing vehicles from VW since 2009, I leased every model they have from cars to SUVs. This is my first time leasing their first electric vehicle, ID.4. Since leasing this vehicle, we've faced multiple issues. First time was the second day after I leased it, the air conditioning wasn’t working at all. This issue was repaired. Then all sort of electrical problems started occurring when braking, including the back window lowering itself, the radio turning on and off by itself, interior lights flickering, the backup camera failing, and rear sensors not working. Additionally, the brakes have twice failed to respond properly, requiring multiple pumps to stop. Despite reporting these problems to the dealership and having inspections performed, no resolution has been found. Also 2 days ago, the rear tire unexpectedly blew out while driving, potentially due to a magnetic field beneath the vehicle pulling metal debris from the road, which may have caused a sidewall puncture. This incident occurred at just 3,221 miles of tire usage. Although it is a known issue, the dealership made me pay to replace the tire, which cost $546. Additionally, a recent safety recall about doors unexpectedly opening while driving greatly adds to all safety concerns mentioned above. These compounded issues make this vehicle very unsafe, and I’m deeply anxious about driving it, and very concerned for my safety and that of others on the road. I urge immediate resolution to these safety and potentially dangerous problems.
