Owner complaint summary

We've taken the ID.4 in to the dealership three times for repairs. They have not been able to resolve it and have more or less said that it is a manufacturer defect. * The car does not connect to the internet. * The driver's console continues to go blank, very often loses all safety features, and generally acts oddly. We've realized that this mostly happens when the car travels over slight bumps or vibrations, which is basically every time we drive it. Warning signs on the driver's console will show loss of main safety features like Rear Traffic Alerts, Lane Assist, and Cruise Control. * The main driver console often goes blank. It recently blanked out for twenty to thirty minutes while driving on the freeway, making it impossible to know how fast I was going. This also happened in a school zone where children were present. * The back over camera often goes blank. There are children in our neighborhood and this makes backing out of our driveway unsafe. I've supplied Volkswagen with multiple videos of these occurrences, including to vwcustomercare@vw.com and safety@vw.com, and they have not resolved the issue.
