Owner complaint summary

ID.4 2024 Pro AWD (Canada) Cannot connect to CARNET (Since June 16 2024, for past 5 days), vehicle breaks suddenly on highway. Dash displays approaching intersection but there's no intersection. Traumatizing experience. 1. Vehicle was connected to Google map, but VW insists on trusting their own navigation system (even though it's not working). 2. No way for user to connect the car's network to be "online" using personal cellphone data. (Forcing user to buy CARNET package, otherwise safety is not guaranteed) 3. For a 2024 EV, vehicle should at least design safety measure for such scenario. If the driver's hands are detected on the steering wheel, and ACC is ON. The car will NOT auto break during intersection. (It doesn't break BEFORE the intersection any way!!!) In uploaded picture taken in an intersection. Connected to google map, but vehicle dashboard displays current road is 100 KM/H zone. (It's a 50KM/H zone). Driver safety cannot be promised!!!!
