2025 Volkswagen Id. Buzz

Twice now, my center touch screen display has failed to operate upon startup. Restarting the vehicle does not fix the problem.The problem is not able to be replicated for the dealer as it happens at random(twice over 13,000 miles). No warnings predicated the error, nor would they be displayable since the screen is off. The vehicle is able to be driven under the error. The backup camera is not usable under the error making for a very dangerous error. The voice assistant does not function under the error(a potential alternative method of accessing the controls that are lost when the screen is in error). Under the second error event, the driver display additionally did not turn on. The vehicle would allow me to drive but did not display speed, gear selection, miles, or any warnings. Drive, Reverse, Park, turn signals, horn, all lighting, regenerative braking and windshield wipers were tested and were functional. All HVAC controls are only accessible through the screen. Under the second error event it was raining and I was unable access those controls to defrost the front windshield. After the vehicle sits in the off position for 30 minutes, the error vanishes.

My 2025 Volkswagen ID.Buzz is subject to recall 90A2 (NHTSA Campaign 25V233000) concerning an incorrect brake system warning light symbol and color on the instrument panel display. The prescribed remedy is a software update performed by an authorized VW dealer. The vehicle has been at Gunther Volkswagen of Clermont on two separate occasions for this recall and has not been successfully remediated either time. First visit: dropped off April 17, 2026, picked up April 18, 2026 -- update failed. Second visit: dropped off April 20, 2026 and the vehicle remains at the dealer as of today, April 28, 2026 -- now 10 cumulative days out of service across both visits. During the second visit, the dealer attempted a CAN Bus Sleep procedure as a troubleshooting step, but the software update continued to fail at a specific step in the process. The dealer has confirmed the failure and is in contact with VW ODIS Support. This appears to be a systemic issue with VW's software update infrastructure affecting multiple ID.Buzz owners, not an isolated vehicle defect. When I contacted VW Customer Care directly, they declined to intervene, citing dealer independence. The vehicle is otherwise drivable but remains out of my possession while the dealer attempts to complete a federally mandated recall repair.

Was driving out of a parking lot. I was in a full stop and had the car in drive. When staring to move from a full stop the car started to go in reverse. I was on a decline. I tried reassuring the car was in drive and when pressing the peddle it went backward. The d light was on but going in reverse when the pedal was pressed. Had to put the car in park and again in drive to get out of this bug.

I am writing to express my concern regarding the car manual provided for my Volkswagen. The current manual is abridged, which makes it challenging to understand all of the car's functions. This lack of comprehensive instructions can be particularly difficult and unsafe, especially when attempting to operate certain features while driving. A fully unabridged manual would greatly assist in understanding how to properly use all functions of the car.
