Narrative

The contact owns a 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz. The contact stated that while the daughter was turning right onto a curb to park and lifting her foot off the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and crashed into the rear of another parked Honda vehicle, pushing the Honda vehicle approximately eight feet during the impact. During the crash, the vehicle experienced severe front-end damage, but the air bags did not deploy. The collision avoidance also did not engage. The contact zip-tied the grill onto the vehicle in order to replicate the failure the next day. No injuries were reported, and a police report was filed online. The contact indicated that the touch buttons on the steering wheel were easily activated and sensitive to touch, which may have caused the vehicle to erroneously accelerate. The local dealer was notified of the failure and offered to look into a resolution. In addition, the dealer mentioned that in similar cases, vehicles were bought back. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 100.
