iD4 list of reported failures I found

I'm interested in buying a used 2023 iD4 and have been doing some research on failure points I've seen posted on Reddit and other forums. Since I'm not an owner I'd appreciate if others could chime in if I missed something. Hopefully it can be a useful list to others looking to buy one in the future too.

  1. Charge Port Lock Actuator Failure

The motorized actuator that locks and unlocks the charging port flap can fail. This leaves the charge door permanently stuck open or locked closed.

  1. Infotainment Hardware Failures

MIB3 computer unit can cause screens to go completely black, fail to boot, or crash mid-drive.

  1. LED Headlight Burnout

Heat generated by the LEDs can melt or yellow the internal plastic light bar, eventually leading to a complete bulb or circuit failure.

  1. Premature Sway Bar / Suspension Wear

Plastic sway bar links wear out causing a loud, metallic clunking or knocking noise over speed bumps.

  1. Glitched Windows and Regulator FailuresR

When rolling the driver or passenger window up, the window will suddenly reverse and roll all the way down.

  1. Inaccurate GPS location

Issues with the communication module can cause the car to report inaccurate GPS location, sometimes as far as 150 miles away impacting navigation.
