I was driving my 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 when, seemingly out of nowhere, my driver-side door made several unusual clicking noises and then popped open. “That’s not good,” I thought, as I quickly shut the door while also attempting to keep my hands on the wheel.

Volkswagen announced it will temporarily suspend production of the ID.4 at its Chattanooga plant following a nationwide recall that affects Chattanooga workers.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that Volkswagen is recalling nearly 99,000 electric crossover SUVs because the doors could open unexpectedly.
