VOLKSWAGEN ID. BUZZ

Our man has been spooked by some ghostly goings-on in stylish MPV
CAN a car be haunted? I'm not talking about some dilapidated wreck that's been languishing in the outbuilding of an abandoned stately home for 50 years, hiding the kind of horrifying past that no online history check will ever show up. This is a showroom-fresh Volkswagen ID. Buzz.
You'd think the answer would be 'no'. And yet, there have been some strange goings on of late. In the dead of night - sometimes in broad daylight, too, but that doesn’t really fit the narrative - the ID. Buzz started opening its own door for no apparent earthly reason.
The passenger-side sliding door was always the culprit. It’s electrically powered, so it can be opened from the key fob or a button inside the car, but it started opening itself at apparently random moments while the car was locked - and always when it was charging.
