2019 Volkswagen Jetta Complaint Log

I WAS WAITING FOR A PARKING SPACE AND WAS PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE TO GIVE MORE ROOM FOR THE PERSON TO BACK UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I AGAIN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, RESTARTED THE CAR PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WENT IN REVERSE..THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. THE OTHER INCIDENT WAS I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE BRAKES JAMMED ON..I CHECKED FOR VEHICLES/PEOPLE PRIOR TO BACKING UP AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES/PEDESTRIANS PRESENT BUT THE BRAKES ENGAGED ANYWAY. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS TRAVELING AT 40 MPH AND THE BRAKES JAMMED ON AGAIN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS "PHANTOM" BRAKING" BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHY AND AS FAR AS THE VEHICLE NOT MOVING, JUST SHUTTING DOWN THEY SAID THAT THEY RECEIVED AN EMAIL SAYING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER CHIP AND I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR THE OUTCOME.

EVERY SENSE I BOUGHT MY JETTA OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT STALLS OUT WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP AND WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE RPMS WILL GO UP BUT THEN DROP IMMEDIATELY. IT'S HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES. I'VE CALLED MY LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY OTHER ISSUES LIKE THIS. IT STALLED OUT TWICE ON MY WHEN DRIVING HOME THE OTHER NIGHT IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES TO THE POINT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE WITH MY NEPHEWS IN THE CAR. WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH AND THE RPMS WITH SHOOT UP AND THEN STALL OUT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I GIVE IT MORE THROTTLE OR NOT. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I'M STARTING FROM A START AT LOW SPEED. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY ON CITY STREET. HAS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC.

INTERIOR AMBIENT LIGHTING ISSUE ON 2019 JETTA GLI AUTOBAHN: THE AMBIENT LIGHTS INCONSISTENTLY LIGHT UP DURING SOME STARTS. IN SOME CASES, NONE COME ON. IN OTHER CASES, SOME # OF THE 6 ZONES WILL COME ON. ATTACHED ARE PICS WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE PANEL AND CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTING ZONES ARE OFF WHILE ALL OTHERS ARE LIT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE WITHOUT ANY RESOLUTION. THE FIRST TIME ONE LED WAS OUT (IN FRONT OF THE SHIFTER). AT 4K MILES, LED LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OUT. OTHER THAN THAT, THE INCONSISTENT LIGHTING IS STILL OCCURRING SPORADICALLY, AND THE DEALER STATES THERE ARE NO FAULTS DETECTED, SO NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

I PURCHASED A 2019 VW JETTA SE AUTOMATIC WITH 38 MILES ON OCTOBER 11, 2019 ONE MONTH LATER AS I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY TO WORKING HEARD AND FELT A GRINDING, SOUNDING LIKE IT CARNE FROM THE ENGINE. I DIDN'T WANT TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS SO I CONTINUED DRIVING BUT IT SOUNDS A BIT LOUDER SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME 4 DAYS LATER THE SOUND IS NORMAL. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE THOUGH. I READ UP ON THIS AND THERE'S A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR SIMILAR ISSUE. NOW I'M AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY. I TRADED IN MY CHEVY TAHOE AND THAT WAS A GREAT VEHICLE. I HAVE A WARRANTY AND I JUST WANT IT FIXED. FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING THE BRUSH OFF.

2019 VW JETTA GTI AUTOBAHN MANUAL TRANSMISSION STALLS OR LOSES ENGINE POWER RANDOMLY. FOR ME, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN 5TH OR 6TH GEAR WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND COASTING, THE CAR WILL CHOKE AND FEELS AS THOUGH FUEL IS CUTOFF AND THE ENGINE CANNOT GENERATE POWER. THIS IS TEMPORARY, AND SHIFTING AGAIN AND GIVING A LITTLE GAS EVENTUALLY THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, I'M CONCERNED SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING AND MORE IMPORTANTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AS IT'S SUDDEN AND EXPECTED.

GEAR OIL LEAKING BETWEEN VAQ DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSMISSION. VW DEALERSHIP ALREADY REPLACED SEALS UNDER WARRANTY. DIFFERENTIAL IS STILL LEAKING GEAR OIL.

THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25-40 MPH AND IT CHANGES GEAR. IT DOES IT IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY.

2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GRINDING NOISE WHILE CHANGING GEARS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO THE DEALER WHO WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE CONSUMER GOT A SECOND OPINION, WHO ADVISED THERE MAY BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. *JS

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS STALLS. I'VE HAD THE CAR 6 DAYS AND IT'S DONE IT FOUR TIMES. THREE WHEN STOPPED OR GOING 5MPH OR LESS ON HIGHWAYY OFF RAMPS. ONCE WHEN GOING ABOUT 20MPH IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS A MANUAL AND ALL TIMES THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY DEPRESSED.

2019 JETTA S WITH 1.4L ENGINE AND 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, GRINDING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4TH TO 5TH UNDER LIGHT LOAD. NOISE IS AUDIBLE IN ALL DRIVE MODES BUT ESPECIALLY IN ECO OR NORMAL DRIVE MODES. DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THAT NO FURTHER SERVICE WAS NEEDED. THIS NOISE DOES NOT SOUND SAFE OR HEALTHY FOR THE CAR OR FOR THE OCCUPANTS WITHIN THE CAR. VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTERS BEFORE THEY DAMAGE CARS OR HURT SOMEONE.

ON 10/18//19 I PURCHASED A VOLKSWAGEN JETTA S. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE AT ACCELERATION SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 20-35 MPH. IN 10/21/2019 I TOOK THE JETTA TO ROYAL AUTOMOTIVE IN BIRMINGHAM AL. AND AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR THE MECHANIC (JAMEY MCELROY) INFORMED ME THIS WAS A NORMAL SOUND AND WAS RELATED TO THE AIR INTAKE. THE SCOPE OF WORK SAID THEY DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE AND I MADE THEM CHANGE THE WORDING AS JAMEY SAID THEY DID HEAR THE NOISE. I FELT THEY WERE COVERING UP THE TRUTH BY MAKING THE PAPERWORK SAY THE NOISE DIDN'T EXIST. PLEASE HOLD VOLKSWAGEN ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THEM FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER JETTA OWNERS COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND VOLKSWAGEN IS TURNING A BLIND EYE TO ANY REPAIRS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

IVE HAD THE CAR ABOUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS. THE KEY STRUGGLES TO TURN WHEN IN THE IGNITION, EVEN WHEN I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. SOMETIMES IT TURNS ON JUST FINE AND SOMETIMES THE KEY ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO TURN WHEN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. ITS AS IF IM PUTTING THE WRONG KEY IN THERE BUT I ONLY HAVE ONE VW SO THIS IS FOR SURE THE RIGHT KEY. THE CAR SQUEAKS EXTREMELY LOUD. ITS A REALLY LOUD SCREECHING SOUND AND IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I REVERSE. BOTH THINGS ONLY HAPPEN EVERY ONE OUT OF 10 TIMES OR SO.

LOUD GRINDING NOISES FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND A LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TO 35 MPH. AT HIGHER THAN 50 MPH I CAN FEEL SOMETHING RATTLING/VIBRATING IN THE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WON'T EVEN POP THE HOOD BEFORE TELLING ME IT'S NORMAL. ALSO IT WILL NOT STAY IN ECO MODE. I BELIEVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSES IT TO SWITCH OUT OF ECO MODE BUT THE BUTTON STILL SAYS IT'S IN ECO MODE. THE DISPLAY HOWEVER SAYS IT'S IN DRIVE MODE.

VIBRATION AND GRINDING NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS. STARTED AROUND 200-300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ORIGINALLY ONLY OCCURRED IN ECO MODE NOW HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER AND MORE SEVERE OVER THE LAST 4-5 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NORMAL BUT IT SOUNDS AND FEELS TERRIBLE. THE CAR FEELS VERY UNSAFE. SOMETIMES IT ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY AND OTHER TIMES I BARELY PRESS THE PEDAL AND IT TAKES OFF AND THE TIRES SPIN. WHEN DRIVING IN ECO MODE THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SEEMS TO FORGET AND SWITCHES BACK INTO REGULAR DRIVE MODE BUT THE ECO MODE BUTTON WILL STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH THE DASH DISPLAY SAYS IT IS IN DRIVE. AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE GRINDING BECOMES MORE OF A LOW GROWL OR SCRAPE AND ALSO VIBRATES MUCH MORE ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING OR ACCELERATING. WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR TO LEAVE HOME OR LEAVE WORK MY BRAKES SCREECH THE FIRST 3-4 TIMES I APPLY THEM. IT'S SO LOUD THAT MY NEIGHBORS HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES. NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF DRIVING I DO OR WHERE IT IS THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSAFE AND MAKES LOUD GRINDING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING OR CRUISING.

2019 JETTA SE PURCHASE DATE 9/28/19, LOUD RATTLE/VIBRATION/ SHUDDER UNDERCAR DRIVERS SIDE, ALWAYS THERE ON LIGHT LOAD ACCELERATION 1600-1800 RPM. CAR SHUDDERS UNDER LOAD 30-40 MPH, ACCELERATION DIMINISHED TO LIMP APPROX 5 SECONDS, ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING, NO STALL BUT FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS READY TO STALL. INQUIRED WITH DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, HAS NEVER HEARD OF THESE CONCERNS. CAR FEELS UNSAFE WITH POTENTIAL TO STALL ON ACCELERATION, DRIVELINE HAS LOUD RUMBLE AND SHUDDER, WORSENING DAILY, TODAYS MILEAGE 590. CONDITIONS ARE WHEN RUNNING AND UNDER LIGHT LOAD AND HIGHWAY MERGING ACCELERATION. CAR DOES NOT MERGE WELL DUE TO REDUCED POWER THAT FEELS PROPORTIONAL AND DUE TO UNDER CAR SHUDDER.

THE CAR IS MAKING A GROWLING SOUND WHEN GOING LOW RATE SPEEDS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

2019 JETTA GLI WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES EQUIPPED WITH THE DSG (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSION - ENGINE STALLS OUT AS SOON AS THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE REACHES 0MPH - WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY (BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC), STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, STOPPED AT STOP SIGNS, OR CHANGING GEAR TO REVERSE IN PARKING LOT OR STREET TO GET IN DRIVEWAY. THE STALLING HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE "AUTO STOP START" FEATURE BEING DISABLED OR ENABLED, AND HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY THREE OR MORE COMPLETE STOPS BUT USUALLY NOT FOR THE FIRST 3 WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST TURNED ON. THE CAR ALSO MAKES AN AUDIBLE GRINDING SOUND WHEN ENGINE STALLS. IN ALL INSTANCES ONCE THE CAR HAS STALLED IT REQUIRES A MANUAL RESTART BY PUTTING THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK, AND PRESSING THE VEHICLE START BUTTON WITH BRAKE DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE STALLING, THE CAR HAS ONCE TURNED OFF WHEN STARTED REMOTELY AND NO PASSENGERS INSIDE. I HAVE APPROACHED THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS AFTER REMOTE START WAS ENGAGED, OPENED THE TRUCK, LOADED A FEW ITEMS, AND CAR TURNED OFF. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. USING A VAG505 SCANNER I WAS ABLE TO FIND 01-ENGINE FAULT CODE 15080 AND 08-AUTO HVAC FAULT CODE 1048838. VIDEOS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES HAVE BEEN UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE AND CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE VIA REQUEST.

I'M REPORTING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE 2019 JETTA. WE TRADED IN OUR 2016 JETTA WHICH HAD A COMPLETE INFOTAINMENT VOICE ACTIVATED SYSTEM. I'D SAY "PLAY JETHRO TULL" AND THE VOICE ACTIVATION WOULD PLAY JETHRO TULL SONGS. MY EYES REMAINING ON THE ROAD. OUR 2019 JETTA DOES NOT HAVE VOICE ACTIVATION FOR MUSIC, JUST FOR THE HANDS FREE PHONE. SO, I MUST TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD AND SCROLL THROUGH THE DOZENS OF FOLDERS ON THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN TO ACCESS THE FOLDER WHICH HAS THE SONG I WANT TO HEAR. I CAN SCROLL THROUGH THE FOLDER FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET TO THE SONG. THE 32 GIGABYTE FLASH DRIVE HAS SEVERAL THOUSAND SONGS AND DOZENS OF FOLDERS. SO IT'S A BIG DISTRACTION TO SCROLL THROUGH THE FOLDERS WITH MY EYES ON THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN INSTEAD OF THE ROAD. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD VW TAKE THE VOICE RECOGNITION FOR MUSIC AWAY, AND CREATE SUCH A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION?

THE WIPERS SCREECH WHEN OPERATING HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY WRONG GEAR IS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SOMETIMES SLIGHT METAL GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED (CAN ONLY HE HEARD FROM THE OUTSIDE). ENGINE HAS SOFT HISSING NOISE AND SHAKES A LITTLE WHEN THE RUNNING COLD (CAN BE ONLY HEARD FROM OUTSIDE) . THE DEALERSHIP HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. CAR SHAKES WHEN REVERSING WITH GAS.

WHEN VEHICLE REACHES 30-40MPH, THERE IS A LOUD RATTLE SOUND ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SOUNDS AS IF PIPES ARE LOOSE UNDER THE HOOD OR UNDER THE CAR. THE RATTLE SOUND HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED. THE SOUND IS REDUCED WHEN IN SPORT MODE AND DOES NOT MAKE RATTLE FROM 0 TO 30-40MPH, BUT DOES MAKE THE RATTLE SOUND DURING ACCELERATION. DURING MY RESEARCH I'VE NOTICED THERE ARE A TON OF MY SAME MODEL VEHICLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWO WEEKS AFTER MY PURCHASE TO HAVE IF CHECKED OUT, THE MECHANIC BRUSHED ME OFF AND SAID IT WAS NORMAL. MY BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD NOT SHOULD LIKE PIPES ARE LOOSE AND RATTLE DURING ACCELERATION. ITS REALLY EMBARRASSING AND I HOPE THIS DOES NOT CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

I PURCHASED MY VW JETTA AUTOBAHN EDITION 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION (BUILD DATE OF 07/19) ON 10/06/2019. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH UNDER 10 MILES ON IT AND SINCE DAY 1 WHEN I DROVE IT HOME, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE STALLING IN LOW SPEEDS. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AS I SLOW TO A STOP AND HAPPENS WITH OR WITHOUT THE CLUTCH ENGAGED AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. ALL OF THE STALLS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IN THE AFTERNOONS MAINLY AND ONLY AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10+ MILES BUT ONCE THE FIRST STALL OCCURS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AGAIN WITHIN 1-2 MILES THEREAFTER. ON A SINGLE DRIVE, IT HAS STALLED UP TO 5-6 TIMES. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING INCORRECT GEAR INDICATOR. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I AM IN 3RD GEAR, THE VEHICLE REGISTERS THAT I AM IN 5TH GEAR AND VICE VERSA. MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 2K MILES AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER I DEALT WITH MENTIONED THAT HE, PERSONALLY, HAS WORKED WITH 2 CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE PRESENTED THE SAME PROBLEM. 1 CUSTOMER HAD HIS VEHICLE "BOUGHT BACK" AND THE OTHER, WHICH WAS A MONTH AGO, HAD HIS "THROTTLE VALVE" REPLACED AND HAS NOT HAD THE PROBLEM RETURN. I HAVE VIDEO OF INSTANCES TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM, HOWEVER THE FILE SIZE IS TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. *TR

GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AT 1200 -1400 RPM. HAPPENS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND THROUGH 4TH GEAR.

2019 JETTA SE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED MY JETTA IN JANUARY 2019 IT SEEMS LIKE MY CAR HAS A SERIOUS LAG. I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND AS I WAS ACCELERATING OUT OF THE TURN THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEN IT SHOT OFF.. I NOTICED THAT IT DOES IT WHEN I SLOW DOWN ALSO IT HAVE VERY SLOW RESPONSE TIME WITH THE ACCELERATION. IT DOESN'T IT EVERY SO OFTEN. MAYBE ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK ALSO WHEN THE 'AUTO ENGINE TURN OFF' IS ENGAGED THE CAR LAGS AND SOMETIMBES DOESN'T WANT TO GO.. SOMETIME I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. OR SHIFT IT OUT AND BACK INTO GEARS AT RED LIGHTS OR DRIVE THROUGH I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAVANNAH VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND A ISSUE OR A FIX. I HONESTLY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.. ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS

ON 9/26/2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 JETTA SE WITH 1,187.8 MILES ON MAIN STREET IN SANTA ANA AROUND 5:50 PM. I WAS ON THE FAR LEFT LANE AT A FULL STOP AND PROCEEDED AT LOW SPEEDS ONTO THE LEFT-TURNING LANE. AS I CONTINUED TO PULL UP ONTO THE LEFT-TURNING A LANE A VERY LOUD METALLIC RATTLING/SCRAPING NOISE WAS HEARD THROUGHOUT THE CABIN COMING FROM I SUSPECT THE TRANSMISSION. I EVEN WAS ABLE TO FEEL THE RATTLING FROM THE BRAKE PEDDLE AS I STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE PEDDLE. I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF ANY OTHER DRIVERS NOTICED AS IT WAS VERY LOUD. I MADE AN EFFORT TO CHECK ON THE ROAD TO CONFIRM THAT THERE WAS NO METALLIC DEBRIS THAT I MAY HAVE RUN OVER. NONE WAS FOUND. I ALSO CHECKED UNDER MY CAR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS UNDER THE ENGINE AND CAN CONFIRM NOTHING WAS FOUND. THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE, WHEN THE CAR WOULD HIT BETWEEN 1300-1500 RPMS OR 25-35 MPH, A VERY DISTINCT SCRAPING NOISE CAN BE HEARD FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND CONTINUES TO OMIT THAT SAME DISTINCT SOUND EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND GOING FROM 25-35 MPH. IT IS HEARD EVEN CLEARER WHILE ON ECO MODE.

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED, PLACED BACK INTO NEUTRAL, WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE STALLING HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 15-30 MINUTES. STALL OCCURS WHIL ROLLING TO A STOP

MY CAR IS 2 WEEKS OLD WITH 400 MILES ON THE CAR. SINCE THE ODOMETER HAD APROX 100 MILES ON IT THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING A ISSUE WITH STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS STALLED APROX 26 TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED 3 TIMES IN A 15 MILE DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AS TO WHEN IT WILL DECIDE TO STALL BUT BECOMES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN COMMUTING ON THE FREEWAY AND IT DECIDES TO STALL. THE CAR IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTO START STOP FUNCTION BUT STALLS OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE MY FAMILY OR ANYONE RIDE IN AS YOU DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL FAIL AND PUT YOU AT RISK OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE STALLING OR ENGINE FAILURES AT ANY POINT LET ALONE HAVING OVER 20 IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD. THE CAR IS AT VW BEING EVALUATED BUT I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE OR SAFE KNOWING THIS SITUATION IS HAPPENING.

THE CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESED TO THE FLOOR AND IN NEUTRAL OR SHIFTING FROM SECOND OR THIRD TO NEUTRAL WHILE COMING TO A STOP.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS UP. SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY WHEN STARTING THE CAR, OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. AT TIMES WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON DURING STARTUP IT STAYS ON FOR QUITE A WHILE (MANY MILES) IT MAY THEN GO OFF OR NOT. ALSO, WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT MOVES ON THE SEAT THE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT GO OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO A VW DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND TOLD ME "WELL, THE SEABELT WORKS, DOESN'T IT?"

2019 JETTA GLI 6MT. CAR WILL STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN FIRST, SECOND, AND NEUTRAL. WHEN IN NEUTRAL, CLUTCH CAN BE EITHER IN OR OUT TO REPLICATE ISSUE. HAS HAPPENED WHEN COASTING TO A STOP AT <10 MPH, AS WELL AS WHEN AT A STOP. TYPICALLY TAKES 2-5 SECONDS FOR CAR TO SHUT DOWN. CAR CURRENTLY HAS ~600 MILES ON IT, HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR DELIVERED (TOOK DELIVERY AT 300 MILES DUE TO DEALERSHIP DELIVERING CAR TO MY HOUSE).

CAR WILL STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHILE IN MANUAL MODE OF DSG TRANSMISSION, WITH START/STOP DEACTIVATED. DRIVER IS PLACED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION, MUST PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART VEHICLE.

I JUST HAD MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS, THIS CAN'T HAPPEN TO ME, NOT AGAIN... THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS WHEN SLOWING DOWN. I CAN FEEL A SMALL JUMP WHEN DRIVING. IT'S LIKE A SMALL RESISTANCE AND THEN IT JUST LETS GO AND JUMPS. IT ONLY HAS 15K MILES AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY OR REPAIR A BRAND NEW CAR!, THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ON A BRAND NEW CAR!

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE TWO WEEKS. THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE ENTIRE TIME AND THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE MANUALLY STARTED AGAIN.

2019 VW GLI MANUAL TRANSMISSION STALLS UNPREDICTABLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND/OR THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY, BUT UNPREDICTABLY. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY RESULTED IN HORN BLOWING FROM THE CAR BEHIND, BUT IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC IT WOULD BE VERY BAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL FOR 44 YEARS - IT IS NOT OPERATOR ERROR. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS ODI DP 19-003. STARTED AT VERY LOW MILES, HAPPENED MOST RECENTLY AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND THE CLUTCH ALL THE WAY OUT. SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING FOR A WHILE AND GETS HOT. VEHICLE IS AT 2460 MILES AND DID IT OFF AND ON SINCE 32 MILES.

CAR CONSTISTENTLY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WILL STALL EVEN IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. WILL DRIVE FINE SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL 15+ TIMES IN A SINGLE TRIP. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN TRYING TO TURN IN AN INTERSECTION MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. STARTED AROUND 1,200 MILES ON THE CAR AND HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE VW AND MY NEW (2019) VW JETTA 1.4T SEL. I PURCHASED IT IN 2018 AND IT'S CURRENTLY GOT JUST OVER 13K MILES ON IT. MY DAD DROVE IT THE OTHER DAY AND ASKED ME WHAT THE "GROWLING" NOISE WAS COMING WHEN HE ACCELERATED UNDER LOW POWER/ LIGHT LOAD (SWEET SPOT HAPPENING ABOUT 28-33 MPH). I NOTICED IT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT FIGURED IT WAS NORMAL. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE, I SEE THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TOO. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS REALLY A PROBLEM THAT MIGHT GET WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME ACCELERATION HAPPENS. I REALLY DO LOVE THIS CAR!

MY CAR LOST OIL EVERY 7K MILE ,I BOUGHT FOR BRAND NEW , I WENT IN DEALERSHIP MAMY MANY TIME AND THEY INSPECTED MY CAR AND RESULTS ARE WE CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEMS TO MANY CARS VW 2019 HAS THIS PROBLEM SO MY CAR LOST 500GR ON 1000 K MILE , THEY JUST REFILL OIL , I NEVER HEART THAT TO PUT OIL ON TOP DOEST SINCE. I HAVE PAPER AND EVERYTHING BUT NO BODY CARE

I OWN A 2019 MANUAL JETTA GLI 35 ANNIVERSARY. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN ETC.. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT SLOW SPEEDS. CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH START/STOP FEATURE DUE TO HAVIING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TO START CAR BACK UP BEFORE TAKING BACK OFF FROM LIGHT. MAJOR RISK OF ME GETTING REAR ENDED AT A STOP LIGHT AND OR STOP SIGN. APPARENTLY VOLKSWAGEN CANNOT FIGURE OUT ISSUE. HAVE SEEN 100'S OF PEOPLE WITH BRAND NEW VW'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: 2019 VW JETTA GLI STALLS AND TURNS OFF WHILE IN NEUTRAL WHILE STATIONARY, AS WELL AS IN GEAR AND IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND IN PARKING LOTS, PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. UNSURE OF ISSUE, BUT DOCUMENTED WITH VIDEO FOOTAGE. NO ENGINE LIGHTS APPEARED. THIS HAPPENED 20 OR MORE TIMES YESTERDAY, AND ONE TIME 2 WEEKS AGO.

BRAND NEW 2019 JETTA SEL MAKES A GRINDING NOISE ALONG THE POWER TRAIN (UNDERNEATH THE CAR). IT DOES NOT SOUND SAFE NOR CAN IT BE GOOD LONG TERM. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL IS GRINDING ON METAL WHEN ACCELERATING. IT IS PARTICULARLY LOUD WHEN IN ECO MODE.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT AFTER STARTING OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE RPMS COME DOWN

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SE ONE WEEK AGO FROM OURISMAN VOLKSWAGEN OF LAUREL IN LAUREL, MARYLAND. I HAVE NOTICED A GRINDING/SCRATCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR WHEN DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, REGARDLESS OF HOW EASY OR HARD I GO ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS HAPPENS ON FREEWAYS AND SMALL ROADS. I STARTED NOTICING THESE ISSUES EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAD UNDER 100 MILES ON IT, AND I STILL ONLY HAVE AROUND 500 MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE END OF MY WORK WEEK WHEN I HAVE TIME. HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I'VE READ, VW IS REFUSING MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE HELP AND DOESN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM TO THEM, CLAIMING THAT THE NOISE IS "NORMAL." HOWEVER, THERE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE VOLKSWAGEN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SHOW THEM ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT ISN'T NORMAL. IT IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY ARE SELLING BRAND NEW CARS TO CONSUMERS WITH THESE VITAL ISSUES THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADDRESS. THIS IS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS. I AM STILL BAFFLED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ENDLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YET THE NHTSA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING YET.

I'M HAVING AN ISSUE, THE CAR HAS COMPETENTLY DIED ABOUT 6 TIMES. I'M IN TRAFFIC OR COME TO A STOP AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THEN WHEN I LET OFF ON THE BRAKE IT'S COMPLETELY DEAD. IT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE PLEASE START CAR MANUALLY. ONCE I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR SURGED UP AND DOWN, PUTTERING LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS.

WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT OR ABOUT 20 MPH, MY PARK BRAKE COMES ON AND MY VW COMES TO A DEAD STOP AND ALMOST ALWAYS GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. CARS BEHIND ME GET MAD AND START HONKING. IT'S HAPPEN TO 3 TIMES NOW AND ONCE TO THE MECHANIC THAT STATED IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. I AM A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER OF 40 YEARS AND CAN HANDLE THE UNEXPECTED FOR THE MOST PART BUT MY WIFE WHOM COMMUTES 60 MILES DAILY ON A CRAZY FREEWAY TO WORK HAS BEEN FOR FORTUNATE THAT IT'S NOT HAPPEN TO HER YET. I FINALLY COULDN'T KEEP IT TO MYSELF ANYMORE AND AFTER TELLING HER MY EXPERIENCES, SHE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE TILL TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BRAND WITH ONLY 10 MILES ON IT (2019VW) WITH A REBUILT TITLE WITH NO MFG WARR. BUT I PURCHASED AFTER MARKET WARRANTY 7YR. 100,000 FOR $4,000.)...I CONTACTED THE CAR DEALER AND MY WARRANTY AND BOTH SAID I BOUGHT CAR AS IS AND BASICALLY SHOW CONCERN THAT WE COULD GET OUR SELF'S KILLED OR OTHERS. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE VW CAR DEALER FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW AND I'VE HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR MY WIFE THIS WHOLE TIME. VW CALLS ME EVERY 2 WEEK AND TELL ME 2 MORE WEEKS ON THE PART (ELECTRICAL MODULE IN GEAR SHIFTER). I AM FACING A SEVERAL DOLLAR BILL AT SHOP AND A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH CAR RENTAL. THAT KEEPS CHARGING MY CREDIT CARD. I AM PAYING FOR A BRAND NEW DEAD VW. AND VERY VERY DID APPOINTED IN THE WHOLE SYSTEM! .

2019 JETTA LOW OIL WARNING: MY 2019 JETTA FIRST SHOWED LOW OIL WARINGING BEFORE THE 10K MILE SERVICE...AT ABOUT 8K MILES. LINDSAY VW OF DULLES TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL AS THE CARS WERE SOMETIMES SHIPPED WITH LESS THAN FULL OIL LEVELS AND THEY COMPLETED THE OIL CHANGE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. OK. NOW I HAVE ABOUT 18K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE CAR IS ONCE AGAIN SHOWING THE LOW OIL LEVEL WARNING. CHECK OIL LEVEL AND PUT IN ABOUT A QUART IN. SOONEST SERVICE APPOINTMENT I COULD GET SHCEDULED IS 33 DAYS AWAY... WE'LL SEE IF I HAVE TO PUT MORE OIL IN BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP SEE THE CAR.

MY BRAND NEW 2019 GLI KEEPS STALLING WHEN APPROACHING STOP OR LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN CLUTCH IS OUT AND ENGINE IN NEUTRAL.

DRIVING A 6 SPEED M/T. WITHOUT AUTO START/STOP, TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME WAS SLOWING TO A STOP. SLOWING DOWN, I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO COME TO A STOP. WHEN STOPPED, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE 3 DAYS I'VE OWNED.

THE SAME DAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER'S LOT, IT SHUT-OFF ON ME THREE TIMES; ONCE ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE AND TWICE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME AT THE STOP LIGHT, I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE SECOND WAS COMING TO A STOP. FURTHER, I WAS UNAWARE THE VEHICLE HAD SHUT-OFF UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND PLACED IT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT SHUT-OFF A FOURTH TIME THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION. EACH TIME, THE INFO CENTER IN THE DASHBOARD STATED, "PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND MANUALLY START THE VEHICLE."

WHILE ACCELERATING, A DISTINCT GRINDING NOISE COMES FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE NOISE IS CONSISTENTLY HEARD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25-30 MPH. MY VEHICLE HAS 8K MILES, SO THIS NOISE IS VERY CONCERNING. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN A NEW CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES! VW KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IS DOING NOTHING - MEANWHILE THE CAR IS BEING IMPACTED EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN - AND IT'S MAKING THE PROBLEM WORSEN. PLEASE START AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS -- IT'S NOT RIGHT AS CONSUMERS, OUR WELL-BEING AND SAFETY ARE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND YOU ARE GETTING MORE COMPLAINTS EVERY DAY ON THIS ISSUE. AND VW KNOWS ABOUT IT AND IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE 2019 JETTAS THAT HAVE BEEN SOLD/BOUGHT ALREADY. SHAMEFUL ON BOTH VW AND NHTSA FOR NOT LOOKING INTO IT.

BRAND NEW 11 DAYS OLD 2019 JETTA GLI MANUAL ENGINE SHUT DOWN THREE TIMES WHILE IN TRAFFIC. CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL, STARTED TO SHUDDER AND SHUT DOWN AND HAD TO RESTART. THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL DESCENDING DOWN A HILL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS ALSO HAPPEN AT A STOP LIGHT AND STOP SIGN. ALL THREE INCIDENTS HAPPEN IN THE SAME DAY. VERY CONCERNED WITH MY FAMILIES SAFETY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH VW.
