2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

Unknown. I took my car in for recall repairs and they repaired all but the one listed on this site which seems kind of important

The contact owns a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the windshield wipers independently activated without any waring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the dealer stated that no failure was found; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 20,000.

Like MANY people have experienced, I was driving on the highway when the sunroof glass suddenly exploded. It was terrifying and the startled reaction could easily have caused a serious highway speed crash. There was no obvious reason for the failure of the glass but having shattered glass fall in my lap was scary.

I was driving on a active snowing highway at 7pm when an alert appeared on the dashboard to “check starter system” and “pull vehicle over…”. During this time im on the highway going about 6mph and everything electrical turned off including my headlights and windshield wipers turned off. I was able to activate my hazards and pull off the highway but due to the snow and everything electrical cutting off my windows fogged up and almost caused me to crash into a semi-truck. I have googled this issue and it seems to be very common for this specific vehicle.

I bought the car October 1 2022 around October 15th it shut off without and warning while crossing over a intersection on November 19th I was on i95 north and it shut off again with no warning I got to the side of the highway and it started I got about a mile up the highway and it shut off a 3rd time this time it said error stop/start

I AM A AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AT AVIS BUDGET. I ORDERED A NEW FUEL TANK FOR THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR CAR. I GOT TOLD BY THE DEALER , TO INSTALL THE NEW TANK "WITHOUT HEATSHIELD" WHERE THE EXHAUST WRAPPES AROUND THE PLASTIC TANK. THE VIN I REPORTED=WE SEND TO THE DEALER FOR SAME REPAIR. I TOOK PICTURE, SEALER DID NOT INSTALL "A HEATSHIELD" TO PROTECT TANK FROM EXHAUST HEAT. ON A 2021 MODEL "VW IS USING THIS NEW TANK" BUT WITH HEATSHIELD." I AM FORCED NOW, TO INSTALL THE NEW TANK WITHOUT HEATSHIELD ! I DONT WANT TO BE RESPOSIBLE, IF THE CAR KILLS SOMEONE. SAME DEALER PERFORMED PRIOR REPAIRS, WHERE ONE CAR COUGHT FIRE, BECAUSE DEALER DID NOT INSTALL A HEAT WRAPP ON A REPLACED OIL CONTROL FLOW VALVE, IN BACK OF ENGINE. PLEASE ADVISE !!!

I have had to replace two manual transmission clutches. The first was at 19,261 miles. The second was at 50,358 miles. Both times the engine excessively revved up while driving without shifting and there was a putrid and foul smell of burning rubber along with smoke. VW repair shop isn't taking ownership of a defective transmission, defective clutch, or defective material. I had to have the vehicle towed both times because the vehicle was not safe to drive.

As I was driving, all gauges went black. The vehicle continued to run until I came to a complete stop then the engine stopped. It would start for a few minutes. When it did it would shut down when I put it in gear. After letting it cool down, it started and I was able to get home. It still happens. Sometimes the lights will work when it happens other time they won't. I got it diagnosed and the could find any thing wrong. The check starter system warning comes on as well as ignition switch warning. It seems to happen during hot days.

When going fast real quick the car start to smell like something is burning. My right light isn’t working right
