2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

THE ENGINE OF MY NEW 2019 JETTA GLI 6MT SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED (DISENGAGED), WITH THE STICK EITHER IN 1ST OR NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENED 3 OR 4 TIMES YESTERDAY, AUG 1 2019, AFTER DRIVING WITH MEDIUM SPEEDS ON HILLY ROADS FOR 30-45 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE HAS AROUND 350 MILES ON IT.

THE 2019 JETTA HAS A WEIRD, GRINDING/GROWLING SOUND WHEN SHIFTING INTO 5TH GEAR AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH. IT CAN ALSO BE HEARD IN OTHER GEARS, SUCH AS 8TH, BUT MORE PROMINENT IN 5TH. THERE'S ALSO A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF POWER WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THE CAR APPEARS IT DROPS ALMOST 800RPM AND IS SO SLOW TO ACCELERATE. WHEN IT'S SHIFTING 2-3, YOU'RE STILL IN A CRITICAL STATE OF ACCELERATION AND WHEN TRYING TO TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY WITH 55MPH SPEED LIMIT AND YOU HAVE A CAR THAT LOSES POWER TO THE WHEELS IS UNSAFE.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAVE GROANING AND GROWLING SOUNDS AT GEAR 4,5, AND 7. VERY LOUD AT TIMES. ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME HESITATION TO ACCELERATE. VW KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IS DOING NOTHING. MOREOVER, VW KNOWS IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER AS THEY SENT OUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO UNSOLD JETTA'S TO DEALERS BUT AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO ALREADY SOLD JETTAS. ONLY SAYING THESE NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS DEFECTIVE CONVERTER IS ON HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF JETTA AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE.AND DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION

ENGINE STALLS OCCASIONALLY, I HAVE THE DSG AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND SOMETIMES WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND A REQUEST DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN ASKING ME TO MANUAL RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TOMES ALREADY SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LAST A FEW DAYS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 400 MILES ON IT, I'VE PURCHASED IT NEW. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY WITH THE VEHICLE.

2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLI 35TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION 6 SPEED MT ODOMETER: 408MI BUILT 12/2018 IN MEXICO VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP WITH NO CEL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE OR DIAGNOSE THE MALFUNCTION BECAUSE IT'S OCCURRENCE IS INTERMITTENT AND THERE ARE NO CODES LEFT IN THE ECM OR TCM.

ENGINE STALLING ON NEW VEHICLE. TWO EVENTS OCCURRED IN ONE NIGHT, 7/23/2019, WITH ABOUT 790 AND 801 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IN BOTH CASES, THE CLUTCH WAS DISENGAGED WHILE BRAKING AND SLOWING TO APPROACH A TURN. THE ENGINE WAS UNDER NO LOAD AND SHOULD HAVE RETURNED TO IDLE WHEN I DISENGAGED THE CLUTCH. ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND HAD TO BE RE-STARTED VIA THE STARTER BUTTON. MY VEHICLE IS A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLI, 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND 2.0 LITER TURBO ENGINE.

WHILE EITHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, AND NO MATTER WHERE THE VEHICLE IS, THERE IS A PRONOUNCED RATTLING THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, AND OCCASIONALLY FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL, WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED UP TO AN ENJOYABLE VOLUME. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AS IT'S A RATHER IRRITATING PHENOMENON THAT DISTRACTS THE DRIVER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I SUSPECT THIS RATTLING IS DUE TO A LACK OF SOUND DEADENING OR OTHER FORM OF NOISE INSULATION INSIDE THE DOORS. THIS NOTION IS FURTHER SUPPORTED BY CONSIDERABLE ROAD NOISE CAUSED BY THE APPARENT LACK OF SOUND INSULATION IN THE FLOORS AS WELL.

BRAKES ARE MAKING A PULSATING SOUND FROM WHEN IT WAS AT 20000 MILES , HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THE CAR FROM DAY 3 OF OWNING IT . VOLKSWAGEN REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK SAYING THATS NOT A VALID COMPLAINT.. ENGINE MAKES A RUMBLING OR A GRINDING SOUND WHEN IT IS AT 35-40MPH ! CAR LOOSES TIRE PRESSURE EVERY WEEK. WHEN GOING THROUGHT EVEN A MINOR POTHOLE IT FEELS AS IF THE STRUTS WERE RAMMED ON THE ROAD !! INSUFFICIENT LIGHTING ! DRIVES ALMOST LIKE A BULL ! FEELS LIKE ITS JUST DRAGGING ITSELF .... AWFUL TO THE CORE ! SEAT FRAME HAS BEEN CHANGED ONCE BEFORE IN 3 MONTHS 2DAYS OF OWNING MY CAR AND IT HAS STARTED TO SHAKE AGAIN BUT WAS IGNORED BY THE DEALERSHIP! AND ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND CITY! CAR MAKES VIBRATING SOUNDS BUT IGNORED BY THW DEALERSHIP

ALL ISSUES WRITTEN HERE HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY OF PURCHASE, AS OF JUNE 2018. VW CURRENTLY DENIES ISSUES AND CLAIMS REPORTS ARE OF NORMAL OPERATION OF VEHICLE. I LOVE THIS CAR I JUST WANT VW TO PROVIDE A FIX. VEHICLE HAS A CONTINUOUS GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND ENGINE AREA WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ACCELERATING FROM 27- 30MPH AFTER THAT IT SUBSIDES. SOUNDS OF GRINDING DEPENDS WHAT DRIVE MODE YOUR ARE IN. ECO HAS THE LOUDEST NOISE. MANY OTHER REPORTS SUSPECT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. VEHICLE WHILE STATIONARY HAS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT ENGINE AREA THAT SOUNDS LIKE A ROTATION HUMMING GRIND NOISE, USUALLY OCCURS AFTER VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION BLIND SPOT MONITOR ON DRIVER SIDE MIRROR LIGHTS UP DURING BAD WEATHER EVEN WHEN NO VEHICLE IS PRESENT IN BLIND SPOT. ALSO, CAN HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS NO BAD WEATHER. VEHICLE WHILE IN REVERSE DURING RAIN IF EQUIPED WITH DRIVE ASSIST WILL AUTOMATICALLY BREAK STOP FOR YOU WHILE NO VEHICLE IS PRESENT. WINSHEILD WIPER BLADES LEAVE STREAKING MARKS INTO WINDSHIELD THAT DOESNT GO AWAY. PAINT ALSO EASILY CHIPS WHEN PEBBLES FROM HIGHWAYS HITS THE HOOD OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO VW NORTH HILLS 1COCHRAN PITTSBURGH PA THEY STATED THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE GRINDING NOISE, AND IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE TURBO CHARGE ENGINE. THEY ALSO INVESTIGATED THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR STATING SENSOR IS DIRTY JUST NEEDS CLEANED. THAT'S ALSO FALSE BECUASE AFTER VW NORTH HILLS 1COCHRAN CLEANED IT ON A CLEAR SUNNY DAY AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE BLIND SPOT MONITOR CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THIS VEHICLE AT TIME OF REPORT HAS 23000 MILES ON IT HAS IT DRIVES A LOT OF HIGHWAY. RISK OF VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHILE ACCELERATING USUALLY BETWEEN 30-80MPH WITH KNOWN ISSUES ARE HIGH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE.
