2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. GRINDING NOISE AND VIBRATION WHEN SHIFT GEAR AT LOW SPEED.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GRINDING, BOGGING, SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS AND THE CAR SHAKES. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-50MPH.

2019 R LINE JETTA WAS ORIGINALLY MAKING A GRINDING SOUND AT 1500 RPM. NOW I JUST GOT A CHECK OIL LEVEL NOTIFICATION ON MY DASH. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 7,000 MILES.

GRINDING SOUND AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN SHIFTING UP. AUTOMATIC 8 SPEED R-LINE. SOUND TENDS NOT TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN "SPORT MODE". VW DEALERSHIPS SAY THEY DON'T HEAR ANYTHING BUT EVERYONE I KNOW DOES AND EVERYONE ON LINE HAS THE ISSUE TOO. VW NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS UP TO 40 OR SO MINES OR WHEN SHIFTING. CONCERNING NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. COOK VOLKSWAGEN (2110 BELAIR RD, FALLSTON, MD 21047, (410) 401-8684) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

I PURCHASED A NEW JETTA 2019 ON 05.31.2019 AND STARTED NOTICING A TRANSMISSION NOISE (SCRAPING OR SCRATCHING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AT LOW SPEED) SOON AFTER. FIRST APPT TO DEALER ON 06.13.19 AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS. ON 06.17.19 SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT VEHICLE'S NOISE IS NORMAL. I MADE AN APPT AND ANOTHER DEALER FOR 06.19.19 (TODAY). DEALER ACKNOWLEDGE SOUND HOWEVER THEY ARE UNABLE TO COVER TRANSMISSION NOISE BECAUSE VW USA ISSUED "TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN / TECH TIP" ON 04.18.19 (TRANSACTION NO. 205788/4) RECOMMENDING "NO FURTHER REPAIRS". NOW CUSTOMERS ARE LEFT TO DEAL WITH ABNORMAL TRANSMISSION SOUNDS WHEN DRIVING AND UNABLE TO FIX THEM UNDER WARRANTY. KEEPING IN MIND THAT I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE 7 YEAR / 72K MILES WARRANTY. I CAN HONESTLY SHARE WITH YOU THAT THIS HAS BEEN THE WORSE PURCHASE I'VE MADE.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LIGHTLY PRESSED THE CAR WILL MAKE A RUMBLING/GRINDING SOUND.

"HILL HOLD ASSIST" DOES NOT DISENGAGE QUICKLY IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES WHEN STOPPED FACING UP AN INCLINE CAUSING THE DRIVER TO EITHER STALL THE VEHICLE POTENTIALLY IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS OR BURN THE CLUTCH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING CAUSING PREMATURE CLUTCH WEAR. OFTEN TIRES SPIN ONCE THE BRAKE IS RELEASED CAUSING PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. THIS COULD EASILY BE SOLVED WITH SOFTWARE UPGRADES ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO DISABLE THIS FEATURE AND/OR REFINING THE RELEASE TO BE MORE INSTANTANEOUS.

MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION-EQUIPPED 2019 JETTA GLI (2.0T) STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AT STOP LIGHTS DESPITE THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY ENGAGED ("TO THE FLOOR") OR THE VEHICLE COASTING IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND IN TWO OF THOSE DAYS, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH CITY STREETS AND AT STOP LIGHTS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPEN AT APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, WITH THE SECOND AT AROUND 120 MILES. THE VEHICLE SHOWED NO PREEMPTIVE SIGNS OF A STALL, AND NECESSITATED A FULL RE-IGNTIION OF THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO PROCEED OUT OF TRAFFIC. A QUICK SEARCH OF "2019 JETTA GLI/GTI STALLING ISSUE" RETURNS A LARGE LIST OF IDENTICAL OCCURRENCES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS IN 2019-BUILT ENGINES/DRIVETRAINS.

ENGINE ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION REPEATEDLY SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO STOP WITH CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE AUTO-SHUTOFF FEATURE IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, BUT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH MANUAL. CAR MUST THEN BE RESTARTED WITH PUSH BUTTON START. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN IN TRAFFIC.
