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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

"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.

VEHICLE IS RANDOMLY STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR, IF THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, OR IF THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE IS EITHER SLOWING TO A STOP OR HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE DRIVEWAY. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
Other or unspecified, Engine, May 22, 2019

MY VEHICLE, LIKE MANY OUT THERE HAS A GRINDING OR SCRAPING NOISE EMITTED DURING UPSHIFTING AT LESS THAN HIGHWAY SPEED. DURING THE NOISE, THE CAR HAS A SMALL LOSS OF POWER. IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS COMING APART. IT HAPPENS IN ALL MODES BUT IS MORE EVIDENT IN ECO MODE. THE DEALER IS PLAYING DUMB PRETENDING LIKE IT IS NOT AN ISSUE AND EVEN SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF IT BEFORE. THE CAR CAME OUT OF SERVICE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.
