ON VERY COLD DAYS (BELOW 10 DEGREES F), THE CAR DOES NOT PRODUCE HEAT. MY WIFE DROVE IT 20+ MINUTES WITHOUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE EVER MOVING. THIS PROBLEM POSES A SAFETY THREAT BECAUSE OF INABILITY TO DEFROST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, AND THREAT OF HYPOTHERMIA. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON SIGNIFICANTLY WARNER DAYS.

TORQUE CONVERTER MAKES A GRINDING SOUND AT 1,400 RPM. THE SOUND IS LOUDER WITH "ECO" MODE SELECTED ON TRANSMISSION BUT IS STILL PRESENT WHEN NOT ENGAGED.
Exterior lighting, May 2, 2019
THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SYSTEM THAT SWITCHES ON THE HEADLIGHTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF DARKNESS. HOWEVER, THE CAR HAS NO PROVISION TO PROVIDE THE DRIVER WITH FEEDBACK AS TO WHETHER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY ON OR OFF AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THIS LEAVES THE DRIVER UNINFORMED. THE DRIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TURNING HEADLIGHTS ON TO COMPLY WITH LOCAL LAWS, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO THE DRIVER AS TO WHETHER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY ON OR OFF. THIS DEFICIENCY SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS AS YET UNRELATED TO A SPECIFIC INCIDENT.

Power train, Apr 26, 2019
I'VE HAD THE 2019 JETTA FOR ROUGHLY 30 DAYS NOW. I'VE NOTICED A STRANGE GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AROUND 30 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING UNDER LIGHT LOAD. AS IF A DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT WHILE THE CLUTCH IS NOT ENGAGED, THE CAR PRODUCES A GRINDING NOISE (BUT THIS CARE IS AN AUTOMATIC). SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT INTO VW TO BE LOOKED AT (YOUNG VW). THEY SAID AND I QUOTE "NOISE IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE DRIVE SYSTEM WHEN ACCELERATING." THAT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME.. MY HUSBAND HAS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF AUTOMOTIVE KNOWLEDGE AND HAS MADE AN ASSERTIONS THAT THE ISSUES IS RELATED TO THE THE TRANSMISSION PACKAGE; IN HIS OPINION ANY ISSUE WITH THE TORQUE AT LOW RPMS. VW REFUSES TO EVEN LOOK AT THE ISSUE, AT THIS TIME. WE WORRY IS THE CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND IT DAMAGES THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND WORSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAUSES ACCELERATED HEATING AND FAILURE RATE FOR THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. MY HUSBAND HAS RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON GOOGLE, DOCUMENT ID: 32-18-01TT PROVES THAT VW AG KNOWS THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECT PART, THEY CLAIM THAT IT'S 'A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE' HOWEVER, THE DOCUMENT LITERALLY MENTIONS THE TERM 'SCRAPING'. HE HAS ALSO TESTED THE CAR, AND IF HE PUT THIS CAR IN MANUAL MODE AND RIGHT BEFORE 4TH GEAR HITS 2000 RPM, SWITCH TO 5TH GEAR AND LET IT DROP TO AROUND 1300-1400 RPM AND ACCELERATE LIGHTLY (ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE); YOU'LL HEAR A LOUD SOUND THAT SCRAPES ALL THE WAY TO 2000 RPM.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS A GRINDING NOISE WHILE DRIVING IN LOW GEARS.
Power train, Apr 16, 2019
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 IS ROUGHLY 5 MONTHS OFF THE LOT AND HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES, SO THIS NOISE IS VERY CONCERNING. THIRD PARTY MECHANICS HAVE CONFIRMED THE NOISE IS A HAZARD FOR THE TRANSMISSION, AND HAVE ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO VOLKSWAGEN FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR. BOTH THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE NOTIFIED ME THE GRINDING NOISE IS NORMAL AND OF NO CONCERN. HOWEVER, A SOFTWARE PATCH IS AVAILABLE TO "FIX" THE "NON-ISSUE". VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE ALSO NOTIFIED ME THE PATCH DOES NOT COMPLETELY FIX THE GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I PRESSED FURTHER, CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTIFIED ME THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS AND "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO AT THIS TIME TO FIX IT." THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED THE NOISE IS PRESENT IN OTHER 2019 JETTAS ON THEIR LOT, WHICH IS WHY THEY SAID THE NOISE IS NORMAL FOR MY VEHICLE. IT SOUNDS LIKE VW HAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH ALL 2019 JETTAS, AND THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW AND/OR REFUSE TO FIX IT.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAYS A MESSAGE SAYING 'OPERATING OUTSIDE OF NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE' WHEN THE HEATER IS RUNNING, AND SHUTS OFF DISABLING ANY FUNCTIONALITY. INCLUDING BACK UP CAMERA, WHICH HAS PERSONALLY CAUSED ME TO BACK INTO A POLE AS I WAS MID REVERSAL WHEN IT SHUT OFF. IT HAPPENS WHEN MOVING OR STATIONARY. HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CAPTURE IMAGES, HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE.
Power train, Engine, Apr 15, 2019
1. FIRST ISSUE IS THE CAR RUNNING LOW ON OIL BEFORE IT REACHES THE 10K MILE MARK. THIS CAR SHOULD BE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 10K MILES HOWEVER IT WILL RUN OUT OF OIL BEFORE THE 10K MARK IS ACHIEVED. 2. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AT ABOUT 30MPH THAT SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GEAR CHANGE. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS TRANSMISSION RELATED. THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS FIRST PURCHASED.
Power train, Apr 10, 2019
TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUE. TRANSMISSION MAKES LOUD NOISE IN 5TH AROUND 25 - 30 MPH GEAR. HAS A VIBRATION OVER 45 MPH AND OVER AT STEADY SPEED. VW HAS A SOFTWARE PATCH TCM 37L7 (HELPS TO REDUCE 450HZ VIBRATION) WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO HELP, BUT THEY WILL NOT PATCH CARS ALREADY SOLD. WHEN I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IT HAD UNDER 10 MILES. IT DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE UNTIL I PUT ON JUST OVER 100 MILES. THE PATCH IS MORE OF A MASK THAN A FIX. V W ALSO HAS HAD MANY TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAKS, I SUSPECT THAT THE VIBRATION THE TORQUE CONVERTER PRODUCES IS THE CAUSE.

I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON RECALL 19V188 - REAR AXLE COIL SPRINGS. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL VIA THE LOCAL NEWS STATION AND WAS DIRECTED TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, WHERE I LOOKED UP THE VIN ON MY CAR AND CONFIRMED THE RECALL. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK WITH IF THEY HAD THE PART AND WHEN IT COULD BE REPLACED. 4 DAYS LATER (TODAY) I GET THE CALL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. THIS UPSET ME BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS REPLACEMENT. I DRIVE 500 MILES TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE A WEEK! THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR, ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD, WITH A $450 A MONTH PRICE TAG (THE WHOLE PRIORITY FOR LIFE). I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS BROUGHT AND WAS TOLD THAT CARS GET RECALLS ALL THE TIME AND THAT THIS WASN'T A BIG DEAL. THOUGH THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL THEY COULD GET THE PARTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS HIGHWAY RISK AND AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE, FROM A MANUFACTURER THAT CLAIMS TO ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK!!!!!!! I COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF WITH A USED VEHICLE. I'M GUESSING THE MANUFACTURER IS OK WITH UNSAFE VEHICLES BEING OUT ON THE ROADWAY. IF THESE SPRINGS BREAK AND I GET IN AN ACCIDENT, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT I WILL CONTACT A LAWYER.

ALL SENSORS INCLUDING AIRBAG AND ABS REPORTED ERRORS. VW REPRESENTATIVE OVER THE PHONE SAID IT DOES NOT SOUND SAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE VEHICLE. RATTLING SOUND WHICH IS PERSISTENT AFTER VW INSTALLED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING GEARS. WHILE THE ENGINE RUNNING AND CHANGED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A POLE WHICH STOPPED IT FROM MOVING FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE. ALL PHOTO AND VIDEO DOCUMENTED. VOLKSWAGEN CLAIMS THIS PROOF DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE 'THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A RESIDUE FROM MANUFACTURING ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO REMOVE, AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PERSISTENT. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD OR ADMIT THE PROBLEM IS FROM MANUFACTURING. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND CONTINUED TO BE TOLD 'NOTHING IS WRONG' AND MY DOCUMENTED PROOF 'DOES NOT MATTER'.

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR THE GRINDING NOISE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO SHIFT NOW ABOUT 5K MILES IN. I CALLED VW ABOUT IT AND THEY DENIED KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE NOISE. VW CAME UP WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FIX THIS BUT IT IS APPARENTLY ONLY FOR UNSOLD CARS. I FIND THIS RIDICULOUS. THE UPDATE IS CALLED 37L7, I KNOW THIS INFORMATION FROM A OWNER WHO GOT THE DEALERSHIP TO UPDATE THEIR CAR.

I WAS GOING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FAMOUS 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION "GROAN", BUT NOW THIS HAPPENED. ONE THING AT A TIME, VW REGIONAL REP IS GOING TO CALL ME TOMORROW AFTER CALLING 1 800 "FU" VW AND "TRY" TO GET ME A LOANER. I JUST WANTED THIS DOCUMENTED.
