Due to a problem with a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank, fuel may flow into the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system and possibly leak out of the charcoal canister.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

THE TAIL LIGHTS OF MY NEW 2019 VW JETTA, ARE A HAZARD FOR ANYONE WASHING THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE VERY SHARP AT THE BOTTOM EDGE AND YOU CAN CUT YOUR SELF. AS A MATTER OF FACT THAT HAPPENED TO THE SALES AGENT THAT I NEGOTIATED WITH ON DECEMBER 27TH AT VW GUNTHER ON DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA. HE WENT TO HELP WITH THE CLEANING OF THE CAR FOR THE DELIVERY, AND CAME BACK BLEEDING WITH A BANDAGE IN HIS FINGER. NOW I AM AFRAID TO CLEAN THAT AREA AND I TOLD EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY TO BE CAREFUL. I THINK VW SHOULD CORRECT THIS ISSUE ASAP
Power train, Jan 13, 2019
IT APPEARS THAT THE MAJORITY AND OR ALL OF THE NEW 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA'S HAVE TORQUE CONVERTER DEFECTS. THE DEFECT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO EMIT A LOUD SCRAPE AND GRINDING NOISE WHICH CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER. THE COULD CAUSE DRIVERS TO PULL OVER AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE NEW 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES DUE TO THIS SOUND THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT'S A 'NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC' OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, THIS NEEDS TO REVIEWED BY A 3RD PARTY AS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND SAFE TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT GRIND OR SCRAPE AS THESE NOISES GENERALLY MEAN THAT INTERNAL DAMAGE IS OCCURRING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION. VOLKSWAGEN ALLOWED ME TO REVIEW A DOCUMENT STATING THEY WERE AWARE OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, HOWEVER, THEY ARE CLAIMING IT'S NORMAL. AGAIN, SAFE TORQUE CONVERTERS DO NOT GRIND OR SCRAPE. HERE'S THE ID TO THE VOLKSWAGEN DOCUMENT THAT CAN BE REQUESTED FROM VW: 32-18-01TT. THE 2019 VW JETTA THAT I HAVE WAS TAKEN TO A 3RD PARTY TRANSMISSION EXPERT AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND THEY DID NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I FEEL THE SAME WAY, HOWEVER, I'M BEING TOLD BY VW AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS THAT GRINDING TRANSMISSIONS ARE NORMAL AND SAFE WHICH CONTRADICTS REALITY. GRINDING TRANSMISSIONS ON NEW VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE, THEY'RE DEFECTIVE AND SAYING THAT THEY ARE NORMAL IS LEGALLY CONCERNING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE SAFETY AND VALUE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS ISSUE FOR A NEW 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA'S. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND JUST WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED BY VOLKSWAGEN. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO HELP ME 3 TIMES AND I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A RUN AROUND BY VW REGIONAL CARE PROVIDERS WITH THIS ISSUE, TOO (IT'S BEEN A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH VW AT TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE BOUGHT BACK FOR SUCH A BAD DEFECT).

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN EARLY MAY 2018. EARLY ON, I EXPERIENCED INCREASING RPM WHEN THE GAS WAS RELEASED AND THE CLUTCH ENGAGED. A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL COULD BE DETECTED FROM THE CLUTCH SOME OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, ON 3 OCCASIONS, THIS MALFUNCTION WAS EXTRAORDINARY, WHERE THE ENGINE RPM SOARED VERY HIGH AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT SEEM TO FULLY DISENGAGE. ON ALL THREE INCIDENTS, THE BURNING SMELL WAS SIGNIFICANT. WITH ONLY 5800 MILES, THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS WORN TO THE RIVETS. VW OF AMERICA'S RESPONSE; 'OPERATOR ERROR' ' NOT A WARRANTY CONCERN. POINT OF REFERENCE: I HAVE OWNED / OPERATED 8 CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION OVER THE PAST 43 YEARS FOR A TOTAL OF OVER 700,000 MILES OF DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO SERVICE A CLUTCH UNDER 100,000 MILES OF SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS MALFUNCTION, AS IT ONLY OCCURRED A FEW TIMES EACH MONTH. VW OF AMERICA AGREES IT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A CLUTCH WEAR SO QUICKLY, BUT ALSO BELIEVES IT IS DUE TO THE WAY I DRIVE THE CAR AND NOT COVERED BY THEIR WARRANTY. 90% OF MY DRIVING IS ON A 30 MILE (INTERSTATE) SEGMENT BETWEEN MY HOME AND O'HARE AIRPORT (I AM AN AIRLINE PILOT). I CANNOT IMAGINE THE DELIBERATE EFFORT IT WOULD TAKE, OR THE PAIN IN SITTING THROUGH THE KIND OF 'NORMAL' CLUTCH ACTION IT WOULD REQUIRE TO WEAR MY CLUTCH DOWN TO NOTHING IN JUST 5800 MILES. VW OF AMERICA GAVE ME 30 DAYS TO ACCEPT THEIR FINAL OFFER: A REDUCED COST TO ME FOR THE REPAIR OF MY WORN CLUTCH. VW IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE IS ANYTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH MY CAR OR THE OPERATION OF THE MANUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM. THERE IS NO CONCERN FOR THE ONGOING ISSUE ONCE THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN RESTORED.

TAKATA RECALL- I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN BECAUSE THE HORN ON THE VEHICLE WAS GOING OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE DIAGNOSED VW DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE FIREWALL OF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN SEALED, THEREFORE WATER WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS MOLD FOUND IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH NOW THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER TWO WEEKS, AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A COMPLETION DATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE ACTUALLY MADE NO EFFORTS TO CONTACT ME.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MEDIUM AND HIGH SETTINGS, HITS A PILLAR AND MAKE A LOUD TAPPING METALLIC EVERY WIPE. IT'S A POOR QUALITY SOUND THAT GETS WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE OF ADDED WIND STRESS TO WIPERS. MY 2005 BEATER NISSAN SENTRA WIPERS OPERATING SOUNDS LIKE A LEXUS COMPARED TO THIS 2019 JETTA SEL. TOLD DEALER, THEY TESTED AND CONFIRMED IT'S A PROBLEM. REPAIRED CAR WITH A "WIPER ARM ADJUSTMENT". I PICK UP CAR AND OF COARSE, WIPERS STILL MAKE THE STUPID NOISE. I WILL TAKE BACK NEXT OIL CHANGE AND PUSH HARDER. IT RUINS THIS CARS REFINEMENT WHEN ITS RAINING, IT'S SO ANNOYING AND VERY NOTICABLE.

WELL AGAIN MY I HAD TO TAKE MY 2019 JETTA BACK TO LUNDE'S IN PEORIA, AZ. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION LEAK WAS FIXED IN AUGUST, I NOTICED ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE CAR WAS JERKING A LOT AND NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. ( LIKE WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE GAS, BUT DISCOVER YOUR CAR IS NEUTRAL AND NOT DRIVE.) THIS BECAME VERY DANGEROUS AND THE DELAY TIME WAS GETTING LONGER AND LONGER TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS ABOUT HALF A MINUTE BEFORE IT WOULD ACCELERATE. OR WOULD BE ACCELERATING FINE THEN MID DRIVE OR WHEN TURNING, IT WOULD JUST STOP AND COAST AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU PUSHED YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS OTHER THEN THE CAR REVVING AND NOT MOVING. I TOOK MY JETTA BACK INTO LUNDE'S (AGAIN) AND THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH. THEY REPLACED THE O RINGS, AS PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED ON HERE AND I WAS TOLD THAT NOW VW HAS REMADE ALL THE O RINGS TO WORK AND FIT PROPERLY IN THE TRANSMISSION. I PICKED UP MY CAR AT LUNDE'S AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO GET GAS. I WAS WAITING IN LINE WITH THE CAR IN PARK & STILL RUNNING. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE SAID RESTART ENGINE! SO THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME! I CALLED LUNDE'S BACK AND WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO CALL THEM. WELL, IT DID, AND I DID NOT CALL THEM BACK BECAUSE I OPENED UP A CASE WITH VW OF AMERICA TO TRY TO GET A BUYBACK OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF MY AUTO LOAN COMPANY FIRST INVESTORS WILL PROCESS THE SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL REQUEST. THIS WAY I CAN KEEP EVERYTHING THE SAME ON MY LOAN (BC I UPGRADED AND NOW HAVE NEGATIVE EQUITY THE BUY BACK OPTION IS NOT FINANCIALLY A GOOD OPTION FOR ME) SO OF COURSE MY AUTO LOAN COMPANY STATES "THEY DO NOT DO THAT ANYMORE". SO NOW I AM GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM SO I AM NOT STUCK IN AN UNSAFE CAR. DO NOT BUY A 2019 JETTA UNTIL VW GETS IT FIGURED OUT ON ALL THE FAULTY PARTS AND DO NOT GET AN AUTO LOAN WITH 1ST INVESTORS. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT RECALLED YET?

AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE 2019 JETTA AT THE END OF JUNE, I HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION LEAK FIXED AND THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED FOR A LARGE LEAK. IT TOOK OVER 2 WKS TO GET THE CAR BACK. THEN FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW, THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING ROUGH, NOT ACCELERATING WITHOUT A HUGE DELAY & JERKING. IT'S LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL WHEN YOU TRY TO STEP ON THE GAS. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE TO SEND A REP OUT FROM VOLKSWAGEN TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THAT WILL TAKE SO I WILL HAVE THE LOANER VEHICLE INDEFINITELY. I CALLED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARE TO OPEN A CASE TO SEE IF I CAN GET A BUYBACK OPTION BECAUSE THE DEALER STATED THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO AT THIS POINT.
