When in motion, around 35mph and 1200-1400 rpm, there is a grinding/rubbing/vibration sound coming from the vehicles transmission and/or torque converter. issue is widespread for this model year, and my specific instance is going to be reported to my local vw dealership in the coming days. *tr
My 2019 jetta sel officially jointed the transmission leak and torque converter noise club. dropped it off at the dealer for oil change with 22000 miles on it. got called that the transmission has a leak and the dealer recommends not to drive it. bonus, parts are not ready for a week and they are all out of loaners. 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. vw better take care of this or they didn't learn from diesel gate and we will all see them in court again. fyi.. i still have a windshield wiper clicking noise coming from the wiper arm hitting the a pillar of the car when on high. vw problems.. that's what i get for falling for that long warranty.
Brand new 2019 volkswagen jetta making grinding/rattling noise at around 30 mph. was told by volkswagen dealership staff/employee member that the sound is normal for all volkswagen vehicles of the same model as well as others. it is apparent this is a common issue among other volkswagen jetta vehicles based on numerous accounts online, and needs to be dealt with by the manufacturer.
I brought my 2019 vw jetta r-line into the dealership for the 10000 mile service at 9471 miles. the dealership identified a "stage 3" transmission fluid leak, apparently the worst stage based on quantity and location of fluid. minor shift issues noted during driving prior, but none isolated to specific speeds, gears, or driving mode.
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.
1. 1800 miles-transmission fluid leak, the service people told me it was a known problem with 2019 jettas, repair took 2 months 2. heater doesn't blow out warm air when traveling under 40 mph, even after 18 miles of driving 3. grinding/croaking noise like a frog at 28-30 mph and again at 40 mph 4. brakes squeak 5. trunk falls on my head unless i push it all the way up per owners manual addendum
Grinding noise at 30 mph
Vehicle was purchased 3 days ago and has 300 miles on it. there is a consistent metallic grinding sound between 20-40 mph. not sure what's going on. online research indicates that this is a common issue and vw is aware but claims it's normal. it certainly doesn't sound normal.
First, trunk of the car. it's unsafe and doesn't lock unless u overextend it open. i have been hit in my head twice before i learned my lesson. second, transmission. it makes a grinding noise when operated at slower speeds. i am reaching 9,500 miles and noise is still there since day one. three, the engine. i believe there is a internal defect because today i was driving a the engine oil light came on. once i checked the oil i saw that the dipstick was clean, no oil, nada. where has all the oil gone on a new 2019 jetta? it sure hasn't been leaking on the ground of my garage because there is no fluids.
Noticed grinding sounds from when i got the car, read online and thought it was normal. apparently not; the torque converter issue is very common. hopefully a recall is issued. my immediate issue :took it in to dealer for normal oil change at 10k miles, and they tell me it has a transmission leak, and the car is not drivable until its fixed. things like this shouldnt be happening in a new car...not cool vw. issue a buy back!!!!!!!!
Brand new vehicle with 300 miles. from the day i picked it up with 37 miles, it grinds every time it acclerates into 3rd gear automatic trans. dealership contacted, service mgr stated this is "normal" for this transmission. also stated his hands are tied on what he can do because vw has called this "normal." he also said he is limited in what he can do at the local level because "we didn't make the car." this does not sound "normal" to me. i am concerned that my vehicle will incur long-term damage, which could lead to a significant public safety risk. it also represents a potential financial risk for myself and other unknowing buyers. the rep. who sold me the car said he was unaware of this issue but the service rep. was clearly aware. i am very concerned that the trail of disclosure was not extended beyond the service desk to sales and, in turn, to buyers like myself.
Turbocharger failure at 10,000 miles. turbocharger found to be defective during my 1st service appointment for the vehicle.
8 speed automatic transmission has a metallic grinding or scraping noise when operating at low rpm's during acceleration. specifically after the transition to 5th gear. the powertrain noticeably hesitates during acceleration when this aforementioned sound is active. it's only a matter of time before this transmission fails and leaves me in the middle of a busy intersection. it's an extremely common issue on the 2019 volkswagen jetta that the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge as an actual problem. they claim the scraping and grinding sound is a 'normal characteristic' of the car, which is totally nonsensical.
Since day one of ownership, my 2019 jetta r-line has been producing an abnormal groaning/grinding noise during acceleration between 20-40 mph. i now have about 5000 miles on my car and the sound is progressively getting louder, you can feel vibrations in the pedals and steering wheel when it happens. i had the issue documented by my local dealership and filed a complaint with volkswagen customer care months ago, still nothing has been done. it seems like everyone i've talked too who works for vw has almost been instructed to say that this is a known characteristic. there are internet pages upon internet pages of disgruntled 2019 jetta owners commenting on this specific widespread problem, it seems to be a defect with the torque converter. our transmissions are being permanently damaged, the resale value of our vehicle's is being diminished, and ultimately our safety is being jeopardized by volkswagen once again.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 volkswagen jetta. while driving 25 mph or higher, the contact heard a loud buzzing and grinding sound coming from the transmission. the contact took the vehicle to sunrise volkswagen (931 sunrise hwy, lynbrook, ny 11563, (516) 596-5970) to have the transmission checked, but an appointment could not be made until january 18, 2019. the manufacturer stated that they would contact nhtsa. the failure mileage was 250. *dt consumer was told by the dealer no "repair" would be needed that they felt it is normal. *jb
Major grinding noise coming from transmission during driving, typically when going between 20-40 mph. there are numerous complaints of this defect, which the manufacturer states as normal. however, it does appear to be a defect with the torque converter that could affect the safety of driver and passengers, and shorten the life of the transmission, while also reducing the resale value of the car. i took the car to the dealer and was told that it was normal because the sound existed on all jettas. however, just because the same safety defect appears across an entire model of car does not make it normal, it makes it widespread. there are over 13 complaints now about the vw power train, and most of them are regarding this specific issue. please start an investigation. also, the pdf document of vws response to this issue is not able to be viewed on your website, the link is broken or doc is missing.
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).
Heavy abrupt grind when shifting into reverse. sometimes refuses to even go into reverse without multiple attempts and forcing shifter. to avoid, driver must first shift to 1st gear, then shift to reverse without ever lifting off of the clutch diring that sequence. and when executing that sequence, sometimes the transmission doea not go into reverse completely causing gear grind when the driver releases the clutch.
The car produces a noticeable grinding noise whenever i am accelerating in both eco and normal modes. there is a grinding feeling in the pedal when the grinding noise occurs. it makes the vehicle feel unsafe. volkswagen refuses to acknowledge the problem. i feel as though the transmission may give out at any time.
Grinding noise at low rpm under light throtle loads and oil leak on transmsion underside. please see this video of noise https://youtu.be/pcv7o3sxzpu. on vwvortex.com forum other jetta mk7 drivers have pointed same issue.
Factory wipers result in streaking, replaced at less than 5k miles. problem alleviated. typical metallic grinding at low speeds, as described by other reports. passenger led headlight ring excessively dim. multiple sources report open recall for this, however, no sources including dealer agree my vehicle is included. several people have pointed out my faulty headlight ring. review of photos containing vehicle indicate headlight issue was not present at purchase. can not confirm.
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.
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.
There is an issue with the transmission in the 2019 jettas (automatic). when driving in low rpm's between 25-30mph, there is a loud grinding sound coming from the car. this affects how you must drive. as someone else stated you must drive more aggressively to eliminate the sound. there are several reports of this with other jetta owners in my area. this happens constant. it is not an isolated event. i have report this to my dealership as well.
I have noticed very regularly that there is a grinding noise coming from the torque converter when driving between 4th and 5th gears specifically in eco mode with this vehicle. i have repeated steps to reproduce the issue very time when using the shiftronic mode in the vehicle as well. this problem is not only distracting, but could also be an issue that leads to mechanical problems in the future to the transmission which leads to lowered resale value.
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.
Transmission grinding noise from driver side of vehicle when at or passing 29-31 mph. noise diminishes and then returns again at 39-41 mph.
Grinding noise heard in 5th gear throughout 1,500-2,000 rpm
When driving between 25 and 40 mph with the accelerator pedal lightly pressed the car will make a rumbling/grinding sound.
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.
I own a 2019 volkswagen jetta. since purchase on 9/10/18, the car has had a vibration. at first i thought it was perhaps a shield on the muffler but after 3 documented trips to the vw service department on 10/17/18, 5/29/19, and 9/18/19 complaining about the vibration, i am told it is from the torque converter. i have a case # [xxx] where i raised the issue with customer care. volkswagens' response is that it is a normal noise. that is an unsatisfactory response. it goes along with the volkswagen culture of denial as in the recent diesel issue. there is a problem; it is not normal as vw professes and i want it fixed. this vibration occurs at 27 mph very briefly and continues at a reduced noise level any time the engine is under load above 27 mph. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
2019 vw jetta s grinding/rattling/groaning noise from the torque converter. when i brought the car in for the 10,000 service, i told the service manager that the transmission was making grinding and groaning noises. the service manager said that they could not get the car to make the noise and it is just a normal sound, i am very concerned that further use of the vehicle is unsafe and will cause the transmission to fail while driving. recalling or buying back theses the vehicles will help consumers avoid potential injuries and any further financial hardships.
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.
Grind noise at 30 mph, diminishes after than starts again more faintly after 40 mph. occasional hard down shifts when coming to a stop.
There is is grinding/rattling noise from the transmission around 30 mph. volkswagen dealership has said it was normal operation but it does not seem normal or safe.
There is an issue with the torque converter in the 2019 jettas (automatic). when driving in low rpm's, there is a loud grinding sound coming from this area. this affects drive-ability, as you need to drive more aggressively to eliminate the sound. there also are multiple reports of transmission fluid leaks. these issues are on brand-new models of this vehicle.
There is a loud and prominent grinding noise that presents itself when accelerating, usually through 5th gear. it can be minimized by accelerating very aggressively, but any less and the grinding noise will be heard.
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.
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.
