I bought my new 2019 jetta 2 days ago. it had only 111 miles on it. the day after i purchased it, i began to notice a grinding noise coming from the transmission between 15 to 30 mph. it sounds like gears grinding on a manual transmission when the clutch isn't fully engaged. i also noticed the rpm's jumping up erratically when i'm hearing the noise. i contacted east coast volkwsgon, the dealership where i purchased it. the service department representative i spoke with was familiar with the complaint. i am taking it in tomorrow morning to have it checked. i am very concerned about a new car already having transmission issues. the representative's response prompted me to research this issue and i see that this problem appears to be common for this model.
Premature clutch failure. the jetta only has 6,812 miles on it. clutch completely failed and had to be replaced.
When putting my car in reverse and backing out of a spot brakes make a high pitch ringing. also, when parked muffler/ tail pipe on the left side, it gurgles as if water is boiling in it. car is less than a year old.
On 9/6/2019 i bought 2019 vw jetta 1.4 t r-line tsi 16 valve dohc turbo 4 cylinder w/direct fuel injection. had it back to the dealership the first week complaining about the grinding and growling noises under 40 mph range while driving in city traffic. i was told by another dealership it is normal for 8 speed transmissions. also said the only way stop the noise is to drive it in sport mod , not good with gas consuption but you won't hear it. while making a u turn and coming out of a drive way into city traffic, it has unpredictable acceleration which really shocked me. i left rubber and the wheels made a loud sound on the pavement. it larched twice and i do not trust this car.
Took my car in for a check up and told them that the car makes a high pitch squeal every time i put the car in reverse and i back out of my driveway. it also sounds like when i back out the brakes are grinding. this car is less than four months old and has less than 5k miles and im told that this is normal and nothing to worry about. i am not the only one that is having a problem and with vw current "brand issues" and "lack of trust" i would think they would want to fix the problem. even the dealership said they are getting several cars a day with the same issues and that vw of america says its normal..... not really sure how that is normal if everyone is having the same problems.
2019 jetta s. 8spd auto. grinding noise from 4-6th gear. 15-25 mph. lack of power and not feeling comfortable driving the car under heavy acceleration or load.
I recently started a lease for a 2019 jetta se. i started to notice a strange sound like scrapping and grinding as the car accelerated and particularly around the 20-30 mph mark. it is almost like a shallow howling and seemingly from the transmission. please also note that i brought the car new about 25 miles on it and the noise started almost instantly. the vw dealership i went to gave no good resolution and informed me that the noise was 'normal' of this transmission. a noise coming from the transmission of a new car should never be taken as 'normal'. i have enjoyed driving the 2017 model the last 3 prior years and am very disappointed with this response and the way the vehicle is functioning. i hope vw does the right thing with either a proper fix or a recall. i am very concerned about the longevity of this issue and what it means safety wise now and down the line.
On dec 14, 2019 i purchased a new 2019 vw jetta sel from a vw dealership. the car had only 7 miles on it. the day after i purchased it, i noticed a consistent grinding, growling or rubbing noise when traveling at lower speeds. the car seems slow, like it's not shifting properly. it happens all day long, every time i drive it. i took it into the dealership where i bought it & i was told this is a normal sound. it doesn't seem right to me, i'm afraid to drive the car on the freeway. brand new car! then i got on the internet today only to find out that there is a big problem with 2019 vw jettas - maybe the transmission or the torque converter.
Random short grinding sound around 25-35mph in 5th gear or in reverse when at low rpm (1,200). sounds like it is coming from the transmission area/torque converter. vehicle in motion going straight or turning when this occurs.
Car is brand new with less than 1000 miles driven and has either a vibration or grinding sound coming from in the engine compartment. i'm sitting at the dealership and i've been told by the dealer that vw is aware of the issue and they think it's the turbo but there is no fix is available yet. it sounds like loose/bad bearings or a bad pulley rattling. it happens when it shifts through the gears while taking off from a standstill under light acceleration and at a low rpm. it occurs every time between 20-35 mph. it is easy to replicate.
Grinding noise from transmission when travelling at 30-40 mph. sound is loudest in eco mode. having the same issue that many others have stated online with the 2019 jetta, and it sounds like vw is aware of this problem but say it's normal since all of the 2019 jettas are doing this.
Every sense i bought my jetta over the last few months it stalls out when slowing down to a stop and when starting from a stop. the rpms will go up but then drop immediately. it's happened quite a few times. i've called my local volkswagen dealer and they said they have not heard of any other issues like this. it stalled out twice on my when driving home the other night it has almost caused me to be rear ended a few different times to the point i'm scared to drive with my nephews in the car. when i'm slowing down i push in the clutch and the rpms with shoot up and then stall out it doesn't matter if i give it more throttle or not. the same thing happens when i'm starting from a start at low speed. it happens mostly on city street. has happened once on the highway when i was slowing down for bumper to bumper traffic.
The car makes a grinding noise when accelerating between 25-40 mph and it changes gear. it does it in the city or highway.
Gear oil leaking between vaq differential and transmission. vw dealership already replaced seals under warranty. differential is still leaking gear oil.
2019 vw jetta gti autobahn manual transmission stalls or loses engine power randomly. for me, it has happened several times in 5th or 6th gear when taking my foot off of the gas and coasting, the car will choke and feels as though fuel is cutoff and the engine cannot generate power. this is temporary, and shifting again and giving a little gas eventually things go back to normal. however, i'm concerned something is malfunctioning and more importantly at highway speeds this could be dangerous as it's sudden and expected.
