I previously filed a complaint, complaint number 11306864, with reference to my 2019 volkswagen gti autobahn, manual transmission, purchased as new on january 17, 2020, with reference to low-speed engine stalling. i have since discovered that my vehicle was reported to the nhtsa as repaired by vw service action code 24 fd, published on december 6, 2019. however, low speed stalling intermittently continues as i have experienced three further instances of it over the last ten days since i reported this troublesome behavior. in other word vw service action code 24d apparently has not rectified the problem. thank you.

When the vehicle is accelerating in either normal or eco mode, when it approached 28mph and shifts gears the engine makes a scraping/grinding sound. this happens consistently in the same driving session when accelerating with this gear change. this will happen on highways under rapid acceleration or on local streets under light acceleration. this is a great cause for concern as the sound could distract the driver and represent damage overtime to the engine.
The vehicle has a high pitched whine coming from the engine area under acceleration. dealer can not find issue and fix. vw has sent engineer out twice so far.
The vehicle is a 6-speed manual transmission. the vehicle will stall out when coming to a stop. not user error, since the stalling happens when the car is in neutral - coasting to a stop. stall out is very soft - akin to just shutting off the engine. this happens nearly every stop after running the car for about 15 minutes. this phenomenon is repeatable and extremely unsafe.
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.
Engine burning through over a quart of oil before 10k oil changes.
I have had a volkswagen jetta 2019 for 3 months and i have noticed a grinding sound coming from the engine. it starts the noise at 30-40mph at 1000-3000rpms, it's louder in eco mode but can still be heard in drive mode vary faintly but still noticeable. i looked it up and found out a lot of people already know about it so i decided to take it to the dealership, told them about the noise, 9 hours later i receive a call from the dealership to tell me it was normal. that the noise was part of the turbo they called it 'turbocharged'. i'm no scientist but i know what a turbo sounds like and they don't sound like that. i just want this problem fixed or a new car because i know for a fact that it going to cause bigger problem that might not be covered by the warranty.
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.
Vehicle will stall at times when coming to complete stop, or when coasting in neutral, with clutch pedal depressed. vw dealer reset ecu adaptations. issue still remains.
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.
I was waiting for a parking space and was placing the car in reverse to give more room for the person to back up and the car would not move. i put the car in drive and again the car would not move. i placed the car in park then back in reverse and the car would not move. i again put the car in park, turned the engine off, restarted the car put the car in reverse and the car went in reverse..this happened to me twice. the other incident was i was reversing out of a parking spot and the vehicle brakes jammed on..i checked for vehicles/people prior to backing up and there were no vehicles/pedestrians present but the brakes engaged anyway. the second time this occurred i was traveling at 40 mph and the brakes jammed on again for no apparent reason. i called the dealership and they said they had heard about this "phantom" braking" but didn't know why and as far as the vehicle not moving, just shutting down they said that they received an email saying that there is an issue with the computer chip and i am still waiting to hear the outcome.
I purchased a 2019 vw jetta se automatic with 38 miles on october 11, 2019 one month later as i was driving in traffic on the freeway to working heard and felt a grinding, sounding like it carne from the engine. i didn't want to jump to conclusions so i continued driving but it sounds a bit louder so i took it to the dealer and they told me 4 days later the sound is normal. i'm not comfortable though. i read up on this and there's a class action suit for similar issue. now i'm afraid for my safety. i traded in my chevy tahoe and that was a great vehicle. i have a warranty and i just want it fixed. feels like i'm getting the brush off.
Car randomly shuts stalls. i've had the car 6 days and it's done it four times. three when stopped or going 5mph or less on highwayy off ramps. once when going about 20mph in traffic. the car is a manual and all times the clutch was fully depressed.
On 10/18//19 i purchased a volkswagen jetta s. the next day i started hearing a grinding noise at acceleration speeds of approximately 20-35 mph. in 10/21/2019 i took the jetta to royal automotive in birmingham al. and after inspecting the car the mechanic (jamey mcelroy) informed me this was a normal sound and was related to the air intake. the scope of work said they did not hear the noise and i made them change the wording as jamey said they did hear the noise. i felt they were covering up the truth by making the paperwork say the noise didn't exist. please hold volkswagen accountable and make them fix this problem. i have read several other jetta owners complaints with the same problem and volkswagen is turning a blind eye to any repairs. thank you in advance for your help!
2019 jetta gli with less than 500 miles equipped with the dsg (automatic) transmission - engine stalls out as soon as the speed of the vehicle reaches 0mph - whether on the highway (bumper to bumper traffic), stopped at red lights, stopped at stop signs, or changing gear to reverse in parking lot or street to get in driveway. the stalling happens regardless of the "auto stop start" feature being disabled or enabled, and happens approximately once every three or more complete stops but usually not for the first 3 when the car is first turned on. the car also makes an audible grinding sound when engine stalls. in all instances once the car has stalled it requires a manual restart by putting the vehicle back in park, and pressing the vehicle start button with brake depressed. in addition to the above stalling, the car has once turned off when started remotely and no passengers inside. i have approached the vehicle approximately 30 seconds after remote start was engaged, opened the truck, loaded a few items, and car turned off. a check engine light came on. using a vag505 scanner i was able to find 01-engine fault code 15080 and 08-auto hvac fault code 1048838. videos of the aforementioned issues have been uploaded to youtube and can be made available via request.
The wipers screech when operating headlights are not aligned properly wrong gear is displayed on the instrument cluster sometimes slight metal grinding noise when the clutch is depressed (can only he heard from the outside). engine has soft hissing noise and shakes a little when the running cold (can be only heard from outside) . the dealership has failed to acknowledge this. car shakes when reversing with gas.
When vehicle reaches 30-40mph, there is a loud rattle sound on the driver side of the vehicle. sounds as if pipes are loose under the hood or under the car. the rattle sound happens during acceleration randomly at any speed. the sound is reduced when in sport mode and does not make rattle from 0 to 30-40mph, but does make the rattle sound during acceleration. during my research i've noticed there are a ton of my same model vehicle that are having the same issue. i took the car to the dealer two weeks after my purchase to have if checked out, the mechanic brushed me off and said it was normal. my brand new car should not should like pipes are loose and rattle during acceleration. its really embarrassing and i hope this does not cause a safety issue in the future.
On 9/26/2019 i was driving my 2019 jetta se with 1,187.8 miles on main street in santa ana around 5:50 pm. i was on the far left lane at a full stop and proceeded at low speeds onto the left-turning lane. as i continued to pull up onto the left-turning a lane a very loud metallic rattling/scraping noise was heard throughout the cabin coming from i suspect the transmission. i even was able to feel the rattling from the brake peddle as i still had my foot on the peddle. i looked around to see if any other drivers noticed as it was very loud. i made an effort to check on the road to confirm that there was no metallic debris that i may have run over. none was found. i also checked under my car to see if anything was under the engine and can confirm nothing was found. throughout the drive, when the car would hit between 1300-1500 rpms or 25-35 mph, a very distinct scraping noise can be heard from the driver side. this has not gone away and continues to omit that same distinct sound every time i am driving the vehicle and going from 25-35 mph. it is heard even clearer while on eco mode.
My car is 2 weeks old with 400 miles on the car. since the odometer had aprox 100 miles on it the car has been having a issue with stalling when coming to a stop. in the past 2 weeks it has stalled aprox 26 times when coming to a stop. i have brought the car back to the dealership for this issue because the car stalled 3 times in a 15 mile drive on the freeway in bumper to bumper traffic. the car is very unpredictable as to when it will decide to stall but becomes a very dangerous situation when commuting on the freeway and it decides to stall. the car is a manual transmission and does not have the auto start stop function but stalls out when coming to a stop. i have informed the dealership that this car is very dangerous to have my family or anyone ride in as you do not know if it will fail and put you at risk of being hit by another vehicle. this is a brand new car and should not have stalling or engine failures at any point let alone having over 20 in a 2 week period. the car is at vw being evaluated but i do not feel comfortable or safe knowing this situation is happening.
The car has stalled multiple times with the clutch depresed to the floor and in neutral or shifting from second or third to neutral while coming to a stop.
2019 jetta gli 6mt. car will stall when coming to a stop in first, second, and neutral. when in neutral, clutch can be either in or out to replicate issue. has happened when coasting to a stop at <10 mph, as well as when at a stop. typically takes 2-5 seconds for car to shut down. car currently has ~600 miles on it, has been happening since i got the car delivered (took delivery at 300 miles due to dealership delivering car to my house).
2019 vw gli manual transmission stalls unpredictably when slowing down with the clutch depressed and/or the transmission in neutral. this has happened infrequently, but unpredictably. so far it has only resulted in horn blowing from the car behind, but if it were to happen when turning in front of oncoming traffic it would be very bad. i have been driving manual for 44 years - it is not operator error. this is the same issue as odi dp 19-003. started at very low miles, happened most recently at about 2,500 miles.
I own a 2019 manual jetta gli 35 anniversary. while slowing down to a stop light, stop sign etc.. the engine shuts off at slow speeds. car is not equipped with start/stop feature due to haviing a manual transmission. i have to start car back up before taking back off from light. major risk of me getting rear ended at a stop light and or stop sign. apparently volkswagen cannot figure out issue. have seen 100's of people with brand new vw's having this problem.
Takata recall: 2019 vw jetta gli stalls and turns off while in neutral while stationary, as well as in gear and in motion. this happened on city streets and in parking lots, putting myself and my family in danger. unsure of issue, but documented with video footage. no engine lights appeared. this happened 20 or more times yesterday, and one time 2 weeks ago.
I'm having an issue, the car has competently died about 6 times. i'm in traffic or come to a stop and the car shuts off, then when i let off on the brake it's completely dead. it says something like please start car manually. once i pulled in the driveway and the car surged up and down, puttering like it was running out of gas.
My brand new 2019 gli keeps stalling when approaching stop or light. this happens when clutch is out and engine in neutral.
Driving a 6 speed m/t. without auto start/stop, traffic in front of me was slowing to a stop. slowing down, i shifted to neutral to come to a stop. when stopped, the engine completely shut off and had to be restarted. has happened twice in the 3 days i've owned.
Brand new 11 days old 2019 jetta gli manual engine shut down three times while in traffic. car was in neutral, started to shudder and shut down and had to restart. this happen while driving and the car was placed in neutral descending down a hill in heavy traffic. this also happen at a stop light and stop sign. all three incidents happen in the same day. very concerned with my families safety. i did some research and this seems to be a known issue with vw.
The engine of my new 2019 jetta gli 6mt sometimes stalls when coming to a stop. the clutch pedal is fully depressed (disengaged), with the stick either in 1st or neutral. this happened 3 or 4 times yesterday, aug 1 2019, after driving with medium speeds on hilly roads for 30-45 minutes. the vehicle has around 350 miles on it.
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.
Vehicle dies at stop light while idling and has to be restarted manually.
Engine stalling on new vehicle. two events occurred in one night, 7/23/2019, with about 790 and 801 miles on the odometer. 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. engine stopped running and had to be re-started via the starter button. my vehicle is a 2019 volkswagen jetta gli, 6-speed manual transmission and 2.0 liter turbo engine.
2019 volkswagen jetta gli 35th anniversary edition 6 speed mt odometer: 408mi built 12/2018 in mexico vehicle intermittently stalls when coming to a stop with no cel. the dealership was unable to recreate or diagnose the malfunction because it's occurrence is intermittent and there are no codes left in the ecm or tcm.
2019 r line jetta was originally making a grinding sound at 1500 rpm. now i just got a check oil level notification on my dash. this car has less than 7,000 miles.
Jetta 2019 makes a grinding noise when putting the gear on reverse(manual car). even if stationery for more than 3 seconds it makes a grinding noise. there is something defective on the car that the dealership is hiding from me. i dont feel safe driving the car knowing its defective
Engine and transmission have groaning and growling sounds at gear 4,5, and 7. very loud at times. also there seems to be some hesitation to accelerate. vw knows about this issue and is doing nothing. moreover, vw knows it's the torque converter as they sent out a software update to unsold jetta's to dealers but aren't doing anything to already sold jettas. only saying these noises are normal. this defective converter is on hundreds or even thousands of jetta and everyone is having the same issue. it's dangerous and a safety issue.and damaging the transmission
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 volkswagen jetta. the contact stated that the vehicle randomly stalled without warning. cook volkswagen (2110 belair rd, fallston, md 21047, (410) 401-8684) and the manufacturer were contacted and indicated that this was a known issue, but there was no remedy. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was to buy back the vehicle. the approximate failure mileage was 100.
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.
Engine on manual transmission repeatedly shuts off when coming to stop with clutch pedal fully depressed. this is similar to the auto-shutoff feature in automatic transmission, but should not happen with manual. car must then be restarted with push button start. this is dangerous when in traffic.
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.
While in neutral, the engine shuddered a little and then cut off. this has happened multiple times. most recently i was stuck in the middle of an intersection while i had to restart my car.
Check oil level light/warning bell came on. let the car cool, went out to check the oil with the dipstick, was very little oil in there !went to the auto parts store , checked it again, and this time the oil was back. car was ok for 2 days then light came on again.
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'.
My brand new vehicle has been stalling. engine struggles to turn on after electrical system is down. vehicle states that the air temperature control sensor is malfunctioning and vehicle completely stalls w/o power. engine fails. electrical fails.
Grinding noise at 30 mph
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.
My 2019 jetta began experiencing breaking problems in less than 2 months after purchasing the vehicle. after initial start and drive at idle, the breaking pedal pressure was erratic and causing the car to slam to a complete stop. this condition only seems to occur at idle, and i was told at bringing it into service that the vehicle was operating normally. however, the condition continues to exist and beginning in june, i began having multiple check engine lights for a evap leak. now at the 7 repairs and having multiple parts replaced, the service at the dealership states that the air intake needed to be replaced. my understanding is the air intake and vacuum systems have a direct correlation with the brake booster pressure. however, i returned the vehicle for service because the readiness monitors for the evap were not set, indicating that a potential issues still exist. although the cause may not be with air intake, a vacuum/pressure issue does exits causing effects on the other systems. this is very frustrating due to the fact that i had injured my leg in the previous year and the excessive pressure at breaking caused me aggravate the previous injury. on several occasions, i was told be the dealer service that the vehicle was operating normally.
Car was bought brand new. after 6 weeks of driving and approx 1,200 miles noticed leaking oil in the garage. took it to the dealer. transmission seal needs to be replaced and it could take 2-3 days depending on the availability of the parts.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 volkswagen jetta. while the vehicle was at 1,500 rpms, the contact heard an abnormal noise. the vehicle was taken to crown volkswagen of lawrence (located at 3400 iowa st, lawrence, ks 66046, (785) 838-7750), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 15,000.
