When driving on the highway vehicle's engine shuts off unexpectedly then brakes and steering won't work properly. no warning lights came on! vehicle did not restart. called vw roadside assistance and had it towed to south motors vw dealership on south dixie and 179 st. miami. vw certified technicians can't figure out whats wrong with the car.
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.

Car engine just died while in drive, usually while slowing down and coming to a stop. when brought in for repair, a fuel engine was replaced. two weeks later the problem began occurring again. another part was replaced. four months later, the problem has returned. the engine starts to shake will in idle with foot on break. and then shuts off.
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 car has under 70,000 miles. the car needs a need vacuum pump and abs module!!!!!!! abs module is $2,200 dollars at the dealership. how does that brake so soon on a car?
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.
Hybrid emotor (electronic traction motor ) fails at 100k miles . can cause sudden failure and fire. vw does not consider this part as pzev and does not follow california pzev law.
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.
Car starts to shake epc light and engine light come on have to pull over for it to stop shaking
