I JUST HAD MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS, THIS CAN'T HAPPEN TO ME, NOT AGAIN... THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS WHEN SLOWING DOWN. I CAN FEEL A SMALL JUMP WHEN DRIVING. IT'S LIKE A SMALL RESISTANCE AND THEN IT JUST LETS GO AND JUMPS. IT ONLY HAS 15K MILES AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY OR REPAIR A BRAND NEW CAR!, THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ON A BRAND NEW CAR!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2019 MANUAL TRANSMISSION GLI. EVEN WHEN THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED, (FOOT ON THE CLUTCH) AND THE CAR IS COMING TO A HALT, THE CAR STOPS/STALLS. THIS ISSUE OCCURS RANDOMLY, BUT ONCE IT STARTS, IT KEEPS HAPPENING, UNTIL RANDOMLY THE ISSUE STOPS SHOWING UP. BECAUSE OF THE APPARENT RANDOMNESS OF WHEN THE ISSUE SHOWS UP, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONVINCE THE SERVICE FOLKS.

THE SAME DAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE DEALER'S LOT, IT SHUT-OFF ON ME THREE TIMES; ONCE ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE AND TWICE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME AT THE STOP LIGHT, I WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE SECOND WAS COMING TO A STOP. FURTHER, I WAS UNAWARE THE VEHICLE HAD SHUT-OFF UNTIL I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND PLACED IT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT SHUT-OFF A FOURTH TIME THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION. EACH TIME, THE INFO CENTER IN THE DASHBOARD STATED, "PLACE THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK AND MANUALLY START THE VEHICLE."

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE VW AND MY NEW (2019) VW JETTA 1.4T SEL. I PURCHASED IT IN 2018 AND IT'S CURRENTLY GOT JUST OVER 13K MILES ON IT. MY DAD DROVE IT THE OTHER DAY AND ASKED ME WHAT THE "GROWLING" NOISE WAS COMING WHEN HE ACCELERATED UNDER LOW POWER/ LIGHT LOAD (SWEET SPOT HAPPENING ABOUT 28-33 MPH). I NOTICED IT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT FIGURED IT WAS NORMAL. WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE, I SEE THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TOO. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS REALLY A PROBLEM THAT MIGHT GET WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME ACCELERATION HAPPENS. I REALLY DO LOVE THIS CAR!

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.

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.

I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SE ONE WEEK AGO FROM OURISMAN VOLKSWAGEN OF LAUREL IN LAUREL, MARYLAND. I HAVE NOTICED A GRINDING/SCRATCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR WHEN DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS, REGARDLESS OF HOW EASY OR HARD I GO ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS HAPPENS ON FREEWAYS AND SMALL ROADS. I STARTED NOTICING THESE ISSUES EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAD UNDER 100 MILES ON IT, AND I STILL ONLY HAVE AROUND 500 MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE END OF MY WORK WEEK WHEN I HAVE TIME. HOWEVER, FROM WHAT I'VE READ, VW IS REFUSING MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE HELP AND DOESN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM TO THEM, CLAIMING THAT THE NOISE IS "NORMAL." HOWEVER, THERE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE VOLKSWAGEN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SHOW THEM ACKNOWLEDGING THAT IT ISN'T NORMAL. IT IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY ARE SELLING BRAND NEW CARS TO CONSUMERS WITH THESE VITAL ISSUES THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADDRESS. THIS IS FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS. I AM STILL BAFFLED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN ENDLESS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS YET THE NHTSA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING YET.
