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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRUNK LID DOES NOT STAY OPEN UNLESS IT IS PUSHED UP ALL THE WAY, MULTIPLE PASSENGERS WHEN USING THE TRUNK IN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WERE HIT BY THE TRUNK LID. WHEN TRAVELING LOW SPEED ON CRUISE CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED WILL BE LOWERED WHEN GETTING CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ITS LANE BUT IF THE IMMEDIATE CAR SWITCH LANE AT THE SAME TIME ANOTHER VEHICLE GET INTO YOUR LANE, THE FORWARD COLLISION SYSTEM HAS A DELAY IN DETECTING IS THERE VEHICLE THERE OR MAY NOT IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE JOINING YOUR LANE AS A VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND MAY SUDDENLY INCREASE SPEED AS NO VEHICLE WAS DETECTED AND RESULT IN A REAR-END COLLISION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY VOLKSWAGEN OF SPRINGFIELD (6601 BACKLICK RD, SPRINGFIELD, VA 22150, (703) 544-2973), BUT AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL FAULTY. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE COULD NOT EXCHANGE HIS VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK IF THE VEHICLE COULD BE EXCHANGED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS TAPPED OR FULLY PRESSED. AS SOON AS THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED THE CAR RESUMES THE PREVIOUS SET SPEED. THIS BEHAVIOR WHICH IS INCONSISTENT WITH ANY STANDARD VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN CREATES AN UNSAFE SITUATION IF THE CAR IS IN CRUISE, APPROACHING A SLOWER CAR, AND THE SPEED IS DECREASES BY COASTING. UPON RE-ENGAGING, THE CAR SPEEDS UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
