I was driving along the road and was hearing a abnormal creeking sound. It persisted for a few days and went away. After a few weeks the sound came back, but this time much louder. I was driving back to my appartment and i heard some metal clinking and then saw a piece of metal bounce down the road behind my car. Part of the suspension coil broke off. This was on a city street, driving straight down the street.

The passenger side front suspension coil spring broke during cold weather while turning off the road to a store parking lot. Did not drive through any potholes or similar things that would stress the spring. Earlier this year, in march, the front driver side spring also broke in cold weather while pulling into a driveway.

I just purchased a 2019 jetta r line and since day one i have a grinding noise coming from the transfer case or the transmission. It's always there at around 50km/per hour for about 2 sec. Like many others said it doesn't feel right for me. I hope vw will take action and do something about it. On top of that i lost all my radio presets and the screen has started to freeze. I also notice a knocking sound in the rear…
