When putting my car in reverse and backing out of a spot brakes make a high pitch ringing. Also, when parked muffler/ tail pipe on the left side, it gurgles as if water is boiling in it. Car is less than a year old.

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.

While driving about 70mph on the highway, car in motion, going straight, not turning, i hear a loud pop. The sound was similar to a gun shot. In fact, it was so loud it startled me, causing me to swerve to the left, almost hitting the car in the lane to the left of me. I frantically looked around the oustside of my car, and noticed the sound of wind above my head was loud and then saw broken glass all over the…

I have the 2019 jetta sel premium that includes the beats audio system upgrade. The speakers rattle and sound blown starting at just below 50% volume. I am at the dealer and they are inspecting the issue. There are many complaints of this on public forums. It seems as if the stereo head unit is too powerful for the speakers or is improperly allocating power to the speakers instead of the subwoofer. It is definitely…

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.

When grabbing things from inside the vehicle through an open window, pushing your body against the door with keys in a pocket may cost the vehicle to think that you are pushing on the door lock button and hence closing the windows when you are retrieving things inside and the windows take too long of a time to sense that something is blocking the windows and hurt whoever is retrieving items.

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…

On very cold days (below 10 degrees f), the car does not produce heat. My wife drove it 20+ minutes without the temperature gauge ever moving. This problem poses a safety threat because of inability to defrost the front windshield, and threat of hypothermia. The dealer acknowledged the issue as a common problem but did not do anything to correct the problem because they were unable to duplicate the problem on…
