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.

My car shuts itself off randomly. At stop lights, sitting in the driveway, in the car pick up line at school etc. I asked the dealer to look into this. At times it will tell me the car has to shut off to keep the battery from any damage. The dealer claims it's normal but there are a lot of people online complaining about this. I don't think it's normal.

Vehicle proximity sensors began to flash, despite being the only car in a freeway entry lane. There were no cars in front of me, or in back of me, but my vehicle's sensors began to flash and the car began to break as if preparing for a collision.

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…

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.
