It is almost like a shallow howling and seemingly from the transmission. Please also note that i brought the car new about 25 miles on it and the noise started almost instantly. The vw dealership i went to gave no good resolution and…

2019 vw jetta gti autobahn manual transmission stalls or loses engine power randomly. For me, it has happened several times in 5th or 6th gear when taking my foot off of the gas and coasting, the car will choke and feels as though fuel is cutoff and the engine cannot generate power. This is temporary, and shifting again and giving a little gas eventually things go back to normal. However, i'm concerned something is…

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!
