I previously filed a complaint, complaint number 11306864, with reference to my 2019 volkswagen gti autobahn, manual transmission, purchased as new on january 17, 2020, with reference to low-speed engine stalling. I have since discovered that my vehicle was reported to the nhtsa as repaired by vw service action code 24 fd, published on december 6, 2019. However, low speed stalling intermittently continues as i have…

When the vehicle is accelerating in either normal or eco mode, when it approached 28mph and shifts gears the engine makes a scraping/grinding sound. This happens consistently in the same driving session when accelerating with this gear change. This will happen on highways under rapid acceleration or on local streets under light acceleration. This is a great cause for concern as the sound could distract the driver…

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.

I recently started a lease for a 2019 jetta se. I started to notice a strange sound like scrapping and grinding as the car accelerated and particularly around the 20-30 mph mark. 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…

Car is brand new with less than 1000 miles driven and has either a vibration or grinding sound coming from in the engine compartment. I'm sitting at the dealership and i've been told by the dealer that vw is aware of the issue and they think it's the turbo but there is no fix is available yet. It sounds like loose/bad bearings or a bad pulley rattling. It happens when it shifts through the gears while taking off…

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 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…

2019 vw gli manual transmission stalls unpredictably when slowing down with the clutch depressed and/or the transmission in neutral. This has happened infrequently, but unpredictably. So far it has only resulted in horn blowing from the car behind, but if it were to happen when turning in front of oncoming traffic it would be very bad. I have been driving manual for 44 years - it is not operator error. This is the…

I'm having an issue, the car has competently died about 6 times. I'm in traffic or come to a stop and the car shuts off, then when i let off on the brake it's completely dead. It says something like please start car manually. Once i pulled in the driveway and the car surged up and down, puttering like it was running out of gas.
