Engine and transmission have groaning and growling sounds at gear 4,5, and 7. Very loud at times. Also there seems to be some hesitation to accelerate. Vw knows about this issue and is doing nothing. Moreover, vw knows it's the torque converter as they sent out a software update to unsold jetta's to dealers but aren't doing anything to already sold jettas. Only saying these noises are normal. This defective…

Engine on manual transmission repeatedly shuts off when coming to stop with clutch pedal fully depressed. This is similar to the auto-shutoff feature in automatic transmission, but should not happen with manual. Car must then be restarted with push button start. This is dangerous when in traffic.

1. First issue is the car running low on oil before it reaches the 10k mile mark. This car should be getting an oil change every 10k miles however it will run out of oil before the 10k mark is achieved. 2. There is a grinding noise at about 30mph that seems to be associated with the gear change. Therefore, i believe this particular issue is transmission related. This particular issue has been happening since the car…
