The same day I drove the vehicle off the dealer's lot, it shut-off on me three times; once on the New Jersey turnpike and twice at a stop light. The first time at the stop light, I was waiting for the light to turn green. The second was coming to a stop. Further, I was unaware the vehicle had shut-off until I took my foot of the brake and placed it on the accelerator. It shut-off a fourth time the following weekend while in the middle of a four way intersection. Each time, the info center in the dashboard stated, "place the gear shift in park and manually start the vehicle."

While either stationary or in motion, and no matter where the vehicle is, there is a pronounced rattling that comes from the front passenger side door, and occasionally from the driver's side as well, when the radio is turned up to an enjoyable volume. This is a potential safety hazard as it's a rather irritating phenomenon that distracts the driver while operating the vehicle. I suspect this rattling is due to a lack of sound deadening or other form of noise insulation inside the doors. This notion is further supported by considerable road noise caused by the apparent lack of sound insulation in the floors as well.

All issues written here have been happening since day of purchase, as of June 2018. VW currently denies issues and claims reports are of normal operation of vehicle. I love this car I just want VW to provide a fix. Vehicle has a continuous grinding noise coming from behind engine area when vehicle is in motion accelerating from 27- 30mph after that it subsides. Sounds of grinding depends what drive mode your are in. Eco has the loudest noise. Many other reports suspect transmission problems. Vehicle while stationary has a strange noise coming from the front left engine area that sounds like a rotation humming grind noise, usually occurs after vehicle was in motion and then stopping at a red light. Vehicle while in motion blind spot monitor on driver side mirror lights up during bad weather even when no vehicle is present in blind spot. Also, can happen when there is no bad weather. Vehicle while in reverse during rain if equiped with drive assist will automatically break stop for you while no vehicle is present. Winsheild wiper blades leave streaking marks into windshield that doesnt go away. Paint also easily chips when pebbles from highways hits the hood of the car. I have taken the vehicle to VW North hills 1cochran pittsburgh pa they stated they do not know about the grinding noise, and it was most likely the turbo charge engine. They also investigated the blind spot monitor stating sensor is dirty just needs cleaned. That's also false becuase after VW North hills 1cochran cleaned it on a clear sunny day as I left the dealership the blind spot monitor came on intermittently. This vehicle at time of report has 23000 miles on it has it drives a lot of highway. Risk of vehicle accident while accelerating usually between 30-80mph with known issues are high. Please investigate.

- Hialeah, FL, USA

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 significantly warner days.

All sensors including airbag and ABS reported errors. VW representative over the phone said it does not sound safe to drive. Dealership claimed no issues found with the vehicle. Rattling sound which is persistent after VW installed a software update for a known issue with the transmission shifting gears. While the engine running and changed from park to reverse, the car rolled forward and transmission would not respond to attempting to accelerate. Vehicle rolled into a pole which stopped it from moving forward while in reverse. All photo and video documented. Volkswagen claims this proof does not matter because 'there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. There is also a residue from manufacturing on the windshield which they have attempted multiple times to remove, and the issue is still persistent. They refuse to replace the windshield or admit the problem is from manufacturing. Multiple trips to have the vehicle serviced and continued to be told 'nothing is wrong' and my documented proof 'does not matter'.

Since day one of ownership, the front speakers on my 2019 Jetta R-line have sounded abnormal/defective. There is a huge thread on reddit regarding this issue and is apparent upon all trim levels. This rattling sound is exponentially more noticeable on the front passenger side. You can notice this defect during any genre of music if the correct frequencies are apparent in the song you're listening too, the rattle gets louder if your volume is over 50%. I took my car to the dealership to have them document this widespread concern. Both the service advisor and lead foreman sat in my car with me and it was easy to replicate the issue using the balance/fader. The technician agreed that this is indeed a design flaw and ordering replacement components will only result in the same thing. At the end of my appointment the service advisor deemed the concern as a "normal characteristic" of the vehicle. It literally sounds like blown speakers or as if they are covered in liquid! I've only called VW customer care once about this and they refused to put me in touch with my regional VW representative. I'm planning to call them again, this is extremely disappointing as it's progressively getting worse.

Trunk has randomly opened numerous times even after it has been fully closed. This has happened while I'm driving or while the car is parked, and the trunk just becomes loose and slightly ajar. Immediately after, I will close the trunk, which secures it, but then at some point it becomes loose and open again.

Forward collision assist system unabailable

Trunk lid does not stay open unless it is pushed up all the way, multiple passengers when using the trunk in different occasions were hit by the trunk lid. When traveling low speed on cruise control vehicle speed will be lowered when getting close to another vehicle in its lane but if the immediate car switch lane at the same time another vehicle get into your lane, the forward collision system has a delay in detecting is there vehicle there or may not identify the vehicle joining your lane as a vehicle immediately and may suddenly increase speed as no vehicle was detected and result in a rear-end collision.
