This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I just purchased a 2019 Jetta R line and since day one I have a grinding noise coming from the transfer case or the transmission. It's always there at around 50km/per hour for about 2 sec. Like many others said it doesn't feel right for me. I hope VW will take action and do something about it. On top of that I lost all my radio presets and the screen has started to freeze. I also notice a knocking sound in the rear suspension over normal bumps.
My brand new vehicle has been stalling. Engine struggles to turn on after electrical system is down. Vehicle states that the air temperature control sensor is malfunctioning and vehicle completely stalls w/O power. Engine fails. Electrical fails.
The car shut off, I lost control of the power steering and the breaks failed to stop after the computer shut the car off. Now they calm the shifter is defective and needs replaced after there computer diagnostic codes failed to detect the problem the first 2 times and a test drive would have told them their was a problem but they refused to do a test drive and relied and faulty computer input. This serious malfunction could have resulted in my injury or death or injury and death to another party. The defective shifter has caused injury to my right knee and tendons. I was in park, a person entered the car. I put the car in reverse and the car shut off rolled down the hill until it stopped by rolling in reverse up a hill behind me. The person refused to be in my car as the danger was obvious to her. The only reason the car stopped was because of the hill. I lost control of the brakes and power steering as the car was shut off. Any child or elderly person behind me would have suffer serious injury. The dealership I purchased the car from is refusing to write any of this information down.
