Jetta SE 1.4L I4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

I have taken my Jetta to the dealer twice now for them to tell me that they can't find a problem with my transmission. These 8 speed automatics have issues with grinding, leaking, and slipping at higher mileage. Yet VW doesn't claim responsibility. My manual for my Jetta says automatic transmission needs a service every 80,000 but I didn't even make it to 65,000 before it started kicking and slipping. It has also been grinding in low speed, with a low load in the transmission. I just wish they could own up to this. I am still a big VW fan, I love their cars that's why I bought this one in the first place. But this Transmission issue is really making me lose my love of them. Everything else about it is great, I just need my transmission fixed to how it should have been originally.

Jetta SEL 1.4L Tsi

My 2019 Jetta SEL seems to slip through gears at low speeds with very jerky shifts, especially when downshifting as I come to a traffic light.

Car has slipped into neutral 4 times now while driving. Twice it totally stopped in the road and made a grinding like noise as I was pressing on the gas. The other two times I was able to coast to somewhere safe. All times I have to put it into park real quick then drive again.

It also accelerates extra slow and lags a bit.

I have taken it in 3 times and keep getting the run around and NO help. I am once again sent off driving it. Customer care won't do anything either to help.
