Below are recalls and complaints reported to NHTSA for the 2019 Volkswagen Gti. This information is consumer-reported and provided for general informational purposes only. Vehicles like this may qualify under California lemon law depending on their individual repair history.
The following recalls were reported to NHTSA. A recall does not by itself establish that any individual vehicle is defective.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan LWB, Golf Sportswagen A7, Golf Alltrack, Golf R GP, Audi Q3, Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2019-2020 Jetta NF, Jetta GLI, Golf GTI, Atlas, Golf A7, Audi A3, 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport, and 2021 Atlas FL vehicles. The tire pressure monitoring system may not detect an air pressure loss in adequate time when deflating occurs among all four tires simultaneously. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Reported consequence: An undetected sudden loss of pressure in all four tires increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 18, 2022. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or AudiÂs customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are (Audi) 45J7, and (VW) 45J6 and 45J8.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2019 Golf, Golf Alltrack, Golf Sportwagen, 2019-2020 Golf GTI, and Jetta vehicles equipped with a conventional ignition switch. The ignition switch may fail, especially in high temperature environments.
Reported consequence: Ignition switch failure can cause the electrical system to shut down and the engine to stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 1, 2024. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 28H7.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."
Reported consequence: Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Remedy: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional switch and circuit board, free of charge. The recall began November 19, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 37M2.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain front-wheel drive 2015-2020 Audi A3 Sedan, 2015-2019 Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2019-2020 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, 2018 Golf Sportwagen GP, 2018-2019 Golf Sportwagen A7, 2015-2017 Golf Sportwagen, 2015-2020 Golf GTI, and 2015-2020 Golf A7 vehicles. Due to a problem with a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank, fuel may flow into the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system and possibly leak out of the charcoal canister.
Reported consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the suction pump, free of charge. Final owner notification letters for Audi owners were mailed on July 25, 2024. Final owner letters for VW owners were mailed on August 13, 2024. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 or Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are VW: 20UF/Audi: 20YF. Vehicles that were previously recalled under 16V-647 will need to have the new remedy completed. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 16V-647.
The following are consumer-reported complaints filed with NHTSA. These are unverified allegations and are not proof that any defect exists.
AS I SLOWED DOWN COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AS IF IT WAS AN AUTO OFF/AUTO ON FEATURE. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY. THIS HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED.
NHTSA #11362123
VEHICLE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP WITH FOOT DEPRESSED ON CLUTCH.
NHTSA #11322084
MY 2019 VW GTI-S IS EQUIPPED WITH A DSG TRANSMISSION. I WAS DRIVING IT IN MANUAL SPORT MODE ON THE FREEWAY ON SUNDAY 1 MARCH 2020. AFTER GETTING OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND ONTO THE CITY SURFACE STREETS, THE CAR STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD NOT TURNED OFF THE ENGINE START/STOP DEFEAT FEATURE OFF BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. ANOTHER 6-7 STALLS OCCURRED AS I DROVE THE CAR THE FEW MILES BACK HOME AFTER DROPPING OFF A FRIEND. THERE WERE 4-5 PREVIOUS INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS PRIOR TO SUNDAY. ON MONDAY 2 MARCH WHILE I DROVE THE CAR HOME ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO COMMUTE TRAFFIC THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS; HOWEVER AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN 3 SEPARATE TIMES AFTER I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT THE SIGNALS AND STOP SIGNS LEADING TO MY HOME. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM WORRIED SINCE THE PRINCIPAL DRIVER OF THIS CAR WILL EVENTUALLY BE MY WIFE. SHE IS OFTEN DRIVING ON THE STREETS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. IT IS EASY TO GET READ ENDED AS THE DRIVER IN BACK OF YOU EXPECTS YOU TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY AWAY FROM THE GREEN SIGNAL LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AFTER YOU HAVE STOPPED. IT TAKES TIME TO SHIFT THE GEAR LEVER BACK INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO START THE CAR AGAIN. SINCE I AM PUTTING IN THE "BREAK-IN" MILES ON THE CAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SITUATION AND HAVE GOTTEN HONKED FOR NOT MOVING AWAY SWIFTLY FROM THE INTERSECTION AS ONE NORMALLY WOULD ON THE CITY STREETS. THE GTI CURRENTLY HAS 671 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND HOPING THAT THEY WILL BUY IT BACK SO I CAN GET MY WIFE INTO A SAFER MODEL.
NHTSA #11315812
THE CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING OUT ON ME. AFTER READING SEVERAL ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET I NOW SEE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT MY LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE CENTER. IT HAPPENED AFTER MY FIRST 10K MIKE SERVICE AND HAS STALLED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO DAYS ONCE ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING.
NHTSA #11315716
CAR IS VW GOLF GTI WITH SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. CAR HAS 400 MILES FROM NEW. WHILE COMING TO A STOPLIGHT AT SLOW SPEED, WITH CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED AND TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE ACTION WAS SO QUIET THAT IT WAS NOT NOTICEABLE. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ENGAGED FIRST GEAR AND RELEASED THE CLUTCH PEDAL, BUT DID NOT MOVE FORWARD. ONLY THEN DID I REALIZE THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING. AFTER DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND PRESSING THE START BUTTON, THE ENGINE RE-STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE OFF AS NORMAL.

2019 WHITE GTI SE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION PURCHASED ON 11/27/19 IN DALY CITY, CA. CURRENT MILEAGE ~ 2,300. CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN INTERMITTENTLY/ RANDOMLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, EITHER AT NEUTRAL OR IN 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE WITH CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS OVER TWO WEEKS AGO AFTER I SWITCHED DRIVING MODES FROM SPORT TO ECO MODE. THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUOUSLY SHUT DOWN ALMOST EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP, TO THE POINT OF THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF CONTINUOUSLY AND UNABLE TO REMAIN ON AS I WAS PARKING MY CAR ON A HILL. I TOOK MY CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE A FEW HOURS LATER AND IT DROVE NORMALLY, UNTIL IT SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN MY CAR IS WARMED UP AND AT NORMAL TEMPERATURES, USUALLY AFTER DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. EVERY TIME IT'S HAPPENED, IT WAS ON CITY STREETS AND INTERSECTIONS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND THEY RESET THE ECU, AND WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM REAPPEAR UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO, AND WAS EVEN ABLE TO RECORD A VIDEO OF IT OCCURRING. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
NHTSA #11310215
I PURCHASED THE CAR AS NEW IN TAMPA, FL ON JANUARY 17, 2020. THE TRIM LEVEL IS AUTOBAHN, AND ITS TRANSMISSION IS A SIX SPEED MANUAL. ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, WITH BOTH CLUTCH PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE HAS DIED. IN TWO OF THESE INCIDENTS THE ENGINE DID NOT RESTART ON FIRST ATTEMPT, BUT ONLY ON THE SECOND TRY. THE CURRENT ODOMETER READING IS JUST UNDER 400 MILES. THE TIME BETWEEN THESE INCIDENTS WAS 2 TO 10 DAYS APART. NONE OF THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON A THOROUGHFARE. ONE WAS ON MY DRIVEWAY, WHEREAS THE OTHER TWO WERE IN A STORE OR RESTAURANT PARKING AREA. ASIDE FROM THESE THREE EPISODES, THE CAR DRIVES PERFECTLY. TWO DATE FROM THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF JANUARY, 2020, WHEREAS THE THIRD WAS ON FEBRUARY 1, 2020.
NHTSA #11306864
THE ENGINE CUTS OUT/STALLS WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. NO SOUNDS, NO SIGNS, THE ENGINE JUST DIES. CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. IT'S SPORADIC AND HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ON 11/29. MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. I AM UNABLE TO PINPOINT ANY FACTORS THAT LEAD TO THIS HAPPENING(ON A HILL, FLAT, OIL TEMP, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IN GEAR VS IN NEUTRAL). I'VE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSION SINCE 1995. IT IS NOT DRIVER ERROR. CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON 08/19
NHTSA #11286504
RE: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER DP19003. I HAVE A 2019 GTI SE 6MT. AT LOW SPEEDS, COMING TO A STOP, WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED, THE CAR WILL STALL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOTICEABLE SOUNDS APPEAR, BUT THE ENGINE JUST TURNS OFF. SOMETIMES YOU DON'T KNOW IT'S OFF UNTIL YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. A COUPLE OF TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD QUIETLY SHUT OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WITH CLUTCH ENGAGED AND GEAR IN NEUTRAL. THE FREQUENCY OF THIS OCCURENCE IS HIGHER WHEN IM IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW YESTERDAY, 11/18/2019, WITH LESS THAN 30 MILES. THE STALLING OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY ON 11/19/2019 IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. TO PROIVDE CONTEXT, I'VE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS 13 YEARS, WITH MY PREVIOUS CAR BEING A 6MT 2013 GTI, AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BEFORE. TO TEST WHETHER IT'S HUMAN ERROR, I CONCIOUSLY PRESSED DOWN ON THE CLUTCH AS HARD AS I COULD AND KEPT IT ENGAGED UNTIL FULL STOP TO ENSURE I WASN'T RELEADING TOO EARLY, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTED. I'VE STALLED OVER 10 TIMES IN A DAY, WHICH APPEARS TO OCCUR AT RANDOM, BUT MORESO DURING LOW SPEED, STOP AND GO DRIVING. BECAUSE OF THE SUBTLE ENGINE SHUTOFF, LEFT TURNS FROM A STANDSTILL CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO STALLING ON ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR ENGINE IS OFF, AMONGST THE OTHER DANGEROUS IMPLICATIONS OF THIS ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE, WHICH APPEARS TO BE IMPACTING MANY OTHER 2019 GTI 6MT OWNERS.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2019 GTI BRAND NEW WITH 16 MILES. LEFT THE DEALER AND WITHIN 5 MILES MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE PULLING UP TO A RED LIGHT. THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO USER ERROR. CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND HAD 6 MORE STALLS WITHIN 16 MILES. RETURNED TO DEALER SERVICE CENTER. I WAS MADE TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS A DRIVER PROBLEM. I LEFT THE CAR AND WAS CALLED THE NEXT DAY THAT THE TECH COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I REFUSED TO LEAVE THE DEALER BECAUSE I KNEW THIS WAS A REAL ISSUE. I INSISTED THAT THE TECH COME OUT DRIVING WITH ME. DROVE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND AT THE LIGHT BEFORE GETTING BACK TO THE DEALER IT HAPPENED! CAR WAS LEFT IN THE SHOP FOR 6 MORE DAYS WHILE THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. RECEIVED THE CAR BACK A WEEK LATER AND WAS TOLD THEY CALLED VW AND WERE GIVEN A FIX. APPARENTLY THERE WAS DEBRIS FROM THE MANUFACTURING PLANT ON A SENSOR AND THAT WAS CAUSING IT. REPLACED THE SENSOR AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL..... FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 3 TIMES IN A MATTER OF 10 MINUTES IN FACT. TOOK THE CAR STRAIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS ONCE AGAIN MADE TO FEEL LIKE I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG. ONCE AGAIN HAD TO GO TEST DRIVE THE CAR WITH A TECH. LUCKY THIS IS A REAL ISSUE AND IT HAPPENED WITH THE TECH VIDEO RECORDING THE EVENT. WAS TOLD THAT HE NEEDS TO CALL VW AND FIGURE OUT THE NEXT STEPS. AT SOME POINT A FIX IS NEEDED OR I NEED TO FIGURE OUT THE NEXT STEPS. LUCKILY IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS. I'M SINCERELY HOPING FOR A FIX SHORTLY. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. THE ENGINE HAS ALSO CUT OUT A FEW SECONDS AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE BRAKING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER BRAKING WHILE STATIONARY. I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR MANUALLY AFTER THIS BEHAVIOR. THE CAR IS NEW WITH 250 MILES DRIVEN.

2019 GTI RABBIT EDITION, 6M, URANO GREY. I HAVE EXPIERINCING FREQUENT ENGINE STALLS COMING UP TO A STOP, CLUTCH ALL THE WAY DEPRESSED, IN MY 2,000 MILES SINCE BUYING NEW IN FEB. SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF HAPPENS IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION. THE STALLS NOW ARE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT. HOPE THIS PROBLEM GETS SORTED SOON BY VW. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALREADY FILED WITH NHTSA AS WELL AS THE VW GTI FORUMS. (GOLFMK7.COM) IT SEEMS BY READING OTHER SAME COMPLAINTS, ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AND WITH THE 6 SPEED MANUALS. (CLUTCH ALWAYS FULLY DEPRESSED)

CAR SPORADICALLY STALLS AT STOP WHILE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. USUALLY IN 1ST GEAR BUT SOMETIMES NEUTRAL OR 2ND. I NOTICE IT MORE WHEN ENGINE SOUND IS SET TO SPORT MODE. USUALLY THE STALL IS SILENT, TWICE THE CAR SLIGHTLY SHUDDERED. DEALER HAS HAD IT FOR A WEEK WITH NO ABILITY TO PREDICTABLY RECREATE. NO CODES/FAULTS ARE THROWN, THUS NO DIAGNOSIS. CAR IS AT WARMED UP OPERATING TEMPERATURE WHEN STALLS OCCUR. STALLS ARE ALWAYS ON CITY STREETS ON A STRAIGHT PATH (I.E. TIRES ARE NOT IN A TURNED POSITION). PURCHASED CAR WITH 12 MILES ON IT, STALL OCCURRED 5 TIMES BETWEEN 20 AND 85 MILES. DEALER SENT ME HOME WITH INSTRUCTION TO COME BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN; CAR STALLED 3 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE CAR TO THEM FOR FURTHER RESEARCH. STILL NO DIAGNOSIS.

MY 2019 VW GTI RABBIT DSG IS THROWING CEL LIGHT AND INTERMITTENTLY STALLING ASKING ME TO MANUALLY START THE ENGINE. BEEN INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR P050A CEL AND STALLING. VW SAYS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THE MANUALS, NOT THE DSG. THE CEL LIGHT FOR P050A COMES ON RANDOMLY BUT THE STALLING HAPPENS MOST AFTER THE CAR COMES TO A STOP.

2019 GTI S WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS LEASED AND PICKED UP ON 7/13/19. CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN INTERMITTENTLY WHILE STOPPED AFTER DECELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS (PRIMARILY CITY DRIVING). THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WITH EITHER A FULLY-ENGAGED CLUTCH (ENGINE RPMS ARE AT AROUND 1100 WHEN CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED IN PREPARATION FOR STOP) OR IN NEUTRAL. WHEN STOPPED, ENGINE IDLES AT 800RPM AND THEN SHUTS DOWN SOFTLY. CAR RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY BY TURNING KEY. TODAY, CAR STALLED SIX TIMES BETWEEN 7:50AM AND 8:20AM WHILE DRIVING ON A 25 MPH STREET WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT DOES NOT SHUT DOWN AT EVERY STOP, AND WHEN IT DOES, IT DOES SO WITH BOTH A/C ON AND OFF. ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS NORMAL, AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 73 DEGREES. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 300 MILES, BUT THE ISSUE STARTED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP. YESTERDAY DROVE ALMOST 300 MILES.

UNEXPECTED STALLING VEHICLE STALLS WITH CLUTCH COMPLETELY DEPRESSED
NHTSA #11220683
THE ENGINE WILL FREQUENTLY STALL WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, REQUIRING ME TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK, RESTART THE CAR, AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR. I HAVE THE DSG TRANSMISSION AND THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH THE AUTO START/STOP ON AND WITH IT OFF. I SOMETIMES DON'T REALIZE THE ENGINE HAS STALLED UNTIL I HAVE TO START MOVING AGAIN, AT A RED LIGHT FOR INSTANCE, WHICH CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
NHTSA #11218851
THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE IN NEUTRAL OR WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED IN 1ST GEAR WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT WHILE COASTING IN NEUTRAL TO A STOP. IT THEN HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY; THERE IS NOTHING SPECIFICALLY THAT SEEMS TO TRIGGER IT OR PREVENT IT. THE CAR WILL SIMPLY CUT OUT AND DIE WHILE OUT OF GEAR AND SLOWING TO A STOP BELOW 10MPH. CLEARLY STALLING RANDOMLY IN TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME AND VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT.
NHTSA #11218707
THE VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED STALLS SOFTLY FREQUENTLY. IT USUALLY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM A LOW SPEED. IT ALSO STALLS WHILE THE GEAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND COMING FROM A STOP. THE STALLING ALSO HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY PRESSED. VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN ASAP. THIS AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME.
NHTSA #11219993
DURING STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND/OR TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. OCCURS WITH ENGINE AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE IRRESPECTIVE OF INITIAL SPEED OR ENGAGED GEAR PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF BRAKING AND DECELERATION. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE STALL, THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH OR SEEMS TO BE MISFIRING FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. ONCE THE FIRST EVENT OCCURS, IT WILL THEN REPEAT 25-50% OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DECELERATED TO A STOP.
NHTSA #11217367
I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH ONLY 600 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS. IT IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND NOT THE FIRST MANUAL I HAVE EVER HAD. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, IF THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED FULLY, THE CAR WILL SOFT STALL LEAVING ME TO HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR TO GET MOVING. THE STALL IS SO SUBTLE THAT EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR DID NOTHING.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT VW IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE. FOR EXAMPLE, IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN IN THE TURNING LANE TO TAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED I DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND BEGAN TO TURN ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE. AS I BEGAN TO APPLY THROTTLE AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH I NOTICED THE CAR HAD STALLED AND WAS FORCED TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE HAD BEEN CARS COMING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MY DOING SO I SPENT SOME TIME TRYING TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. ABOUT 1 IN EVERY 5 STOPS WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED, WHETHER IN GEAR OR IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP. THIS IS NOT NORMAL BEHAVIOR OR DUE TO INEXPERIENCE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A MANUAL VEHICLE WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD EVER STALL WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE THIS IS APPARENTLY A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING BRAND NEW 2019 GTI'S WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. VW IS FAILING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THIS NEGLIGENCE WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD COST SOMEBODY THEIR LIFE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
NHTSA #11210623

NHTSA #11229111
VEHICLE WITH AN INTERMITTENT STALL IN THE SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. STALLS OCCURS WHEN DECELERATING WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL DEPRESSED. SO FAR, THIS HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AT LOW ROLLING SPEEDS IN THE MIDST OF A LEFT HAND TURN. A FULL STOP (AS WHEN WAITING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO PASS) DOES NOT OCCUR BEFORE ONSET OF THE STALL, RATHER THE STALL HAS OCCURRED MIDWAY THROUGH THE ROLLING TURN AS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED, THE GEAR SELECTED, AND CLUTCH PEDAL RELEASED. IN EVERY INSTANCE IN WHICH THE STALL HAS INITIALLY OCCURRED, THE POWER LOSS OCCURS WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WITH ONLY THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR PROPELLING ME OUT OF THE LANE. IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE STALL REPEATED AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL DEPRESSED. AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION FULLY OFF, THEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE STALL OCCURRED A THIRD TIME. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AND FUNCTIONED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

MY 2019 S MODEL PRODUCED IN 9/2018 WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS WITH CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED. IT HAPPENS IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR USUALLY WHEN EITHER TRYING TO COME TO A STOP OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC COASTING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS WITH CLUTCH IN. THE CAR DOES NOT LURCH. IT SIMPLY JUST SHUTS OFF QUIETLY. IT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR ON AN OFF RAMP, IN TRAFFIC, AND PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 3 DAYS AGO ON TUESDAY, JUNE 11TH WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON IT. IT STARTED HAPPENING THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE ON THAT DAY, BUT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES YESTERDAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS USER ERROR UNTIL I GOOGLED IT AND SAW AT LEAST 80 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER HAD A MANUAL CAR STALL IN LOWER GEARS WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED. IT IS NOT NORMAL OR SAFE IN MY OPINION. I PLAN ON TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER AS SOON AS I CAN SO THEY CAN INVESTIGATE FURTHER.
NHTSA #11220008
THIS IS A 2019 GTI RABBIT IN CORNFLOWER BLUE. THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN IN FIRST GEAR WHEN EITHER SITTING IN TRAFFIC OR COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR SIGN.

ON 4/12/19, WE PURCHASED A NEW 2019 URANO GRAY GTI RABBIT EDITION MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM A VW DEALERSHIP WITH 36 MILES. ON 5/14/19, AT 732 MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT ON A MAJOR STREET WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. AT THE NEXT RED LIGHT THE CAR STALLED WHILE STOPPING IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR STALLED ABOUT SIX TIMES WHILE TRYING TO RESTART IT AT THE RED LIGHT - THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH DOWN. I CALLED TO NOTIFY A VW DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR AND WAS ADVISED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL (IT WAS FULL). ON 5/27/19, AT 965 MILES THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH DOWN AT A STOP SIGN. WE THEN TOOK A VIDEO OF THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE CLUTCH TO THE FLOOR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR STALLED TWICE ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS DOWN AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS A SERIOUS VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE AS A STALLED VEHICLE CAN BE REAR ENDED CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH!

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 75MPH, MY 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI SE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY SHATTERED GLASS FALLING INTO THE CAR. THE ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED AND A VERY LARGE HOLE (APPROX. 1' X 1.5' LARGE) NEAR THE FRONT OF SUNROOF WAS PRESENT. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. GIVEN THE LOUD BANG AND THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF, I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE A ROCK OR SOME OTHER OBJECT HIT THE SUNROOF.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AS IT WAS COMING TO A STOP WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE CAR WAS IN FIRST GEAR. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS GOING NO FASTER THAN 5 MPH. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE CAR LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND WENT ONTO A ROAD AND UPON COMING UP TO THE RED LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR STALLED WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE THREE EXAMPLES MENTIONED ABOVE OF THE CAR STALLING, ALL HAPPENED ON THE EXACT SAME DAY THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH ABOUT 33 MILES ON IT. THE THREE STALLING INCIDENTS ALL HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR REACHED ABOUT 50-60 MILES.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM CRESTMONT VW IN NJ ONE MONTH AGO. IT HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED AND I'M COMING TO A HALT, THE CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR, AND NOW OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO (SOMETIMES MORE FREQUENTLY). IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN IN NEUTRAL AND WHEN IN SECOND GEAR, THOUGH THE CLUTCH IS ALWAYS IN. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER WASN'T PRODUCING ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN SPOKE TO A MANAGER, SHOWED HIM ONLINE FORUMS WHERE CUSTOMERS WERE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND TO HIS CREDIT HE AGREED TO KEEP THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 5/27/19. VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 1000 MILES. ISSUE FIRST STARTED DAY AFTER THE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE NATURE OF THE STALL IS SUBTLE, NOT JERKY. ALMOST LIKE A AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ON A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTO TRANSMISSION (MY GTI HAS A 6-SPEED MANUAL). THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES NOW. IVE HAD IT HAPPEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSED (CLUTCH DISENGAGED) AND THE VEHICLE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AND ALSO IN GEAR. IVE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT PRESSED (CLUTCH ENGAGED) AND THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL. CAR RESTARTS FINE, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS.

AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL DISENGAGED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. I NOTICED THE CAR HAD A SOFT STALL. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF ABOUT 6 TIMES. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAS THE AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF AT A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP BUT MY CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THAT OPTION. I FEEL AS IF THE ENGINE IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS CUTTING OFF. I ALSO FEEL IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION THINKING THAT THE CAR IS IN A DIFFERENT GEAR AND NOT ENOUGH RPMS TO SUSTAIN THAT GEAR. I ALSO FEEL IT COULD BE A VACUUM LEAK WHICH IS NOT SENDING THE RIGHT SIGNALS TO THE ENGINE COMPUTER OR SOMETHING ELSE. AT THE TIME OF THIS HAPPENING IT WAS SUNNY AND IN MID FIFTIES IN TEMPERATURE.

VEHICLE DIED WHEN STOPPING AT RED LIGHT IN EVENING RUSH HOUR. THERE WAS NO SHUTTER WITH THE ENGINE SHUTOFF.

THERE WERE NO WARNING OR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD.

COMING TO A STOP, CLUTCH ALL THE WAY IN, THE CAR WILL STALL. IT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL "JUMPY" DRIVER ERROR STALL, BUT RATHER IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN. ITS VERY SUBTLE AND THE ONLY WAY YOU EVEN KNOW ITS HAPPENING IS THAT YOU SEE YOUR RPMS DROP OFF. ALWAYS HAPPENING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. DIFFICULT TO BRING THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE ON COMMAND.

AS I SLOW DOWN GETTING READY TO COME TO A COMPETE STOP. GOING FROM 3RD TO SECOND GEAR THE CARS GEAR INDICATOR STILL SAYS THAT I AM IN 3RD WHEN PHYSICAL THE GEAR MODULE IS IN THE SECOND POSITION THE MINUTE THE VEHICLE COMES A COMPLETE STOP EVEN IN MUTUAL. THE CAR ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. ISSUE CONSISTENT WHEN CAR ELECTRIC COMPONENTS THINKS THE CAR IS IN A PARTICULAR GEAR THAN WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
NHTSA #11283033
CAR WILL STALL EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO. MAY ALSO STALL TWICE IN ONE DAY. SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON WHEN ITS WARMER OUT. IT STALLS IN NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. ALREADY HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. STILL STALLS.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE IN FIRST GEAR, SPECIFICALLY WHEN PARKING AND WE STARTING TO MOVE AGAIN FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT.

NHTSA #11217835
SE (W/ EXPERIENCE PACKAGE), GREAT FALLS GREEN METALLIC, DSG IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES SO FAR AND I CAN'T REALLY REPLICATE IT BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED I COME TO A PRETTY NORMAL STOP, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT DOES THE AUTO START-STOP FUNCTION BUT THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL SAY "MANUAL RESTART REQUIRED" OR SOME SUCH THING. SURE ENOUGH ONCE I LET GO OF THE BREAK IT DOESN'T START BACK UP. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PART AND START IT LIKE NORMAL. SO THE CAR JUST KIND OF STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPING.JUST NORMAL STOPS TOO. ALSO, EVERY SO OFTEN INSTEAD OF STALLING IT WILL KIND OF STUTTER TO A STOP. LIKE YOU'RE QUICKLY TAPPING ON THE BREAKS OR IT'S JUST HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO STOP SMOOTHLY.

I WAS FULLY STOPPED AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR IN LOS ANGELES (SANTA MONICA BLVD AND SEPULVEDA). THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURED WAS ON, SO MY ENGINE HAD FLIPPED OFF. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO RE-ENGAGE, BUT INSTEAD MY CAR STALLED (RESULTING IN THE VERY UPSET BMW DRIVER BEHIND ME NEARLY PLOWING INTO MY CAR) AND WON'T MOVE. THE EPK LIGHT AND SOME WARNING POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN, BUT I WAS TOO DISTRACTED BY NOT GETTING KILLED THAT I DIDN'T CATCH WHAT IT SAID. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR FULLY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO GET MY ENGINE TO RESTART. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO THE VW DEALER IN SANTA MONICA. THEY TOOK NEARLY TWO WEEKS AND 150 MILES OF TEST DRIVES TO TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT COULDN'T SO THEY REPLACED THE STARTER. MY EPK LIGHT STILL REGULARLY COMES ON WHEN I START MY CAR, AND I THEN HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN TO GET MY CAR TO START, AND OFF HESITATES FLIPPING OVER IN THE AUTO STOP/START STATES. PLEASE NOTE I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF MY CAR, AND I HAD ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT.

While simply driving 75mph (speed limit during time of incident) on the highway, i heard a loud explosion sound and the sunroof had completely shattered and was blown upwards. Glass began and continued to fly off, creating a large hole, while trying to get to a stopping point. The was only very little shards of debris that had gotten inside the vehicle while driving, but had potential to put me and a passenger at risk of serious injury. No vehicles were close to mine that could have caused debris to hit the area and no other vehicles were affected. There was no cracks or chips in the glass prior to the incident. There is reason to believe that it is a manufacturing error or installation error prior to purchasing the vehicle in 2020. Supporting that, i have researched reports of other Volkswagen Golf GTI models dealing with the same or similar issues with the sunroof exploding upwards with zero cause or explanation. There has not been an inspection or investigation of the damage as is happened around 3:00pm on this date ( January 30th, 2026).

The front collision brake assist goes on when there is no obstacle. It has given me obstacle warnings before, but this time it slammed on the brakes and brought me to a stop. This "safety" feature is going to get me rear ended. I have not taken it to a dealer because internet search shows me it is a widespread problem for which there is no fix. I would like it permanently disabled.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE MAY SPUTTER AS IF IT ISN'T GETTING THE CORRECT AIR/FUEL MIXTURE AND SHUTS OFF. THIS IS AN S TRIM VOLKSWAGEN GTI WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE PACKAGE. THE INCIDENT(S) OCCURRED WHILE IN NEUTRAL ON THE THREE OCCASIONS IT HAS HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE HAS 700 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ENGINE/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE.

PURCHASED FROM RIVERSIDE VW METRO AUTO GROUP, A NEW 2019 VW GOLF GTI (WITH 465 MILES) EQUIPPED WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION STALLS EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY NEEDS TO WARM UP (OIL TEMP ABOVE 210F) PRIOR TO SEEING THIS EXCESSIVE STALLING ISSUE. THE STALLING IS APPARENT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AS CAR SLOWS TO A STOP OR WHEN PREPARING TO MAKE A TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WILL STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND MUST BE MANUALLY RESTARTED FOR EACH FAILURE AND THE CAR SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTS EVERY TIME WITH NO ISSUES. EACH STALL HAPPENED WHILE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP BETWEEN 0 AND 10 MILES PER HOUR WITH NO WARNING, WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTO START/STOP FEATURE. THE FAILURE SEEMS TO BE EITHER ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL IN NATURE, AND ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THIS STALLING ISSUE HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 15 TIMES IN THE WEEK THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, STARTING WITH THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASE, BUT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND NO CODES STORED FOR THIS FAILURE. THE ENGINE DOES SOMETIMES RUN VERY ROUGH RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLS, BUT THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 3 TIMES OUT OF THE TOTAL 15 FAILURES THAT HAVE OCCURRED. THE ONLY SECONDARY ISSUE THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THIS FAILURE IS AN INCORRECT GEAR INDICATION BEING SHOWN ON THE DASH, WHICH I HAVE ONLY NOTICED A COUPLE OF TIMES. CURRENTLY WAITING FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PERMANENT SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

I HAD TAKING MY 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI TO THE DEALER ABOUT NOW 4 TIMES REGARDING HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TWO FRONT DOORS THEY MAKE A SQUEAK NOISE AND DOORS RATTLING WHEN ENTERING EXITING DRIVEWAYS AND WELL DRIVING ON FREEWAYS AND STREETS THE DEALERS SOLUTION WAS TO ADD A LUBRICANT AROUND MY DOORS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK. SECOND SOLUTION THEY DID WAS TO ADD A VINYL AROUND THE DOORS AND THAT DO NOT WORK. CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY NEED TO WAIT FOR A VOLKSWAGEN SPECIALIST TO SEE WHAT ELSE THEY CAN DO TO MINIMIZE THE PROBLEM. SO NOW I'M WAITING FOR THAT PERSON TO BE AVAILABLE AND SEE WHAT ELSE THEY COULD DO TO THE CAR. I ASKED VOLKSWAGEN TO BUY THE CAR BACK BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO YEAH THEY'RE GOING BY THE MANUFACTURING WARRANTY.
