Noise on driveline 25 to 35 under light throttle especially in eco mode. Sounds like metallic rattle. Momentarily loses power at that time. Also, when in any selection except sport mode it doesn't shift down uny gears until almost woth throttle floored. Then shifts down 2 or 3 gears and races at a fast speed.
Grinding / scraping noise shifting from around 3rd to 4th gear when traveling at low speeds.
When the car is in motion, and the aisin transmission is shifting, the vehicle makes a scraping or grinding noise from the powertrain (transmission) and it also hesitates when stopping and taking off at a red light or stop sign.
Scraping noise from transmission when up shifting . Especially noticed when driving the car at lower speeds. Taken to vw dealership twice. Dealership refuses to acknowledge the problem and refused to note the obvious noise.
Grinding noise coming from the transmission at 1200 -1400 rpm. Happens when shifting from 2nd through 4th gear.
Grinding sound at lower speeds when shifting up. Automatic 8 speed r-line. Sound tends not to happen when the car is in "sport mode". Vw dealerships say they don't hear anything but everyone I know does and everyone on line has the issue too. Vw not acknowledging it's a known issue. This happens up to 40 or so mines or when shifting. Concerning noise.
I purchased a new Jetta 2019 on 05. 31. 2019 and started noticing a transmission noise (scraping or scratching noise when shifting gears at low speed) soon after. First appt to dealer on 06. 13. 19 and they kept the vehicle for 4 days. On 06. 17. 19 service manager told me that vehicle's noise is normal. I made an appt and another dealer for 06. 19. 19 (today). Dealer acknowledge sound however they are unable to cover transmission noise because vw USA issued "technical service bulletin / tech tip" on 04. 18. 19 (transaction no. 205788/4) recommending "no further repairs". Now customers are left to deal with abnormal transmission sounds when driving and unable to fix them under warranty. Keeping in mind that I purchase this vehicle because of the 7 year / 72k miles warranty. I can honestly share with you that this has been the worse purchase I've made.
Automatic transmission. Grinding noise and vibration when shift gear at low speed.
My vehicle, like many out there has a grinding or scraping noise emitted during upshifting at less than highway speed. During the noise, the car has a small loss of power. It sounds as though the transmission is coming apart. It happens in all modes but is more evident in eco mode. The dealer is playing dumb pretending like it is not an issue and even said they have not heard of it before. The car came out of service with no improvement.
Grind noise at 30 mph, diminishes after than starts again more faintly after 40 mph. Occasional hard down shifts when coming to a stop.
