I brought my 2019 vw Jetta r-line into the dealership for the 10000 mile service at 9471 miles. The dealership identified a "stage 3" transmission fluid leak, apparently the worst stage based on quantity and location of fluid. Minor shift issues noted during driving prior, but none isolated to specific speeds, gears, or driving mode.
1. 1800 miles-transmission fluid leak, the service people told me it was a known problem with 2019 Jettas, repair took 2 months 2. Heater doesn't blow out warm air when traveling under 40 mph, even after 18 miles of driving 3. Grinding/croaking noise like a frog at 28-30 mph and again at 40 mph 4. Brakes squeak 5. Trunk falls on my head unless I push it all the way up per owners manual addendum.
First, trunk of the car. It's unsafe and doesn't lock unless u overextend it open. I have been hit in my head twice before I learned my lesson. Second, transmission. It makes a grinding noise when operated at slower speeds. I am reaching 9,500 miles and noise is still there since day one. Three, the engine. I believe there is a internal defect because today I was driving a the engine oil light came on. Once I checked the oil I saw that the dipstick was clean, no oil, nada. Where has all the oil gone on a new 2019 Jetta? it sure hasn't been leaking on the ground of my garage because there is no fluids.
