Volkswagen Jetta

I have leased cars since 1997. In 1997, I leased a Volkswagen Jetta. I had many, many problems with the tires. In 2016, I figured that the tire problem had to be in the past. I leased a 2016 Tiguan. I had nothing but tire problems. I had 2 flat tires and had to replace the tires. I had another tire that had 2 plugs.

Before the Tiguan, I never had tire problems.

We finished the lease of our 2016 VW Jetta Sport (an excellent car) and although it was more expensive choose to make a new one from another 2019 Jetta but the SEL model. It really was hard for me to face a bigger expense but I think that security is the most important thing because those devices can save our lives... specially Lane Assist and Forward Collision Warning. My wife (68) and I (75) have vision problems and wanted a car that would give us security. Unfortunately, it would seem that those two functions do not work. All these functions are activated. Of course I will go to the dealer to have it reviewed. But if anyone has any comments about it, I would appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

I purchased 2019 Jetta SE in June. At about 300 miles I kept hearing the noise that like many others are explaining a rattle/growl noise. I took my car back to the dealer to have it looked at This can not be normal. The manager of the dealer was rude asking me, "Well I don't know if you ever owned a turbo before but it was all normal sound for a turbo and maybe they could look at it at 5,000 miles when it was due for a tire rotation." Seems everyone is having this issue and everyone is getting the same runaround.

Mine was a manual transmission TDI. Great fit and finish, no paint delamination, excellent gas mileage. Fortunately I traded it about 4 months before the VW diesel scandal came out. It was a great little car.

2013 Jetta SE bought brand new for my wife, who barely drives the car far or hard 60800 miles. This car has been maintained like a show car since 2013. I am now writing this review which I don't normally do, but since Volkswagen USA has lied to the American consumers I feel the need to let everyone know not to buy this vehicle. The Jetta SE has ran with no problems until today. My wife and I just paid the car off and the engine light comes on, can't even take it to check the code because the car will not start now.

We purchased a 2012 VW Jetta SE in 2015. IT only had 50,000 miles on it. Right off of the bat horn did not work, and headlight switch was faulty where lights would turn on in middle of the night for no reason. Next, the driver window actuator failed. Window switch on drivers side failed next. At 90,000 miles compressor failed. A/C repair shop said compressor failures in the Jetta are so common he sees them every week. To make matters worse, all of the parts to make these repairs are more expensive than virtually any other of the rival cars. Windshield wiper sizes are hard to find because they are an odd size. About $50 from dealer.

My 2019 Jetta SEL suffers the same noise problem reported by others. It's shame because it's an otherwise nice car. It sounds like a dog growling, so we call it the Growler. It happens at low revs and is extremely annoying. It's getting worse and it doesn't sound safe. The dealership shrugged their shoulders and said they could do nothing because it's down to the design of the car. So it looks like I will have to take this problem directly to VW. For a new car to make this kind of noise is really surprising and completely unacceptable. Until VW acknowledge and address this problem, I would discourage anyone from buying a 2019 Jetta.

Have owned 2019 Jetta for 5 weeks. First week was fine. 2nd week I noticed an audible noise coming from the transmission. (Like a grinding noise) when driving in standard mode. It has gotten worse in the past 2 weeks. I took the car in to local VW dealer. We took it for a test drive and technician said he does hear and feel it. I waited 2 more hours for service mgr to come tell me it's normal??? WTF? I'm sorry, but a brand new car does NOT make strange noises in the 20-30mph range).

So I bought a Jetta 2019 automatic Execline, a lease for 4 years to be exact. After 380 km I started noticing oil spills in my driveway. It ended up being transmission oil because some seals were damaged or something (yes the car is 100% new), they got the new seals and replaced them in few days. Now it has been exactly 27 days that I am waiting for my car. They told me they are waiting for the specific transmission oil. They could not tell me the serial number of the oil or any other details other than *the special oil*. I've also called Volkswagen Canada and they couldn't help me more other than tell me to wait.

2019 Jetta - First VW. I really like the car overall and the MPG is a relief, but like I've seen two other drivers note thus far, it makes a horrible and impossible to ignore sound at around 25 MPH. It sounds like a frog croaking to me, so I've nicknamed it the frog. Dealership says it can't find anything wrong and that other 2019s on the lot make the same noise. I'm the opposite of a car expert, but I've managed to isolate it to driving slow to medium and when in automatic mode. Drive it in manual and you won't get the noise. Do what you want with that. It also makes a much milder version of the noise at around 40 MPH. Add that to a less than pleasurable purchase experience, and a dealership that we had to convince to give us a car to drive (a dang Hertz Versa, people) while they spent a couple of weeks to investigate this noise, and VW should high-five itself for getting a two-star rating out of me.

I have owned a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta SEL for about 2 weeks now. Overall I am very satisfied with everything. The interior is phenomenal and infotainment Center. I have 2 complaints. The plastic interior trim scratches very easily even with a microfiber towel. And most importantly around 30 miles an hour it makes a weird noise. And I've noticed one other review on here about the same problem. I'm wondering if it's a transmission issue or if it's just normal.

I bought a 2019 VW Jetta for my daughter on 7/28/18 at VW Rick Case Honda in Weston Fl; within the first few days of driving, it started making a rattling noise when shifting gears at approximately 26-29 miles per hour when driving softly (I believe it is the 3rd gear). I tried to recreate the same sound in other gears but couldn’t, it just happens around that speed/gear. I took my car to the dealer to get it checked; I drove the car with the technician (Daniel) and I showed them the noise. Daniel took it to the shop and after connecting it to the scanner and calling VW experts he and the service manager (Walter) told me that the car was OK and that the sound was normal; they told me they drove other cars and found the same noise.

This 2014 VW Jetta is a very reliable car. It has taken me on numerous road trips with no problem at all. It is great on gas mileage all around. I love my Volkswagen. Overall, many of the other cars I looked at were way beyond my budget. They were expensive and gas guzzlers. The Volkswagen is great, easy to maintenance. This car is perfect and affordable.

I've had a good experience overall with the VW Jetta, it's pretty reliable and feels really sturdy and solid to drive unlike other cars I've driven before (Toyota Corolla, Honda CIVIC, etc). Good reputation of German engineering, attractive form factor, there was a pretty good price on it at a dealer near me which made it a ridiculously good deal compared to other similar models. It was right before Bluetooth became basically standard, which is okay since I don't use my phone in the car and just used an aux cable instead. However, now that phone manufacturers are removing headphone jacks, this is actually a pretty annoying problem.

Love Volkswagen; there is no better car out there in my opinion. It's a very loyal and reliable brand. High quality vehicles and beautifully engineered. My Volkswagen Jetta rides and drives beautiful. It feels like I'm floating while I drive. That's how smooth it is. The dashboard is sleek and technologically advanced. I love the outside and the interior and the rims as well. As perfect as I think my car is (and I have tried many cars throughout the years), I wish there are more ports or outlets in the car so I can charge more.

Love this car! It is in our price range. It has sleek interior, beautiful exterior, comfortable front and back seats and plenty of room in the front and back. I love the feel of the clutch and shifting as well. I also like the look of the interior and exterior, large trunk, and safety features including airbags on the sides and back seat. However, the back seat can't fit a toddler seat in the middle with enough room for my older children on the window seats.

My VW Jetta has been very reliable and resilient and it works great in all seasons. And when I have had to make repairs, they have been minimal and not too expensive for a foreign car. The car is roomy enough to comfortably drive others considerable distances and it gets great gas mileage. I liked the heated seats and the sun and moonroof. I also like the pickup of the engine and how stylish it is. But the car should come with a more compatible iPod input.

The Volkswagen Jetta is a nice car and I have driven it for around three or four years now. I have had a pretty positive experience with this vehicle. It has seat warmers that work very well when it is cold outside. It is also automatic. I would not have purchased this vehicle if it were not automatic. There are only a couple of car charger plugs available though and they aren't easy to reach. One of the chargers actually died and had to be replaced. Also, the gas pedal is extremely sensitive compared to other similar vehicles. Nice, affordable car with a few quirks.

My overall experience with my Jetta has been amazing and perplexing. Seats grip riders in. Love the interior design of the cabin espically from the drivers vantage point. Have no complaints about the car. Love the ability to hold 5 passengers and the two circle design of the dashboard gauge. Lovely engine that purrs. Price was reasonable and the mileage per gallon is good for a subcompact car. Michelin wheels are great performance package. Passengers also experience a great rider. Wheelbase is average for subcompact cars. Visibility from drivers view is exceptional.

The 2014 Volkswagen Jetta is comfortable for our family. Our kids have plenty of room and we have plenty of leg room up front. We like to drive around at night with the windows down as a family and just listen to music. My husband really like Volkswagens and he loves his sun roof.

It's hard to tell how much of the depreciation (15k plus) we experienced is due to VW brand deterioration or the loss of the of luster from sedan models in general. When we bought our 2015 VW Turbo Sport model it seemed like a good idea, We clearly overpaid and overloaded it with upgrades. We never expected it to depreciate to nearly nothing, and it did! After all, VW German resale... how could we go wrong? It's really odd because we just got back from a cruise that included two stops in Germany...

A good starter car (Volkswagen Jetta), but if these go wrong it's extremely expensive. These cars also overuse soy wiring so parking outside in an area with rodents is an absolutely no no! My car, personally, has been chewed up 4 or 5 times now.

We wanted a manual transmission, and VW Jetta still produces a good amount of them. That being said, the car is not nearly as fun to drive as I had hoped. I like the car, but I'm not in love with it.

VW Jetta is mainly reliable. DMF changed at 120k miles - niggles with door locking/window motors and ignition lock failed at 125k - excellent engine (diesel 2.0L). Great fuel consumption. 50 mpg+.

While being a Volkswagen owner prior to the purchase of my new 2017 Jetta sedan... I specifically was drawn to the Jetta again for reliability, gas mileage and all around seasonal weather ability. Unfortunately Volkswagen has fallen short of the seasonal reliability this winter season by adding the traction control option that is permanent and automatically comes on. There is no way to remove this option which has lead me 9 of 10 times unable to drive up my driveway, while having snow tires and a manual transmission... This has never happen prior to this... I have never felt such frustration with a vehicle. This permanent traction control that automatically engages on it own... Deters me to NEVER purchasing a VW again that has this permanent traction control option. I'm so disappointed as this was never the case with my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta sedan.

So I got my 2014 Jetta on a lease back in Sept 2014 with only 14 miles on the car. Only about 2 years into my lease the check engine light came on and my engine was misfiring. Thankfully I was still covered by the 3/36,000 mile warranty (barely). They had to replace a coil in the engine (and VW was aware of this issue, but no recall that I am aware of).

I'm like this car 2011 VW Jetta SE 2.5 L turbo as Drive... As car is production line vs Quality that bad. First VW mechanic they don't know what problem is. Always charge you 400 buck and still problem need by fix. Buy extra warranty sec, not much information on like how fix little stuff like Fuse. Actually today check engine come out blinking is 16°F at North Jersey. I'm can't find ** online. What I'm can to do. Next car is Lease.

I was the owner of a 2014 VW Jetta TDI, one of the models covered by the emissions scandal, and it was sold in February of 2015. The claim documentation package was prepared and mailed to the group processing the packages in 2016 before the cutoff date. When nothing was heard from them, I checked the online claim portal only to be told no claim was possible because it was after the cutoff date. Nevertheless, their helpline asked me to FAX the documentation and I did. They still denied the claim. I requested an appeal because my hardcopy submission was made prior to the cutoff date. Their answer? Denied. They requested hardcopy be sent prior to a specific date. The package was sent. They deny receiving it. They deny the claim. Their malfeasance saved them a bit of money on the claim but it also cost them a customer and anyone willing to listen to how they treated this one.

The low amount of the warranty is a sign of no belief in the product that you are selling. Any vehicle that is before the 2018 models only have a 3/36000 model warranty. The new 2018 models are offered at a 7 year or 60000 mile warranty. This is my first VW JETTA and probably my last. I don’t like a KIA but they offer a 10 year 100000 mile warranty. That tells me that they will stand behind a product that they are selling and believe it will last. Most of the vehicle manufacturers are going to a longer manufacture warranty because they believe they make a better product then the next one.

I purchase a Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid used from VW in Orland Park Illinois and it was used. Been having nothing but trouble with it. Seems that the dealership does not inspect their vehicle when they come in. Already the tires were bad. Had trouble with transmission. The sunroof its need a tune up and the computer was upgraded and wiped out my digital speedometer and the manual shifter so I don't know what gear I am in when shifting, and the front end alignment need to be done, a lot of other things. I think you get the drift. Went and seen a Manager there and he gave me to a sale man just to get rid of me.
