What owners wrote
Need to find out if there are any recalls with the VW golf r 2015 model. Anything related to engine, fuel system, exhaust that would cause a fire
When I'm in traffic stop and go between 11MPH to 18 MPH at low RPM (1,100 to 1,800 RPM) the vehicle feels like shaking in the engine or transmission like I'm driving a manual car but my car is automatic. Now when going up a incline at 30 to 33 MPH vehicle does the same problem.
