What owners wrote
Since day one car is shaking like a boat, when I drive it on a highway making it not stable. Brakes squeak and I see signs on the brake disk.I am with the original brakes. Car is shutting down when I park. When I switch again to drive, it is completely off from itself, key is inside and I have to turn the key off and then start the car again. Air condition is not working properly VW said they have better 8 zones air condition.
I have a manual transmission 2019 jetta gli. Because I have a manual transmission, I engage the emergency brake whenever I park. If the emergency brake is on for a period of 3 or more hours, it will not disengage when I attempt to do so with the electronic button. The electronic button shows it is off, but the brakes are still engaged. I have to try to move the vehicle in order to "break" the pads away. It produces a very violent "boom" from the brakes as they pull away.
