What owners wrote

I have a 2019 VW jetta gli bought new from VW dealer. When you first start the car in the morning or after its been sitting, basically cold, it idles very rough. The whole car vibrates and shakes. After the car warms up this goes away. The ride of the car feels like there is no suspension. You feel every bump in the road. I have never gotten motion sick from a vehicle while driving. This car gives me motion sickness every time I drive it. I have had others drive the car and report the say thing.

Reported at 4,900 miles, June 2020 Fire

Vehicle is randomly stalling when coming to a stop and the vehicle must be restarted. This happens regardless of whether the vehicle is in gear, if the clutch is fully pressed to the floor, or if the vehicle is in neutral. This seems to happen more frequently when the air conditioning is turned on. The vehicle is either slowing to a stop or has come to a complete stop when this happens. This has happened on the highway and in the driveway.
