Consumer Description
I HAVE HAD A VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2019 FOR 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOTICED A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT STARTS THE NOISE AT 30-40MPH AT 1000-3000RPMS, IT'S LOUDER IN ECO MODE BUT CAN STILL BE HEARD IN DRIVE MODE VARY FAINTLY BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. I LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, TOLD THEM ABOUT THE NOISE, 9 HOURS LATER I RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME IT WAS NORMAL. THAT THE NOISE WAS PART OF THE TURBO THEY CALLED IT 'TURBOCHARGED'. I'M NO SCIENTIST BUT I KNOW WHAT A TURBO SOUNDS LIKE AND THEY DON'T SOUND LIKE THAT. I JUST WANT THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR A NEW CAR BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT GOING TO CAUSE BIGGER PROBLEM THAT MIGHT NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.
