Known issues on the 2019 GTI. Engine complaints stand out on the 2019 GTI: of 179 filed, 133 concern the engine and 62 the power train. The federal record holds 4 recalls. Certain 2019 GTI vehicles with a conventional ignition switch were recalled because the switch could fail, particularly in heat, shutting down the electrical system and stalling the engine; the switch was replaced. Certain front-wheel-drive 2019 GTI vehicles were recalled because a jet pump seal in the tank could let fuel escape through the EVAP canister.
