Your Jetta's check engine light has repeatedly indicated engine misfires since you bought it, even after the dealership blamed fuel quality and performed a software update. The misfires continue to occur during startup while parked, with the problem reappearing within 150 miles of the software fix and happening multiple times since. Resolving this will likely require the dealership to diagnose and replace faulty ignition or fuel system components.

Your 2024 Jetta is producing an unusual amount of white smoke from the exhaust when you start it up, even though no warning lights are showing. The dealer checked it out but couldn't find what's causing the problem, so no repair was made. This started happening around 18,078 miles.

Purchased the car with around 70 miles. Dealer filled the car up full with gas when driven off the lot. Check engine light at 300 miles. Took into the dealer to deal with it. Dealer reported misfire on multiple cylinders on start up. Was told I put bad gas in the car when the dealer filled it up. Added fuel additive and reset codes, sent me on my way and only have used 91 chevron since. Next around 600 miles check engine light came back one, same issue. They put my car in transport mode and back out. Reset codes and told me to not let the car idle on startup. For a brand new car????? 1300 mile mark check engine light again, same issue. Currently still in waiting to hear what they have to say. As of 8/19

Codes read cylinder misfire. People say they cannot fix it.
