THIS IS A 2019 GTI RABBIT IN CORNFLOWER BLUE. THE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN IN FIRST GEAR WHEN EITHER SITTING IN TRAFFIC OR COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR SIGN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT HAPPENED 5 TIMES OVER THE PERIOD OF A COUPLE HOURS YESTERDAY, 6/11. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON MANY OTHER DAYS, RANGING FROM WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A MONTH AGO WITH 329 MILES ON IT, UNTIL NOW WHEN IT HAS ABOUT 1,300.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE ENGINE WILL FREQUENTLY STALL WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, REQUIRING ME TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK, RESTART THE CAR, AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR. I HAVE THE DSG TRANSMISSION AND THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH THE AUTO START/STOP ON AND WITH IT OFF. I SOMETIMES DON'T REALIZE THE ENGINE HAS STALLED UNTIL I HAVE TO START MOVING AGAIN, AT A RED LIGHT FOR INSTANCE, WHICH CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE IN NEUTRAL OR WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED IN 1ST GEAR WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT WHILE COASTING IN NEUTRAL TO A STOP. IT THEN HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY; THERE IS NOTHING SPECIFICALLY THAT SEEMS TO TRIGGER IT OR PREVENT IT. THE CAR WILL SIMPLY CUT OUT AND DIE WHILE OUT OF GEAR AND SLOWING TO A STOP BELOW 10MPH. CLEARLY STALLING RANDOMLY IN TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME AND VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE IN FIRST GEAR, SPECIFICALLY WHEN PARKING AND WE STARTING TO MOVE AGAIN FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE'S START/STOP FEATURE ENGAGED, NOT LIKE A TYPICAL STALL. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW WITH 350 MILES AS OF TODAY WHEN IT HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DURING STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND/OR TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. OCCURS WITH ENGINE AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE IRRESPECTIVE OF INITIAL SPEED OR ENGAGED GEAR PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF BRAKING AND DECELERATION. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE STALL, THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH OR SEEMS TO BE MISFIRING FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. ONCE THE FIRST EVENT OCCURS, IT WILL THEN REPEAT 25-50% OF THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DECELERATED TO A STOP.

SE (W/ EXPERIENCE PACKAGE), GREAT FALLS GREEN METALLIC, DSG IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES SO FAR AND I CAN'T REALLY REPLICATE IT BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED I COME TO A PRETTY NORMAL STOP, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT DOES THE AUTO START-STOP FUNCTION BUT THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL SAY "MANUAL RESTART REQUIRED" OR SOME SUCH THING. SURE ENOUGH ONCE I LET GO OF THE BREAK IT DOESN'T START BACK UP. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PART AND START IT LIKE NORMAL. SO THE CAR JUST KIND OF STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPING.JUST NORMAL STOPS TOO. ALSO, EVERY SO OFTEN INSTEAD OF STALLING IT WILL KIND OF STUTTER TO A STOP. LIKE YOU'RE QUICKLY TAPPING ON THE BREAKS OR IT'S JUST HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO STOP SMOOTHLY.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 5/27/19. VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 1000 MILES. ISSUE FIRST STARTED DAY AFTER THE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE NATURE OF THE STALL IS SUBTLE, NOT JERKY. ALMOST LIKE A AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ON A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTO TRANSMISSION (MY GTI HAS A 6-SPEED MANUAL). THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES NOW. IVE HAD IT HAPPEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSED (CLUTCH DISENGAGED) AND THE VEHICLE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AND ALSO IN GEAR. IVE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT PRESSED (CLUTCH ENGAGED) AND THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL. CAR RESTARTS FINE, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS.
