Restarted again, it stumbled, and then died. Restarted again, and then the light had turned so I gave it throttle to keep it from stalling and then got going. Once moving I did not have any driveability issues. It had about a 1/4 tank of 93 octane fuel and I had just driven a few miles on some city backroads. During the stall the gauge gear indicator showed 5>4 when in neutral meaning the car thought it was in 5th gear.

6 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2019

Brand new purchased 2 days ago on 5/30/19 with 24 miles on it. It's a 6 speed manual transmission and when approaching a stop either in gear with clutch depressed or in neutral, car will stall and need to be restarted. Dangerous, safety is a concern. It's a very subtle stall and you really have to be paying attention or bad things will happen. Happening more often now, vehicle now has 122 miles and going back to dealer for more testing. Initial testing at dealer was able to duplicate problem 1 day after purchase. It's now 2 days old! build date was 3/2019. It appears to me to be slow speed coasting, clutch not engaged in neutral to a stop or clutch engaged in gear coasting to a stop.
