Engine Stall Problems of Volkswagen Golf

Engine stalled while stopped at a stop sign in my neighborhood on new car. Start/stop feature was disabled and I was returning home. The engine was warmed up. The vehicle display informed me to put the vehicle in park and restart the vehicle manually. This gti has the dsg auto transmission.

Engine stalls repeatedly while slowing to a stop.

2019 gti 6mt stalls. The issue presents itself slowing down to a stop, where the engine will soft stall and require restarting. This has happened when stopped at a light, as well as when in motion, coasting to a stop. It has happened on the highway, in heavy traffic, as well as parking in a parking spot. The unsafe condition is when in heavy traffic, in rush hour on rt 287 (major highway) coasting to a stop, the engine dies and I loose control of the steering wheel control and acceleration. The start stop button needs to be pushed to get the car to start up again. The car is brand new and has roughly 650 miles on it.

I had some engine stall problems with the vehicle when first purchased. The engine would cut off quietly while at a stop light and beginning to depress the clutch while in neutral. Happened in heavy traffic on the highway and in stop-and-go city traffic. I brought it back to the dealership and they claim to have reset the engine control module. Upon a few day after return, the engine cut off while the clutch was depressed in the middle of a turn.

Engine stalls. Intermittent. Problem relates to 2019 gti (s model) with 6-speed manual transmission. When fully warm or hot, the engine randomly stalls with transmission in neutral and when braking to a stop, usually with the clutch depressed and usually at speeds from 10-0 mph. The engine stalls are gentle with no stuttering or shaking. Example: coming to a stop at a stop sign or in heavy traffic, the engine quietly dies without warning. Engine restarts and runs normally thereafter until the next unexpected stalling event. Vehicle purchased new in may of 2019. First stall at 250-300 miles. Most recent stall on 6/30/19 at 1150 miles. No "check engine" warning appears on dashboard. No error codes show up via obd-2 diagnostic scan. 92 octane chevron gas used exclusively. Owner has decades of experience driving manual transmissions with no issues until now - doubtful this is operator error. Vw dealer is friendly, but baffled.

2019 Golf gti se 6mt purchased with 12 miles. Engine randomly stalls in neutral when rolling to stop with clutch fully disengaged after having downshifted to either second or first gear. This has happened (3) times since picking up the brand new car (4) days ago. The electronic display that shows which gear you are in has also reported the wrong gear once (so far). This is an issue affecting *many* 2019 Golf gti owners. Here are some notes of the issue so far: - 6-8-19 @ 1am (131 miles) - no cel - clutch was out and car was in neutral coming to stoplight in left turn lane. Going less than 5mph when car died. Seemed like it happened when the tach was at idle-range. Restarted with button. - 6-8-19 @ 10:56pm (225 miles) - no cel - pulling up to driveway. Car died at less than 2mph going up a very slight hill when clutch was depressed to go into first from neutral. Was going *very slow* when this happened. Restarted with button. - 6-9-19 @ 3:30pm (276 miles) - no cel - brother was driving with me in the passenger seat. Pulling up to stop sign in his neighborhood and he was in neutral with clutch out slowing to a stop and the car softly died again. Restarted with button. - 6-9-19 @ 11:44pm (418 miles) - no cel - driving up a street in a neighborhood going 20-25mph in 2nd gear and the display between my tach and speedo said I was in 3rd and should shift into 4th. When I crested the hill and hit the brakes to slow down for a part of the street that was damaged, the gear displayed switched to 2nd (which is what I was in and hadn't changed). These issues are very well documented by drivers in enthusiast forums such as reddit and Golfmk7. Com. . Read more...

Engine stalls as car comes to a full stop in normal street traffic: braking with transmission in neutral, clutch engaged or disengaged, near-stationary or full-stationary; braking with transmission in gear and clutch fully disengaged, near-stationary or full-stationary.

After driving the car for 30 or so minutes on both city and highway streets, my new gli with 800 miles on the odometer will intermittently stall when coming to a stop. This engine stall happens when the clutch is to the floor and in gear and sometimes with the clutch out and in neutral. It is a very gentle stall - nothing like the lurching that occurs during a typical stall, in fact there have been times when I didn't notice the engine died. After the occurrence of the first stall it usually continues to happen at each subsequent stop for the rest of that particular driving trip. The car returns to normal after sitting for along period of time. This issue has happened on three separate occasions over the first month of ownership.

Vehicle with manual transmission, engine stalls at low speeds in neutral. Brand new car, only 100 miles.

Engine stalls at crawl speeds/coming to a complete stop with the clutch pedal fully depressed. Has happened thrice since purchase. First episode with odo at around 100 miles. Second around 350 miles. Latest episode 4/16/19 at 556 miles. The stall is very quiet like if the car has an auto stop start function and is only noticed when pushing on the gas pedal to get moving again. Has never happened when coasting in neutral with the clutch let out. Has not happened at higher speeds but have not driven many highway miles. Starts right up again with no trouble on pushing the stop/start button. No trouble with the gear indicator as some other owners of the same model have stated on online forums.

It's a 2019 rabbit edition gti and the engine stalls at a stop in neutral position at normal running temperature. Many owners of the gti rabbit mk7. 5 are experience the same problem and there's no warning lights on the panel that indicates the car should be service. I have experience this problem only after a full stop not running!.

While coming to a stop at a red light, heard a slight ringing sound as the engine slowed down and stalled right as we stopped. The engine would not restart and the "coils" warning light was illuminated in the dash board. Several attempts were made to restart the vehicle as we waited for a tow truck. The problem was with a failure of the high pressure fuel pump (hpfp). The vehicle was towed to the dealership. We were without a vehicle for over a week as the fuel was being tested for contamination (which there was none) and waiting approval from Volkswagen for approval under warranty coverage. This is the second problem with the fuel system on this car. There was a previous problem with a leaking fuel rail (leaving a puddle of diesel fuel in a parking lot) which was covered with a warranty repair while on a vacation.

I have a 2010 Golf tdi manual transmission car. The car was stalled during driving, after just down shifted from 2nd gear to first gear. After turning off the engine completely, I still couldn't restart the car right away. I had to wait for several minutes, and tried again. The car started on the next attempt. I experience the similar type of stalling soon after I purchase the vehicle, and it persists and recurs quite often. Other times, also during driving, mostly noticeable in 4th gear speed, the car could all of a sudden lost power, for about 2 seconds, although the engine was not stalled or stopped. I also noticed after a difficult start, the driving is less smooth. And when the car is stopped and completely turned off, the engine/fan would keep on running idle for several minutes. And during that idle time, a large amount of heat is dispensed out from underneath the front hood.

Engine stalls, on starting from stop, sometimes when going down hill, or over a bump in the road. Seems to stall when rpm goes below 750. Commonly stalls in intersection, resulting in dangerous situation while one restarts car. Complained to dealer, but they were unable to fix problem. This is a recurring problem with stalls daily to once every several days. Has been doing it since I purchased the car.

The engine stalled intermittently which caused serious problems with the automatic transmission.
