Ten problems related to clutch pedal/linkage have been reported for the 2019 Volkswagen GTI. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2019 Volkswagen Gti 6 speed manual transmission. While I was out running errands to the local food store and hardware store, I came to a complete and full stop at a stop sign. At this time the car was in neutral with the clutch pedal disengaged and the brake pedal depressed. I noticed the car had a soft stall. This happened a total of about 6 times. It is almost as if the car has the auto stop feature that turns the engine off at a full and complete stop but my car is not equipped with that option. I feel as if the engine is the problem because it is cutting off. I also feel it could be the transmission thinking that the car is in a different gear and not enough rpms to sustain that gear. I also feel it could be a vacuum leak which is not sending the right signals to the engine computer or something else. At the time of this happening it was sunny and in mid fifties in temperature.
Tl the contact owns a 2019 Volkswagen Gti. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while depressing the clutch pedal. Also, the gear shift displayed the wrong gear position intermittently. The contact stated that both of the failures occurred without warning. The contact took the vehicle to leith Volkswagen of cary (2300 auto park blvd, cary, nc 27511, (919) 297-1640) to have the software updated, but the update failed to produce any results. The contact discovered that the defect was currently part of NHTSA action number: dp19003 (engine, power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 300.
Tl-the contact owns a 2019 Volkswagen Gti. The contact stated that while pulling into a park area with the clutch fulled in, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, that while depressing on the accelerator pedal and after the third attempt the vehicle was able to restart. The contact mentioned that the failure was the same as NHTSA action number: dp19003. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure continued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 101. Ak.
When at idle or coming to a stop, with the car in neutral and the clutch pedal not engaged the vehicle will soft stall and require a key turn to start the motor again. This has happened several times on a brand new vehicle. 6spd manual.
When coming to a stop, and pressing on clutch pedal, car intermittently cuts off power.
Vehicle with an intermittent stall in the six speed manual transmission. Stalls occurs when decelerating with the clutch pedal depressed. So far, this has occurred on city streets at low rolling speeds in the midst of a left hand turn. A full stop (as when waiting for oncoming traffic to pass) does not occur before onset of the stall, rather the stall has occurred midway through the rolling turn as the brake pedal is released, the gear selected, and clutch pedal released. In every instance in which the stall has initially occurred, the power loss occurs while my vehicle is in the lane of oncoming traffic, with only the momentum of the car propelling me out of the lane. In the most recent incident, the stall repeated after two attempts to restart the vehicle with the clutch pedal depressed. After turning the ignition fully off, then restarting the vehicle, the stall occurred a third time. After letting the vehicle sit for a period of about 20 minutes, the car started and functioned without incident.
The vehicle I have purchased stalls softly frequently. It usually stalls when coming to a stop from a low speed. It also stalls while the gear is in neutral and coming from a stop. The stalling also has occurred while the clutch pedal is fully pressed. Volkswagen needs to address this concern ASAP. This affects the safety of the driver and the people around me.
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.
2019 Gti se 6mt. Car soft stalls - rpm drops to zero (without jerking motion) at random intervals when coming to a complete stop with clutch pedal fully depressed. Pressing the start/stop button starts the engine again and the car operates as normal. Car is at operating temperature, ambient outside temperature was approximately 70 degrees. Behavior is not readily reproducible. Car has approximately 350 miles on the odometer with a build date of 1/19.
I have a 2019 Gti rabbit edition with manual transmission. The car will stall out at random times while coming to a rolling stop while the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down. It seems to happen on a warmed up engine. It doesn't happen all the time, but at random times when I come to a rolling stop. It's a very quiet stall and sometimes you don't even realize it stalled out.
