general problems of the 2019 Volkswagen GTI

While simply driving 75mph (speed limit during time of incident) on the highway, I heard a loud explosion sound and the sunroof had completely shattered and was blown upwards. Glass began and continued to fly off, creating a large hole, while trying to get to a stopping point. The was only very little shards of debris that had gotten inside the vehicle while driving, but had potential to put me and a passenger at risk of serious injury. No vehicles were close to mine that could have caused debris to hit the area and no other vehicles were affected. There was no cracks or chips in the glass prior to the incident. There is reason to believe that it is a manufacturing error or installation error prior to purchasing the vehicle in 2020. Supporting that, I have researched reports of other Volkswagen golf Gti models dealing with the same or similar issues with the sunroof exploding upwards with zero cause or explanation. There has not been an inspection or investigation of the damage as is happened around 3:00pm on this date ( January 30th, 2026).

The contact owns a 2019 Volkswagen Gti se. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 24v110000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact lives in hawaii. However, there are no Volkswagen dealers on the island. The contact was told by the manufacturer that the recall repairs would need to be done by a dealer. It was suggested that the vehicle be shipped to o'ahu at the contact's expense. The contact stated that the manufacturer did not offer any assistance when asked if a local independent mechanic could repair the vehicle. The contact had not experienced a failure.

While driving on highway at approx. 75mph, my 2019 Volkswagen Gti se panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded. I heard a very loud bang followed by shattered glass falling into the car. The entire sunroof had shattered and a very large hole (approx. 1' x 1. 5' large) near the front of sunroof was present. I did not see anything hit the sunroof. Given the loud bang and the extent of damage to the sunroof, I find it difficult to believe a rock or some other object hit the sunroof.

As I slow down getting ready to come to a compete stop. Going from 3rd to second gear the cars gear indicator still says that I am in 3rd when physical the gear module is in the second position the minute the vehicle comes a complete stop even in mutual. The car engine will just shut off. Issue consistent when car electric components thinks the car is in a particular gear than what's actually happening.

When coming to a stop, and pressing on clutch pedal, car intermittently cuts off power.

The car stalls when either driving very slowly or stopped. I bought it Wednesday, July 10th. It first stalled yesterday, while I was in neutral at a stop light. Today it stalled four more times. Three times in a parking lot and once at a stop light. The car had normal engine temperature. When it stalls it's so quiet and subtle that it's difficult to notice. Each time the vehicle was stationary and in neutral. I entered several issues, as I'm unsure what is actually affected.

The gear indicator often shows the wrong gear than the car is physically in, on a 6 speed manuel transmission. This could be related to the other issue of the vehicle stalling with the clutch pushed all the way in. Mostly happens when slowing down, or coming up to a stoplight.

Car will stall every other day or so. May also stall twice in one day. Seems to be more common when its warmer out. It stalls in neutral or in gear with clutch depressed when slowing down to a stop. Already had it to the dealer twice. Still stalls.

Car has under 200 miles. Engine repeatedly turns off once stationary, at stops, such as intersections, yield zones, and freeway on and off ramps with traffic lights or stop signs. The engine turns off without warning or notifications, and has to be restarted by driver. Unknown components/systems. Taken to vw service center, was road tested, and they were unable to duplicate complaint and noted vw corp had advised resets.

The car stalls randomly when coming to a stop in 2nd gear with the clutch fully depressed. The engine idles correctly as I'm coming to a stop, I depress the clutch fully, idle remains stable, when the car comes to a full stop, the engine shuts off. The car is 4 days old and has 360 miles on the odometer.

The vehicle stalls when coming to a stop, or a few seconds after stopping, either in gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed or in neutral. The behavior is not consistent but can be reproduced after several attempts.

Car stalling at low speed. Needs to be restarted.

While coming to a stop in an empty parking lot, the car suddenly stalled while the clutch was fully depressed and the car was in 1st gear. A few minutes later, the car stalled again as it was coming to a stop while the clutch was fully depressed and the car was in first gear. Both times the car was going no faster than 5 mph. About 15 minutes later the car left the parking lot and went onto a road and upon coming up to the red light and slowing down, the car stalled while the clutch was fully depressed and the car was in neutral. The three examples mentioned above of the car stalling, all happened on the exact same day the car was purchased. The vehicle was purchased brand new with about 33 miles on it. The three stalling incidents all happened when the car reached about 50-60 miles.

The car is randomly stalling when coming to a stop. It has happened 4 times so far since taking delivery of the vehicle on 5/24. Each time so far it has happened in parking lots, it is so subtle its like the auto start/stop technology some cars have although this one is not equipped with that. Each time I had the clutch fully depressed while the car was in neutral.

The car keeps shutting off when coming to a stop.

The car will randomly stall when coming to a stop. As of 5/23, the car has 1,030 miles on it. It happened a few times at about 400-500 miles and then it went away, but recently it has been happening a few times a day. This happens intermittently while coming to a stop either already in neutral, and it has also happened while rolling to a stop with the clutch depressed. It is not your typical stall, there is no jerkiness and the engine just silently shuts down. Would be hard to notice if eyes are not on the rpm, it just dies and hits 0 rpm.

Vehicle died when stopping at red light in evening rush hour. There was no shutter with the engine shutoff. Did not notice engine was off and when attempted to accelerate from a stand still, I noticed the vehicle was off. This happened half a mile later at an additional stop light. There were no warning or lights on the dashboard.

The engine stalls when you have the car in neutral and the car is coming to a stop while pressing the brake. Today it happen 5 times and the dealership is. Clueless about this problem.

Coming to a stop, clutch all the way in, the car will stall. It is not your typical "jumpy" driver error stall, but rather it feels as if the engine just shuts down. Its very subtle and the only way you even know its happening is that you see your rpms drop off. Always happening when coming to a stop. Difficult to bring the problem to the dealer because it is difficult to reproduce on command.

Engine stalling in low speed.

I purchased a 2019 Gti s on March 30th 2019 and in one week's time I stalled out 7 times. 3 of those 7 times were when I was at a complete stop, in neutral with my foot on the brake only (not on the clutch). The other 4 times were in 2nd gear at low speeds between 8 and 10 mph when I was either pulling into a driveway or going over a long but low and not aggressive speed bump. The stall would happen when I would depress the clutch, not on the release.

White 2019 rabbit edition 6mt, build date of 10/18, purchased 4/6/19. Issue began the day of purchase with less than 100 miles on the car. The vehicle will frequently stall when the clutch is fully depressed shortly before coming to a stop. The stall is uncharacteristic of other stalls due to driver error, as it can barely be felt through the car. This has happened when the car is both in gear and out of gear while the clutch is depressed. Once the car stalls, it must be restarted by pressing the ignition button again. After the engine is restarted, the car will resume normal driving operation until it stalls while coming to a stop again. The stalling only seems to occur when the car is at operating temperature. The car has been at the dealer for diagnostics twice, both times having no results. A vw tech was able to replicate the issue, but was unable to find its source.

The vehicle has stalled on multiple occasions. Most of the occurrences have been when coming to a stop on city streets. It does not matter if the clutch is pressed all the way in, or if vehicle is in neutral. It is a very quiet stall, no dash lights come on, and steering wheel locks. The vehicle has to be started again, as if it was never running. It is unknown what is causing the issue.

Since I have owned the car, it periodically stalls while in neutral. The car stutters and shuts off several times daily. I took the car in to service, and they were unable to correct the issue after 4 days.

My vehicle would stall out/engine would turn off randomly on its own from a stopped position and moving motion. Started in febuary 2019 - current - coming downhill in neutral to a light. When proceeding after it turned green, I noticed my engine was off. I then proceeded to the next light and the vehicle then cut off on its own again at the next light while in neutral with my foot on the brakes. My gas meter was at 1/3 tank and I proceeded to the nearest gas station after I restarted my vehicle. Afterwards, I went on the highway and was coming to a slow down due to traffic and switch my gear to neutral and pressed on the brakes and as soon as I was coming up to the car in front of me my vehicles engine shut off while I was coasting at 30-40mph. I was still in motion when it happened. I proceeded to restart my vehicle when it came to a full stop and called my dealer. - 2nd occurence happend when I was slowing down to make a right turn and had my foot on the clutch pedal going into 2nd from 3rd. My vehicles engine then cutoff again when my foot was still pressed into the clutch pedal. I had restarted the car while in motion to avoid incoming traffic to accelerate into the turn. - 3rd occurence happened again when I was in neutral coasting into my parking spot at my apartment, the engine cut itself off again. -4th occurence happened in a series, I was coming up to a parking spot in neutral and as I braked to a complete stop, my engine shut off. I restarted my vehicle and had it drift backwards in neutral, it had shut off again without my stick shift being in any gear slots. I then restarted my vehicle and had it in first gear to move into my parking space and after moving forward and then going into neutral to brake, the engine cut off again. - last instance was from a stopped position to a neutral coast leaving a parking lot, this happend twice.
