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.

My 2019 vw Gti-s is equipped with a dsg transmission. I was driving it in manual sport mode on the freeway on Sunday 1 March 2020. After getting off of the freeway and onto the city surface streets, the car stalled when I came to a stop. I thought it was because I had not turned off the engine start/stop defeat feature off but that was not the case. Another 6-7 stalls occurred as I drove the car the few miles back home after dropping off a friend. There were 4-5 previous individual incidents prior to Sunday. On Monday 2 March while I drove the car home on the freeway in stop and go commute traffic there were no problems; however after exiting the freeway the car stalled again 3 separate times after I came to a full stop at the signals and stop signs leading to my home. As far as I am concerned, this is a dangerous situation and I am worried since the principal driver of this car will eventually be my wife. She is often driving on the streets of the san francisco bay area. It is easy to get read ended as the driver in back of you expects you to accelerate quickly away from the green signal light or stop sign after you have stopped. It takes time to shift the gear lever back into neutral or park to start the car again. Since I am putting in the "break-in" miles on the car I have experienced this exact situation and have gotten honked for not moving away swiftly from the intersection as one normally would on the city streets. The Gti currently has 671 miles on the odometer. I am taking the car in to the dealership today and hoping that they will buy it back so I can get my wife into a safer model.

The car is randomly stalling out on me. After reading several articles on the internet I now see this is a known issue. It is currently at my local Volkswagen service center.

2017 vw Gti 4 door. Se trim. A couple weeks after reaching 40k miles, after driving several blocks and making it onto a main road, the vehicle stalled out and died while in motion at about 20-25mph. This was after what seemed like a very clunky feeling shifting transmission for a few days leading up to the car breaking down. Car smelled like fuel in the cabin. Car needed to be towed to vewdealership in late hours of the evening. Dealership called the next day to say they were able to turn the car on and drive it. No obvious error codes on vehicle and they would do some deeper diving into what can be wrong. They held onto the car for 4 days and were not able to "duplicate the issue" so they returned the car back to me. They thought "maybe a piece of dirt got into a fuel injector but worked it's way out" after not even a week, the car stalled out and died in the middle of a main road again while moving about 20mph. This time after about 10 minutes I was able to get it to turn on and drove directly back to the same dealership with bo error fault codes appearing on the dash once again. No cabin fuel smell this time but stalled out exactly the same. They have been holding onto my vehicle again with no apparent ideas how to repair it. They are going to open a claim with vw. This was a dangerous situation stalling both times on main roads where I could have been rear ended. Children are driven around in my vehicle which can result in serious injury.

I have encountered a serious issue with my 2019 Volkswagen Gti that I purchased in June of this year. The car stalls unexpectedly when the clutch is depressed while coasting low speeds, generally when approaching a stop light/sign or sometimes even while in neutral. This is a recurring issue that started last week when the car had ~980 miles on the odometer. This is a serious safety concern that I am not in the least comfortable with as this has happened in an intersection.
