The car stalls when coming to a stop- 0 mph and at idle with clutch in or in neutral. This is happening more often and seems to happen more when the car is warmed up.

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 car will shut off when coming to a stop and when moving at low speeds. This happens when car is in nutreal and clutch is depressed 100%. This is a soft shut off and not the same as stalling the vehicle. My car is a 6 speed manual transmission.

Bought a new 2019 vw Gti 's' in 6 speed manual. The vehicle stalls and has stalled at least 10 times and I've had it for about a week. Its very concerning. I've made an appointment to take it in tomorrow, and I've called vw customer care to let them know. It happens while coming to a stop, has happened in the middle of the intersection. I see many others are having the exact same issue but vw is currently unwilling to acknowledge the problem. Sounds like many different parts have been replaced for various consumers to no avail. Most stories I've read have ended in vw buying back the lemons. . .

Bought a new 2019 vw Gti rabbit edition in 6 speed manual. The vehicle stalls and has stalled at least 10 times and I've had it for 2 days. Its very concerning. I've made an appointment to take it in, and I've called vw customer care to let them know. It happens while coming to a stop, has happened in the middle of the intersection.

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.

This car was purchased new from crestmont vw in NJ one month ago. It has a manual transmission and when the clutch is engaged and I'm coming to a halt, the car has stalled multiple times. This first happened within the first week of owning the car, and now occurs at least once every other day or so (sometimes more frequently). It has happened when in neutral and when in second gear, though the clutch is always in. The car is at the dealer right now. I explained the situation and they could not reproduce the problem and the car's computer wasn't producing any diagnostic codes. Initially they told me that there was nothing they could do. I then spoke to a manager, showed him online forums where customers were reporting the exact same problem, and to his credit he agreed to keep the car to investigate further.

Unexpected stalling vehicle stalls with clutch completely depressed.

2019 manual transmission Gti stalling when coming to a stop with foot on clutch. Started happening two days after purchase on 6/02/2019, after approximately 600 miles on vehicle I did not experience stalling. Vehicle now has approximately 2100 miles, and I have experienced the stalling multiple times over the past two days. It happens more often after driving the car spiritedly, and I can consistently get the car to have the issue when driving spiritedly. Happens at random during normal driving. Vehicle also loses electronically assisted power steering during fault.

Vehicle stalled out while coasting in neutral to a stop <5mph and stalled out almost immediately after restarting ignition 4 times until I gave it gas and held it above 1500 rpm. Vehicle is a rabbit edition 6 speed transmission -- stall was 100% not driver error and was in neutral. 891 miles on the vehicle.

Has been stalling out at low speed to low rpms. When coming to a stop hold the clutch in while in gear will softly stall or while out of gear and clutch is not pressed in it will stall out as well. Happened 6 times in a 10 mile trip.

The car will stall while in neutral or with the clutch fully depressed in 1st gear when slowing to a stop. It happened in a parking lot while coasting in neutral to a stop. It then happened three more times in stop and go traffic. It seems to happen randomly; there is nothing specifically that seems to trigger it or prevent it. The car will simply cut out and die while out of gear and slowing to a stop below 10mph. Clearly stalling randomly in traffic is a safety concern for myself and those around me and Volkswagen needs to address it.

After the engine has warmed up, car will occasionally stall even with clutch fully depressed and coming to a stop. The stall is gentle, like the engine is just switched off. The car does not lurch.

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.

Car has manual transmission. Car unexpectedly stalls out when slowing to a stop in city driving. Although restarting the engine is no problem, it sometimes will stall repeatedly requiring multiple restarts. I have not been able to figure out what is causing the problem, nor can I force it to happen.

Se (w/ experience package), great falls green metallic, dsg it has only happened a couple of times so far and I can't really replicate it but when it happened I come to a pretty normal stop, and it feels like it does the auto start-stop function but the center console will say "manual restart required" or some such thing. Sure enough once I let go of the break it doesn't start back up. I have to put it in part and start it like normal. So the car just kind of stalls randomly when stopping. Just normal stops too. Also, every so often instead of stalling it will kind of stutter to a stop. Like you're quickly tapping on the breaks or it's just having trouble trying to stop smoothly.

The car soft stalls when I stop at a light or stop sign. The clutch can be full engaged, or not but is never in gear. When I come to a complete stop the car stalls and shuts off. Some times the cars stalls so softly that I can't tell the engine has shut off. I will have to start it again before I can get moving. I have 1400 miles on a new be Gti rabbit edition and this problem started roughly 200 miles ago but has gotten much more frequent in the last 50 miles.

2019 vw Gti s with the 6 speed manual transmission in white. The car stalls out. It happens when it's in neutral, as I come to a stop (not in gear, and the clutch is not depressed).

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.

Whether the car is in gear or not the vehicle will stall out. When vehicle is in gear and clutch is fully depressed the vehicle will stall. Does not matter if it is 1st gear or reverse the same will happen.

During pre-purchase test drive of vehicle (2019 Gti se, manual with ~30 miles on odometer), the vehicle unexpectedly stalled as I was coming to a stop. I was approximately 5 minutes into the test drive. Clutch was in, vehicle was in first gear, speed was less than 1mph. Car had to be restarted. I did not purchase that car but they are still trying to sell it as new. I had 2 witnesses present. This was the 3rd brand new 2019 Gti I have tested that unexpected stalls like this.

Car stalls when coming to a stop with foot in clutch. Also, if you shift from neutral to first, still with foot in clutch fully, it will sometimes stall. The random stalling is not cause by the user because the clutch is 100% depressed, yet the car still silently stalls. Along with this, the shift indicator is not always accurate, sometimes I may be in 3rd, yet it displays that I am in 4th.

My vehicle stalls at idle for no reason. I have to restart my engine over and over when coming to a stop. It seems to happen more often when engine is warmed up. This is definitely a safety issue if you stall while waiting to turn left through traffic.

Recently purchased a 2019 Gti brand new with 16 miles. Left the dealer and within 5 miles my car suddenly stalled while pulling up to a red light. Thought it was due to user error. Continued to drive and had 6 more stalls within 16 miles. Returned to dealer service center. I was made to feel like it was a driver problem. I left the car and was called the next day that the tech couldn't duplicate the issue. I refused to leave the dealer because I knew this was a real issue. I insisted that the tech come out driving with me. Drove for about 10 minutes and at the light before getting back to the dealer it happened! car was left in the shop for 6 more days while they fixed the issue. Received the car back a week later and was told they called vw and were given a fix. Apparently there was debris from the manufacturing plant on a sensor and that was causing it. Replaced the sensor and everything was back to normal. . . . . For a week and a half. This morning I was driving in traffic and it happened again. 3 times in a matter of 10 minutes in fact. Took the car straight back to the dealer and was once again made to feel like I was doing something wrong. Once again had to go test drive the car with a tech. Lucky this is a real issue and it happened with the tech video recording the event. Was told that he needs to call vw and figure out the next steps. At some point a fix is needed or I need to figure out the next steps. Luckily it has only happened at low speeds. I'm sincerely hoping for a fix shortly.

Car is at 3500 miles, bought new from dealer. Car is manual transmission. Car has been fine until 5/11/19. While stuck in highway traffic, the car stalled with the clutch depressed. 10 minutes after the incident, this time off the highway, the car stalled with the clutch depressed again when I was stopping at a stop sign. In case #1) I was in 1st gear. The stall was very smooth and not noticed by passengers (I noticed it due to tachometer falling to 0). The clutch was %100 depressed #2) I was in 3rd or 4th gears. I was slowing down for a stop sign. When I came to a stop, the car stalled. I was alert due to the first incident and made sure to take note of what happened. The clutch was once again depressed. In both cases, the car stalled and left me without the ability to accelerate or steer. Luckily the problem happened while stopping and not at high speeds.

While commuting in stop-and-go morning traffic, my car stalled twice on the highway. In both instances I was slowing down and moving the stick shift into neutral.

When coming to a stop clutch pedal is down and brake is applied. Vehicle stalls as it comes to a stop. After a 15 mile drive, first freeway and then stop and go streets. Happened the second time after putting vehicle into reverse and clutch was still pressed in to back up my driveway.

The car has a six speed manual transmission and occasionally stalls with the clutch fully depressed, the transmission in gear, and vehicle speed below 5mph, for instance when approaching a red light or stop sign.

My 2019 rabbit edition Gti 6-speed manual stalls when it's stationary at a stop sign or a stoplight with the clutch fully pressed in. It happens while in 1st gear and if the car is in neutral. The car also fails to turn on after stalling sometimes and immediately shuts off after restarting. My car has stalled 5 times while in bumper to bumper traffic. This vehicle is brand new and can be a safety issue if it's not fixed. I have contacted Volkswagen but they're unable to replicate the issue.
