While driving to work, my vehicle would lose acceleration as I press on the gas and would not accelerate right away. Also as I'm in park or idling in traffic, the car would shut off but the vehicle lights would still function.

My 2019 golf Gti 6 speed manual frequently and seemingly randomly stalls when coming to a stop. Some days the car will not stall at all other times the car will stall everytime it comes to a complete stop. It happens after the car has fully warmed up and will happen at the most unexpected times. The car stalls very gently, no lurching or bucking.

My 2019 vw Gti rabbit dsg is throwing cel light and intermittently stalling asking me to manually start the engine. Been into the dealer 4 times for p050a cel and stalling. Vw says this has been happening to the manuals, not the dsg. The cel light for p050a comes on randomly but the stalling happens most after the car comes to a stop. I thought it was the start stop system but the car asks for it to be restarted randomly.

Had been driving for about 10 to 15 minutes highway driving leading to stop and go traffic. Once out of stop and go traffic, depressed clutch fully and came to a stop at a stop sign. Engine died / shut off. No dash lights were illuminated. Oil temperature was ~200 f. Engine restarted successfully and driving commenced. At next stop light, depressed clutch, came to a stop, and engine died / shut off. No dash lights illuminated. Engine restarted successfully and was able to continue driving. This repeated 3x in the span of 10 minutes. Every time car came to a complete stop with clutch depressed, engine died / stalled without dashboard lights. This failure has repeated approximately 15 times over the course of 1 week. The dealer was unable to fix the issue after 2 visits.

I purchased a 2019 Gti rabbit edition 6mt. Car stalls while coming to a stop in neutral. Also stalls starting from a stop while in 1st gear with clutch fully depressed. Car shuts off quietly, doesn't sound/feel like normal stalling. Had this problem since the first day I brought the car home from the dealership and know of many others experiencing the same thing.

Failed water pump fixture and gaskets at 62000 miles. Leaking coolant constantly and warning light going off while driving.

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.

2019 Gti s with manual transmission was leased and picked up on 7/13/19. Car engine shuts down intermittently while stopped after decelerating at low speeds (primarily city driving). The car shuts down with either a fully-engaged clutch (engine rpms are at around 1100 when clutch is depressed in preparation for stop) or in neutral. When stopped, engine idles at 800rpm and then shuts down softly. Car restarts right away by turning key. Today, car stalled six times between 7:50am and 8:20am while driving on a 25 mph street with traffic lights. It does not shut down at every stop, and when it does, it does so with both a/c on and off. Engine temperature is normal, and outside temperature was 73 degrees. Current mileage is 300 miles, but the issue started almost immediately after leaving dealership. Yesterday drove almost 300 miles. Car performs well at highway speeds, but the stalling started as soon as it entered city traffic with traffic lights. Brought into dealership this morning after the six stalls without an appointment; service manager seemed to be aware of the issue. Car currently at dealership.

Vehicle frequently stalls while coming to a stop, with clutch depressed, or in neutral gear. Engine sputters and rpms drop to 0. Car has to be manually restarted. No warning lights appear on screen. Seems to happen in groups. After the first time it happens it repeats throughout the duration of the drive.

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.

Plastic thermostat housing failure-- cracks and leaking coolant. While getting an oil change done at a local Volkswagen dealership, the mechanic pointed out that there is a coolant leak and showed me where the leak is coming from (thermostat housing/water pump) the coolant is slowly seep out of the crack on the underside of the thermostat housing, I have been adding coolant every other week. As the loss of coolant often trips the low coolant warning if the level isn't maintained. I feel like I'm not the only one with this issue, after reading online Volkswagen community. Many 2015-2020 Gti owners are also having the same problem. The car overheated couple times when stuck in new york traffic, I would like Volkswagen manufacture to address this issue and give all the Gti owners an explanation to why their part fails less than a few years of ownership.

When coming to a stop in 1st or while stopped at a light in neutral, the car will stall out.

The problem started less than 24 hours from taking delivery of the vehicle with 16 miles on the odometer. The first incident happened at 111 miles on the odometer, 90 degrees ambient temp, oil temp 210. The engine dies when approaching a stop with the clutch depressed. Does it in neutral and when in first or second gear. Gauges remain on with lighting, tach at zero. After stalling the car starts with a push of the starter button, foot on brake and clutch depressed. If the car stalls when parking the gauges remain on with lighting, tach at zero. The car must be restarted and then shut off with the started button for the gauges and the rest of the cars electrics to power down. Not safe to drive.

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.

Car stalls after coming to a stop. Car must be restarted. Problem is intermittent.

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.

My 2019 s model produced in 9/2018 with manual transmission is stalling at low speeds with clutch fully engaged. It happens in first or second gear usually when either trying to come to a stop or in stop and go traffic coasting at very low speeds with clutch in. The car does not lurch. It simply just shuts off quietly. It has happened so far on an off ramp, in traffic, and pulling into my driveway. I just bought the car 3 days ago on Tuesday, June 11th with only a few hundred miles on it. It started happening the day after I bought it. It only happened once on that day, but happened several more times yesterday. At first I thought it was user error until I googled it and saw at least 80 people with the same problem. I have never had a manual car stall in lower gears with the clutch fully engaged. It is not normal or safe in my opinion. I plan on taking it back to the dealer as soon as I can so they can investigate further.

This is a 2019 Gti rabbit in cornflower blue. The car stalls out when in first gear when either sitting in traffic or coming to a stop at a light or sign. It doesn't happen every time, but happened 5 times over the period of a couple hours yesterday, 6/11. It has also happened on many other days, ranging from when I first bought the vehicle a month ago with 329 miles on it, until now when it has about 1,300.

The engine will frequently stall when I come to a complete stop, requiring me to shift the car into park, restart the car, and then put it back into gear. I have the dsg transmission and this issue has occurred both with the auto start/stop on and with it off. I sometimes don't realize the engine has stalled until I have to start moving again, at a red light for instance, which creates a dangerous situation.

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.

During street and highway driving, the engine stalls after the vehicle is brought to a complete stop with clutch depressed and/or transmission in neutral. Occurs with engine at operating temperature irrespective of initial speed or engaged gear prior to commencement of braking and deceleration. Immediately prior to the stall, the engine runs rough or seems to be misfiring for one or two seconds. Once the first event occurs, it will then repeat 25-50% of the time the vehicle is decelerated to a stop.

Car has 67000 miles, driving home on a ~300 mile trip, received a warning that oil was low. Drove 8-10 miles to the closest gas station to check. Oil was leaking rapidly. Put in more to get to mechanic who confirmed rear main was leaking, was unwilling to do repairs. Drove to another mechanic willing to do repairs, who confirmed that the rear main seal/pcv valve had failed. This is a well-known and common issue in 2. 0 tsi engines across vw and Audi.

I purchased this car with only 600 miles on it and have had it for 3 days. It is a 6 speed manual transmission and not the first manual I have ever had. When coming to a stop, if the clutch is engaged fully, the car will soft stall leaving me to have to restart the car to get moving. The stall is so subtle that every time it has happened I didn't realize it until I pressed the gas and the car did nothing. This is a very dangerous problem that vw is failing to recognize. For example, it happened while I was slowing down in the turning lane to take a left turn across traffic. With the clutch fully depressed I downshifted to first gear and began to turn across the oncoming lane. As I began to apply throttle and release the clutch I noticed the car had stalled and was forced to restart the car. This all happened while I was sitting in the oncoming lane of traffic which could have easily caused an accident if there had been cars coming. At first I thought that it was my doing so I spent some time trying to recreate the issue. About 1 in every 5 stops with the clutch fully engaged, whether in gear or in neutral, the car will stall when it comes to a stop. This is not normal behavior or due to inexperience. I have never had a manual vehicle where the engine would ever stall with the clutch fully engaged. After doing a little research online this is apparently a wide spread issue that is affecting brand new 2019 Gti's with the manual transmission. Vw is failing to acknowledge that there is a problem and this negligence will ultimately lead to an accident that could cost somebody their life. Something needs to be done!.

Vehicle stalls when coming to a stop. This has happened 4 times in the past 5 days. I have a 2019 Volkswagen Gti rabbit edition with a 6 speed manual that was manufactured 12/18. When I roll to a stop in neutral, the car has stalled. Today was the first time it stalled while being in 1st gear with the clutch all the way down and coming to a stop. Once I am completely stopped, the engine stalls. There is no shuttering, the engine just turns off.
