3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

The vehicle is a 6-speed manual transmission. The vehicle will stall out when coming to a stop. Not user error, since the stalling happens when the car is in neutral - coasting to a stop. Stall out is very soft - akin to just shutting off the engine. This happens nearly every stop after running the car for about 15 minutes. This phenomenon is repeatable and extremely unsafe.

2019 vw gli manual transmission stalls unpredictably when slowing down with the clutch depressed and/or the transmission in neutral. This has happened infrequently, but unpredictably. So far it has only resulted in horn blowing from the car behind, but if it were to happen when turning in front of oncoming traffic it would be very bad. I have been driving manual for 44 years - it is not operator error. This is the same issue as odi dp 19-003. Started at very low miles, happened most recently at about 2,500 miles.

This is a brand new manual transmission Jetta gli with only 160 miles.

I restarted the car, drove to a stoplight about a minute away and after coming to a stop at that light the car stalled again. Was able to restart the vehicle once again and drive off. This is a very dangerous situation if the car was to stall in the middle of a turn or at high speed on an expressway.

18 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

The problem is with my 2019 manual transmission gli. Even when the clutch is engaged, (foot on the clutch) and the car is coming to a halt, the car stops/stalls. This issue occurs randomly, but once it starts, it keeps happening, until randomly the issue stops showing up. Because of the apparent randomness of when the issue shows up, I have not been able to convince the service folks.

19 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2019

My manual transmission-equipped 2019 Jetta gli (2. 0t) stalls at slow speeds and at stop lights despite the clutch pedal fully engaged ("to the floor") or the vehicle coasting in neutral. I have had the car for three days and in two of those days, the vehicle has stalled while driving through city streets and at stop lights. The first occurrence happen at approximately 100 miles on the odometer, with the second at around 120 miles. The vehicle showed no preemptive signs of a stall, and necessitated a full re-igntiion of the engine in order to proceed out of traffic. A quick search of "2019 Jetta gli/gti stalling issue" returns a large list of identical occurrences with manual transmissions in 2019-built engines/drivetrains.

20 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2019

Vehicle is randomly stalling when coming to a stop and the vehicle must be restarted. This happens regardless of whether the vehicle is in gear, if the clutch is fully pressed to the floor, or if the vehicle is in neutral. This seems to happen more frequently when the air conditioning is turned on. The vehicle is either slowing to a stop or has come to a complete stop when this happens. This has happened on the highway and in the driveway. I am afraid this will happen in the middle of an intersection and cause an accident.
