I own a 2019 manual Jetta gli 35 anniversary. While slowing down to a stop light, stop sign etc. . The engine shuts off at slow speeds. Car is not equipped with start/stop feature due to haviing a manual transmission. I have to start car back up before taking back off from light. Major risk of me getting rear ended at a stop light and or stop sign. Apparently Volkswagen cannot figure out issue. Have seen 100's of people with brand new vw's having this problem.
I'm having an issue, the car has competently died about 6 times. I'm in traffic or come to a stop and the car shuts off, then when I let off on the brake it's completely dead. It says something like please start car manually. Once I pulled in the driveway and the car surged up and down, puttering like it was running out of gas.
Brand new 11 days old 2019 Jetta gli manual engine shut down three times while in traffic. Car was in neutral, started to shudder and shut down and had to restart. This happen while driving and the car was placed in neutral descending down a hill in heavy traffic. This also happen at a stop light and stop sign. All three incidents happen in the same day. Very concerned with my families safety. I did some research and this seems to be a known issue with vw.
