1 Transmission Gear Indicator problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2019

I purchased my vw Jetta autobahn edition 6 speed manual transmission (build date of 07/19) on 10/06/2019. It was purchased new with under 10 miles on it and since day 1 when I drove it home, I have been experiencing excessive stalling in low speeds. The engine turns off without warning as I slow to a stop and happens with or without the clutch engaged and also when the vehicle is in neutral. All of the stalls have occurred while I have been driving on city streets and seems to be happening in the afternoons mainly and only after I have been driving for about 10+ miles but once the first stall occurs, the vehicle will stall again within 1-2 miles thereafter. On a single drive, it has stalled up to 5-6 times. I am also experiencing incorrect gear indicator. For example, if I am in 3rd gear, the vehicle registers that I am in 5th gear and vice versa. My vehicle has under 2k miles and is currently at the dealer and they are attempting to figure out the problem. The service manager I dealt with mentioned that he, personally, has worked with 2 customers that have presented the same problem. 1 customer had his vehicle "bought back" and the other, which was a month ago, had his "throttle valve" replaced and has not had the problem return. I have video of instances to support this claim, however the file size is too large to upload.

2 Transmission Gear Indicator problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2019

2019 Jetta se automatic transmission I have been having issues since I purchased my Jetta in January 2019 it seems like my car has a serious lag. I was driving and went to make a left turn and as I was accelerating out of the turn the car wouldn't go for a little while then it shot off. . I noticed that it does it when I slow down also it have very slow response time with the acceleration. It doesn't it every so often. Maybe about once or twice a week also when the �auto engine turn off� is engaged the car lags and sometimbes doesn't want to go. . Sometime I have to turn the car off and back on. Or shift it out and back into gears at red lights or drive through I take it to the dealership savannah Volkswagen and they say they can't find a issue or a fix. I honestly don't feel safe driving the car. . Especially with my kids.
