2019 Volkswagen GTI complaints

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. THIS IS AN ISSUE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE BRAND NEW 2019 RABBIT EDITION GTI'S ARE HAVING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HERE IS A LINK TO THE FORUMS OF EVIDENCE THAT IT AS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE VEHICLES: HTTPS://WWW.GOLFMK7.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=778941

VEHICLE DIED WHEN STOPPING AT RED LIGHT IN EVENING RUSH HOUR. THERE WAS NO SHUTTER WITH THE ENGINE SHUTOFF. DID NOT NOTICE ENGINE WAS OFF AND WHEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STAND STILL, I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. THIS HAPPENED HALF A MILE LATER AT AN ADDITIONAL STOP LIGHT. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. THE ENGINE HAS ALSO CUT OUT A FEW SECONDS AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE BRAKING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER BRAKING WHILE STATIONARY. I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR MANUALLY AFTER THIS BEHAVIOR. THE CAR IS NEW WITH 250 MILES DRIVEN. THE CAR DOES NOT REGISTER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHERWISE INDICATE ANY PROBLEM.

I AM CONCERNED WHEN COMING TO A STOP UNEXPECTEDLY MY CAR WILL START TO IDLE ROUGH AND THEN STALL. I'M CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND THAT I COULD BE HIT. CURRENTLY IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED WHEN STOPPING AND I CANNOT KEEP THE CAR RUNNING WHEN I START IT UP AGAIN. I AM HAVING TO REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD. MY CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PRESSED DOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

2019 GTI RABBIT EDITION, 6M, URANO GREY. I HAVE EXPIERINCING FREQUENT ENGINE STALLS COMING UP TO A STOP, CLUTCH ALL THE WAY DEPRESSED, IN MY 2,000 MILES SINCE BUYING NEW IN FEB. SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF HAPPENS IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION. THE STALLS NOW ARE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT. HOPE THIS PROBLEM GETS SORTED SOON BY VW. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALREADY FILED WITH NHTSA AS WELL AS THE VW GTI FORUMS. (GOLFMK7.COM) IT SEEMS BY READING OTHER SAME COMPLAINTS, ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AND WITH THE 6 SPEED MANUALS. (CLUTCH ALWAYS FULLY DEPRESSED)

THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN YOU HAVE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR IS COMING TO A STOP WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE. TODAY IT HAPPEN 5 TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP IS. CLUELESS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MOST OF THE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON CITY STREETS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY IN, OR IF VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. IT IS A VERY QUIET STALL, NO DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STARTED AGAIN, AS IF IT WAS NEVER RUNNING. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

MY ENGINE KEEPS HAVING A SOFT STALL. I HAVE A MANUAL RABBIT UNDER 1K MILES. IT DOES THIS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE WITH THE CAR ALREADY. THE FIRST WAS A SENSOR, WHICH WAS TAKEN CARE OF WITH EASE. NOW THIS ONE.

ENGINE STALLING IN LOW SPEED

WHITE 2019 RABBIT EDITION 6MT, BUILD DATE OF 10/18, PURCHASED 4/6/19. ISSUE BEGAN THE DAY OF PURCHASE WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WILL FREQUENTLY STALL WHEN THE CLUTCH IS FULLY DEPRESSED SHORTLY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE STALL IS UNCHARACTERISTIC OF OTHER STALLS DUE TO DRIVER ERROR, AS IT CAN BARELY BE FELT THROUGH THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS BOTH IN GEAR AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. ONCE THE CAR STALLS, IT MUST BE RESTARTED BY PRESSING THE IGNITION BUTTON AGAIN. AFTER THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED, THE CAR WILL RESUME NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION UNTIL IT STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AGAIN. THE STALLING ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS TWICE, BOTH TIMES HAVING NO RESULTS. A VW TECH WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ITS SOURCE.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 VW GOLF GTI RABBIT EDITION MANUAL 6-SPEED ON JANUARY 14, 2019 AND HAD IT DIE OUT ALMOST LIKE A "PUTTER" UNTIL THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TODAY APRIL 17, 2019. HAPPENED WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH IN AND IN FIRST GEAR. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR USING THE PUSH IGNITION I THEN HAD IT DIE ON ME TWICE MORE. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS NEARLY HOME... I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET THE CAR STARTED AND REV THE ENGINE JUST ENOUGH TO GET BACK ON MY WAY BUT THEN HAD IT DIE ON ME AGAIN WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THE CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 800 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY DRIVEN SINCE TAKEN OFF THE CAR DEALER'S LOT.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUTOFF AT VERY LOW SPEED, STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. EACH TIME THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY ENGAGED.

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. USUALLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE THEN COMING TO A STOP IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT. MANUAL TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE CAR STALLS. CAR ALSO STALLS ON RESTART OF THE ENGINE. DEALER HAS NOT FOUND A CAUSE.

THE CAR HAS 43 MILES ON IT AND IS STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'S STALLING WHEN STATIONARY IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. IT'S ALSO STALLING IN GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH PRESSED (AT A STOP SIGN, CAR IN FIRST GEAR, FOOT ON CLUTCH, RPMS DROP TO ZERO AND CAR QUIETLY JUST TURNS OFF). IT DOESN'T RUMBLE LIKE A NORMAL MOTOR STALL WOULD, IT JUST SHUTS OFF (LIKE AUTO ON/OFF WOULD ON A AUTOMATIC).

~3000 MILES ON 6 SPEED MANUAL 2019 VW GTI. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (~10) THE VEHICLE QUIETLY STALLED WHILE DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY STALLED IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION BACK ON OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES.

2019 GTI SE 6MT. CAR SOFT STALLS - RPM DROPS TO ZERO (WITHOUT JERKING MOTION) AT RANDOM INTERVALS WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. PRESSING THE START/STOP BUTTON STARTS THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THE CAR OPERATES AS NORMAL. CAR IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, AMBIENT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70 DEGREES. BEHAVIOR IS NOT READILY REPRODUCIBLE. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 350 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WITH A BUILD DATE OF 1/19.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED THE ENGINE WILL STALL

CAR WILL SOFTLY STALL OUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED OR THE STICK OUT OF GEAR. STARTED HAPPENING WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE CAR. HAPPENED THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS BEFORE 420 MILES. CAR WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY IN EVERY INSTANCE EXCEPT FOR THE ONE RIGHT BEFORE 420 MILES. THAT INSTANCE THE CAR STALLED, I HIT THE START BUTTON, STARTED AGAIN, THEN STALLED IMMEDIATELY. STARTED AGAIN, STALLED AGAIN. STARTED AGAIN, STAYED IDLE AND I STARTED MOVING.

MY 2019 RABBIT DSG GTI IS STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY WARM. WHEN IT STARTS HAPPENING, THE ISSUE COMES UP SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FOLLOWING STOPS. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO P MODE TO TURN THE CAR ON, HAVING THE CAR STOPPED FOR A WHILE. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. ATTACHED IS A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING (FILMED ON A PRIVATE PARKING GARAGE). HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=6DCGEOXYJDI

MY CAR HAS ONLY 800 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND NO AUTO STOP/START SYSTEM. WHEN SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, I PUSH THE CLUTCH IN AND MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER TO NEUTRAL. DURING THE LAST 5MPH OR SO, THE CAR WILL QUIETLY STALL. I ONLY NOTICE IT STALLED WHEN I TRY TO GET MOVING AGAIN AND REALIZE I HAVE TO START THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. I WANT TO NOTE THAT I HAVE FOUND REPORTS OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH OTHER 2019 VW GTI OWNERS ON SEVERAL CAR FORUMS. MANY OF THE OWNERS MENTION BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATING THEY "CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE." I'M RELUCTANT TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER AS THE ISSUE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM. I ALSO CAN'T AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT MY CAR FOR A DAY OR TWO WHILE THEY ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESULTS.

I HAVE A 2019 GTI RABBIT EDITION WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE COMING TO A ROLLING STOP WHILE THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON A WARMED UP ENGINE. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN I COME TO A ROLLING STOP. IT'S A VERY QUIET STALL AND SOMETIMES YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT STALLED OUT.

CAR STALLS WHEN COASTING TO (OR JUST ARRIVED AT) STANDSTILL WITH CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. CAR IS 6SPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION. TWO OCCURRENCES OF STALLING IN FIRST 500 MILES OF OWNERSHIP. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART FAIL FOR TWO TO THREE TRIES (CAR IDLES ROUGH AND RE-STALLS), THEN IT WILL RUN PROPERLY AND I CAN DRIVE AWAY. NO OTHER OBVIOUS ISSUES DURING NORMAL DRIVING.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR DIES OCASSIONALLY. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHEN THE CAR DIES AT A STOP. AND I CANNOT MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10+ TIMES.

I HAVE THE 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE COMMUTING HOME ON SURFACE STREETS AND STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CLUTCH OUT, THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS. THIS ONLY HAS HAPPENED WHILE IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT/STOP SIGN. I HAVE PLENTY OF GAS AND NO CEL COMES UP. THE ENGINE IS WARM. IT HAPPENS WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT THEN EASILY STARTS AGAIN. IT'S A VERY GENTLE STALL AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE CAR HAS AUTO STOP/START, WHICH MY CAR DOES NOT. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE STALLING. THEY EVEN CONTACTED AND WORKED WITH VWOA BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR CLOSE TO 2 WEEKS TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT FIXES, BUT NONE WORKED. SO WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, THEY DID A 'CAPACITIVE HARD REBOOT' OF THE SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT STALLED TWICE ON MY DRIVE HOME. NOW, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS SINCE THEN AND IT HASN'T STALLED SINCE, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE ME MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT IT WON'T RETURN IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REBOOT DID.

THE FIRST TIME WAS A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED OUT AS I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN IN 2ND GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE BACK UP AND CONTINUE OPERATING AFTERWARDS. THE SECOND TIME WAS JUST LAST THURSDAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, AGAIN WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED.

I PURCHASED A 2019 GTI S ON MARCH 30TH 2019 AND IN ONE WEEK'S TIME I STALLED OUT 7 TIMES. 3 OF THOSE 7 TIMES WERE WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IN NEUTRAL WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ONLY (NOT ON THE CLUTCH). THE OTHER 4 TIMES WERE IN 2ND GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 8 AND 10 MPH WHEN I WAS EITHER PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY OR GOING OVER A LONG BUT LOW AND NOT AGGRESSIVE SPEED BUMP. THE STALL WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD DEPRESS THE CLUTCH, NOT ON THE RELEASE.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF/STALLS WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP IN A 6MT URANO GREY GOLF GTI RABBIT EDITION. ON DOZENS OF OCCASIONS AT THIS POINT, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ENGINE CODES BEING DROPPED. I WILL BE IN NEUTRAL OR WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED, USUALLY COMING TO A STOP BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN ROLLING SLOWLY, AND THE CAR WILL STALL OUT. IT HAS BEEN SO GENTLE THAT I DON'T EVEN NOTICE UNTIL I PRESS THE GAS AND START MOVING AND NOTHING HAPPENS. IT HAS OCCURRED DURING HEAVY BRAKING AND LIGHT BRAKING, USUALLY AFTER A LONGER DRIVE. TENDS TO OCCUR IN BURSTS, I'VE GONE TWO WEEKS WITH NO INCIDENTS AND THEN ON A SINGLE DRIVE (AFTER ABOUT 3 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY) IT WILL OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION, BUT WON'T BE CONSISTENT. I AM NOT STALLING THE CAR BY HAVING THE CLUTCH PARTIALLY ENGAGED OR ANYTHING, I WILL BE IN FULL NEUTRAL OR WITH THE CLUTCH TO THE FLOOR AND FOOT OFF THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE WHEN SLOWING TO AN INTERSECTION PREPARING FOR A TURN, OR WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP TRAVELING STRAIGHT. HAVE ALSO HAD THE ISSUE WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC SPEEDS. ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF USUALLY AFTER EXTENSIVE DRIVING, HAVEN'T HAD IT HAPPEN AFTER A <10 MIN DRIVE YET THAT I CAN REMEMBER. CURRENTLY BEING ENCOUNTERED BY SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS, AND WE'RE TRYING TO CONSOLIDATE WHAT WE KNOW: HTTPS://WWW.REDDIT.COM/R/GOLFGTI/COMMENTS/B9CPB7/POSSIBLE_2019_6MT_STALL_ISSUE_YOUR_FEEDBACK/ HTTPS://WWW.GOLFMK7.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.P

THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP IN NEUTRAL, THEN WILL REQUIRE RESTARTING. PROBLEM IS MORE PERSISTENT IN WARMER TEMPERATURE AND ALSO WHEN THE OIL TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 220 DEGREES. HOWEVER DOES NOT CAUSE CEL OR THROW ANY CODES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION BECAUSE I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR WHICH CAN PUT ME IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
