2019 Volkswagen Golf Engine Problems

The engine completely failed while driving normally and lost power while on the highway, doing highway speeds. I had no power to safely exit the highway and it became extremely dangerous for surrounding traffic as I had to slow down. The problem has been confirmed by a Volkswagen dealer. Yes the vehicle has been inspected by Volkswagen. No warning lights or check engine lights prior to the failure

ENGINE STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON NEW CAR. START/STOP FEATURE WAS DISABLED AND I WAS RETURNING HOME. THE ENGINE WAS WARMED UP. THE VEHICLE DISPLAY INFORMED ME TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE MANUALLY. THIS GTI HAS THE DSG AUTO TRANSMISSION.

ENGINE STALLS REPEATEDLY WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP

I HAD SOME ENGINE STALL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN FIRST PURCHASED. THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OFF QUIETLY WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND BEGINNING TO DEPRESS THE CLUTCH WHILE IN NEUTRAL. HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN STOP-AND-GO CITY TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE RESET THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. UPON A FEW DAY AFTER RETURN, THE ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN.

ENGINE STALLS. INTERMITTENT. PROBLEM RELATES TO 2019 GTI (S MODEL) WITH 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN FULLY WARM OR HOT, THE ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS WITH TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND WHEN BRAKING TO A STOP, USUALLY WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AND USUALLY AT SPEEDS FROM 10-0 MPH. THE ENGINE STALLS ARE GENTLE WITH NO STUTTERING OR SHAKING. EXAMPLE: COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE QUIETLY DIES WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE RESTARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY THEREAFTER UNTIL THE NEXT UNEXPECTED STALLING EVENT. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW IN MAY OF 2019. FIRST STALL AT 250-300 MILES. MOST RECENT STALL ON 6/30/19 AT 1150 MILES. NO "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP VIA OBD-2 DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. 92 OCTANE CHEVRON GAS USED EXCLUSIVELY. OWNER HAS DECADES OF EXPERIENCE DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS WITH NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW - DOUBTFUL THIS IS OPERATOR ERROR. VW DEALER IS FRIENDLY, BUT BAFFLED.

BRAND NEW PURCHASED 2 DAYS AGO ON 5/30/19 WITH 24 MILES ON IT. IT'S A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN APPROACHING A STOP EITHER IN GEAR WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED OR IN NEUTRAL, CAR WILL STALL AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED. DANGEROUS, SAFETY IS A CONCERN. IT'S A VERY SUBTLE STALL AND YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE PAYING ATTENTION OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW, VEHICLE NOW HAS 122 MILES AND GOING BACK TO DEALER FOR MORE TESTING. INITIAL TESTING AT DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM 1 DAY AFTER PURCHASE. IT'S NOW 2 DAYS OLD! BUILD DATE WAS 3/2019. IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE SLOW SPEED COASTING, CLUTCH NOT ENGAGED IN NEUTRAL TO A STOP OR CLUTCH ENGAGED IN GEAR COASTING TO A STOP.

ENGINE STALLS AS CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP IN NORMAL STREET TRAFFIC: BRAKING WITH TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, CLUTCH ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED, NEAR-STATIONARY OR FULL-STATIONARY; BRAKING WITH TRANSMISSION IN GEAR AND CLUTCH FULLY DISENGAGED, NEAR-STATIONARY OR FULL-STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HARPER VOLKSWAGEN LOCATED AT 9901 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37922, (865) 691-0393, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON THE FIFTH OCCASION OF HAVING THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SHIFTED TO ECONOMY MODE WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE OFF FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THERE WAS NO INJURY SUSTAINED IN THE REAR END COLLISION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE TECH CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO INFORM THEM OF THE FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSE WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,604.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, UNDER 5 MPH. THE CAR STARTS TO DROP RPMS AND THEN IT WILL STALL.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 30 OR SO MINUTES ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY STREETS, MY NEW GLI WITH 800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS ENGINE STALL HAPPENS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS TO THE FLOOR AND IN GEAR AND SOMETIMES WITH THE CLUTCH OUT AND IN NEUTRAL. IT IS A VERY GENTLE STALL - NOTHING LIKE THE LURCHING THAT OCCURS DURING A TYPICAL STALL, IN FACT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I DIDN'T NOTICE THE ENGINE DIED. AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF THE FIRST STALL IT USUALLY CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AT EACH SUBSEQUENT STOP FOR THE REST OF THAT PARTICULAR DRIVING TRIP. THE CAR RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER SITTING FOR ALONG PERIOD OF TIME. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP.

VEHICLE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS IN NEUTRAL. BRAND NEW CAR, ONLY 100 MILES.

2019 MANUAL TRANSMISSION GTI'S STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC.

ENGINE STALLS AT CRAWL SPEEDS/COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. HAS HAPPENED THRICE SINCE PURCHASE. FIRST EPISODE WITH ODO AT AROUND 100 MILES. SECOND AROUND 350 MILES.LATEST EPISODE 4/16/19 AT 556 MILES. THE STALL IS VERY QUIET LIKE IF THE CAR HAS AN AUTO STOP START FUNCTION AND IS ONLY NOTICED WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GET MOVING AGAIN. HAS NEVER HAPPENED WHEN COASTING IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH LET OUT. HAS NOT HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT HAVE NOT DRIVEN MANY HIGHWAY MILES. STARTS RIGHT UP AGAIN WITH NO TROUBLE ON PUSHING THE STOP/START BUTTON. NO TROUBLE WITH THE GEAR INDICATOR AS SOME OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL HAVE STATED ON ONLINE FORUMS.

VEHICLE DIED WHEN STOPPING AT RED LIGHT AT A HIGH TRAFFIC CITY INTERSECTION, CLUTCH WAS ALL THE DOWN. ALSO, DIED TWICE IN REVERSE WHILE PARKING IN DRIVEWAY AT SLOW ROLL WHILE CLUTCH WAS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED.

IT'S A 2019 RABBIT EDITION GTI AND THE ENGINE STALLS AT A STOP IN NEUTRAL POSITION AT NORMAL RUNNING TEMPERATURE. MANY OWNERS OF THE GTI RABBIT MK7.5 ARE EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE'S NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE PANEL THAT INDICATES THE CAR SHOULD BE SERVICE. I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM ONLY AFTER A FULL STOP NOT RUNNING!

VEHICLE IS STALLING WHILE COMING UP TO A STOP AT LOW SPEEDS. I FULLY ENGAGE THE CLUTCH AND THEN IT STALLS. IT FEELS MORE OF AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN THAN A STALL; I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY QUIET AND GENTLE SHUTDOWN. YOU CANT EVEN TELL IT HAPPENED UNTIL YOU SEE THE RPM'S DROP TO ZERO.
