2019 Volkswagen GTI Powertrain & Transmission Problems

VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE NOTICED MY CAR STALL WHEN LEAVING A PARKING SPOT WHERE I WILL GET HALFWAY OUT OF THE PARK, AND THEN THE RPM GOES TO 0 AND I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO PARK, TURN THE KEY, AND AFTER A LONGER THAN NORMAL STARTUP TIME, IT GOES.

CAR STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS, PARTICULARLY COMING TO A STOP. HAPPENS WITH CLUTCH IN OR IN NEUTRAL. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY 1 OF OWNERSHIP OF BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH 80 MILES ON ODOMETER. CONTINUES AT 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WITH 6K MILES ON ODO. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IT DID NOT OCCUR FOR 6 MONTHS BETWEEN DECEMBER 2019 AND JUNE 2ND 2020. ON JUNE 3RD VW INSTALLED 24FD UPDATE. UPON DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR STALLED 3 TIMES. TWICE AT STOPLIGHTS IN 1ST GEAR WITH CLUTCH IN. ONCE IN NEUTRAL AFTER I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

I HAVE A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE I WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS TO THE LOCAL FOOD STORE AND HARDWARE STORE, I CAME TO A COMPLETE AND FULL STOP AT A STOP SIGN. AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL DISENGAGED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. I NOTICED THE CAR HAD A SOFT STALL. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF ABOUT 6 TIMES. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAS THE AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF AT A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP BUT MY CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THAT OPTION. I FEEL AS IF THE ENGINE IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS CUTTING OFF. I ALSO FEEL IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION THINKING THAT THE CAR IS IN A DIFFERENT GEAR AND NOT ENOUGH RPMS TO SUSTAIN THAT GEAR. I ALSO FEEL IT COULD BE A VACUUM LEAK WHICH IS NOT SENDING THE RIGHT SIGNALS TO THE ENGINE COMPUTER OR SOMETHING ELSE. AT THE TIME OF THIS HAPPENING IT WAS SUNNY AND IN MID FIFTIES IN TEMPERATURE.

THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO PERIODICALLY STALL WHEN I'M TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS IN PARKING LOTS, OR SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. IT HAS RECURRED ENOUGH (~4 TIMES IN 220 MILES) TO KNOW IT IS NOT DRIVER ERROR.

MY BRAND NEW 2019 GOLF GTI S 6MT HAS STALLED ABOUT 4 TIMES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF 12/30/19 THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 86 MILES ON IT ODOMETER. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE CAR IS IN GEAR OR NEUTRAL, WHILE THE CLUTCH IS DOWN, THE CAR SLOWLY TURNS OFF THE ENGINE BY ITSELF

ENGINE STALLING WHEN SLOWING OR COMING TO A STOP AT CITY SPEEDS WITH TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE SHUTS OFF SMOOTHLY (SIMILAR TO IGNITION SWITCH OFF) AND RESTARTS EASILY.

MY 2019 GOLF GTI 6 SPEED MANUAL FREQUENTLY AND SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. SOME DAYS THE CAR WILL NOT STALL AT ALL OTHER TIMES THE CAR WILL STALL EVERYTIME IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE CAR HAS FULLY WARMED UP AND WILL HAPPEN AT THE MOST UNEXPECTED TIMES. THE CAR STALLS VERY GENTLY, NO LURCHING OR BUCKING.

MY 2019 VW GTI RABBIT DSG IS THROWING CEL LIGHT AND INTERMITTENTLY STALLING ASKING ME TO MANUALLY START THE ENGINE. BEEN INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR P050A CEL AND STALLING. VW SAYS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THE MANUALS, NOT THE DSG. THE CEL LIGHT FOR P050A COMES ON RANDOMLY BUT THE STALLING HAPPENS MOST AFTER THE CAR COMES TO A STOP. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE START STOP SYSTEM BUT THE CAR ASKS FOR IT TO BE RESTARTED RANDOMLY.

WHEN AT IDLE OR COMING TO A STOP, WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT ENGAGED THE VEHICLE WILL SOFT STALL AND REQUIRE A KEY TURN TO START THE MOTOR AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. 6SPD MANUAL

I PURCHASED A 2019 GTI RABBIT EDITION 6MT. CAR STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN NEUTRAL. ALSO STALLS STARTING FROM A STOP WHILE IN 1ST GEAR WITH CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED. CAR SHUTS OFF QUIETLY, DOESN'T SOUND/FEEL LIKE NORMAL STALLING. HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND KNOW OF MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, AND PRESSING ON CLUTCH PEDAL, CAR INTERMITTENTLY CUTS OFF POWER

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

THE CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP- 0 MPH AND AT IDLE WITH CLUTCH IN OR IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP.
