I have been driving manual transmissions for almost 10 years. I have had the car stall on me three times while moving at low speeds while in first gear, specifically when parking and we starting to move again from a stop at a light. The engine shuts off almost as if the engine's start/stop feature engaged, not like a typical stall. The car is brand new with 350 miles as of today when it happened for the third time.

Se (w/ experience package), great falls green metallic, dsg it has only happened a couple of times so far and I can't really replicate it but when it happened I come to a pretty normal stop, and it feels like it does the auto start-stop function but the center console will say "manual restart required" or some such thing. Sure enough once I let go of the break it doesn't start back up. I have to put it in part and start it like normal. So the car just kind of stalls randomly when stopping.just normal stops too. Also, every so often instead of stalling it will kind of stutter to a stop. Like you're quickly tapping on the breaks or it's just having trouble trying to stop smoothly.
Car stalls when coming to a stop with foot in clutch. Also, if you shift from neutral to first, still with foot in clutch fully, it will sometimes stall. The random stalling is not cause by the user because the clutch is 100% depressed, yet the car still silently stalls. Along with this, the shift indicator is not always accurate, sometimes I may be in 3rd, yet it displays that I am in 4th.
My vehicle stalls at idle for no reason. I have to restart my engine over and over when coming to a stop. It seems to happen more often when engine is warmed up. This is definitely a safety issue if you stall while waiting to turn left through traffic.
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.
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.
