The problem started less than 24 hours from taking delivery of the vehicle with 16 miles on the odometer. The first incident happened at 111 miles on the odometer, 90 degrees ambient temp, oil temp 210. The engine dies when approaching a stop with the clutch depressed. Does it in neutral and when in first or second gear. Gauges remain on with lighting, tach at zero. After stalling the car starts with a push of the starter button, foot on brake and clutch depressed. If the car stalls when parking the gauges remain on with lighting, tach at zero. The car must be restarted and then shut off with the started button for the gauges and the rest of the cars electrics to power down. Not safe to drive.

This car was purchased new from crestmont vw in nj one month ago. It has a manual transmission and when the clutch is engaged and I'm coming to a halt, the car has stalled multiple times. This first happened within the first week of owning the car, and now occurs at least once every other day or so (sometimes more frequently). It has happened when in neutral and when in second gear, though the clutch is always in. The car is at the dealer right now. I explained the situation and they could not reproduce the problem and the car's computer wasn't producing any diagnostic codes. Initially they told me that there was nothing they could do. I then spoke to a manager, showed him online forums where customers were reporting the exact same problem, and to his credit he agreed to keep the car to investigate further.
Whether the car is in gear or not the vehicle will stall out. When vehicle is in gear and clutch is fully depressed the vehicle will stall. Does not matter if it is 1st gear or reverse the same will happen.
Vehicle was purchased on 5/27/19. Vehicle has just over 1000 miles. Issue first started day after the purchase. The vehicle's engine will intermittently stall after coming to a stop. The nature of the stall is subtle, not jerky. Almost like a auto start/stop feature on a vehicle with an auto transmission (my gti has a 6-speed manual). This has happened 10 times now. Ive had it happen with the clutch pedal pressed (clutch disengaged) and the vehicle gear shifter in neutral and also in gear. Ive also had it happen with the clutch pedal not pressed (clutch engaged) and the gear shifter in neutral. Car restarts fine, but this is definitely a safety issue that can lead to accidents.
My 6 speed manual transmission gti se stalls after I come to a stop when the clutch is depressed to the floor. It has happened ~8 times since owning the vehicle (for 3 weeks). There are 650 miles on the car.
Vehicle unexpectedly stalls while stationary in first gear, clutch fully depressed. Car will idle rough than stall. Vehicle unexpectedly stalls when approaching a stop in first gear. Sometimes stalls quietly, like the car turned off. Had the car a week and happened about 10+ times. Dealer told me can't replicate the problem, nothing to fix. Called vw corporate to let them know.
Engine stalls at low speeds with the clutch in (urano grey 6-speed manual). Sometimes the engine dies quick and clean, sometimes sputters/flutters and then dies. Car needs to be restated in traffic - dangerous! Happens pretty rarely, but happened 4 times within city-ish 50 miles, so certainly a concern! New car has less than 400 miles on it.
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.
Engine stalling in low speed
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
While driving at low speed the engine will stall
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.
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.
