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 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.

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.
