| Description of the problem | My car has only 800 miles on it. The car is equipped with a manual transmission and no auto stop/start system. When slowing down approaching a red light, i push the clutch in and move the shift lever to neutral. During the last 5mph or so, the car will quietly stall. I only notice it stalled when i try to get moving again and realize i have to start the car. This has happened five times in the past two weeks. I want to note that i have found reports of the same exact issue with other 2019 vw gti owners on several car forums. Many of the owners mention bringing the car to the dealer and the dealer stating they "cannot replicate the issue." i'm reluctant to bring it to the dealer as the issue is very difficult to reproduce and seems to happen at random. I also can't afford to be without my car for a day or two while they attempt to diagnose the problem with no results. |
