| Description of the problem | Recently purchased a 2019 gti brand new with 16 miles. Left the dealer and within 5 miles my car suddenly stalled while pulling up to a red light. Thought it was due to user error. Continued to drive and had 6 more stalls within 16 miles. Returned to dealer service center. I was made to feel like it was a driver problem. I left the car and was called the next day that the tech couldn't duplicate the issue. I refused to leave the dealer because i knew this was a real issue. I insisted that the tech come out driving with me. Drove for about 10 minutes and at the light before getting back to the dealer it happened! Car was left in the shop for 6 more days while they fixed the issue. Received the car back a week later and was told they called vw and were given a fix. Apparently there was debris from the manufacturing plant on a sensor and that was causing it. Replaced the sensor and everything was back to normal..... For a week and a half. This morning i was driving in traffic and it happened again. 3 times in a matter of 10 minutes in fact. Took the car straight back to the dealer and was once again made to feel like i was doing something wrong. Once again had to go test drive the car with a tech. Lucky this is a real issue and it happened with the tech video recording the event. Was told that he needs to call vw and figure out the next steps. At some point a fix is needed or i need to figure out the next steps. Luckily it has only happened at low speeds. I |
