Description of the problem	I purchased this car with only 600 miles on it and have had it for 3 days. It is a 6 speed manual transmission and not the first manual i have ever had. When coming to a stop, if the clutch is engaged fully, the car will soft stall leaving me to have to restart the car to get moving. The stall is so subtle that every time it has happened i didn't realize it until i pressed the gas and the car did nothing. This is a very dangerous problem that vw is failing to recognize. For example, it happened while i was slowing down in the turning lane to take a left turn across traffic. With the clutch fully depressed i downshifted to first gear and began to turn across the oncoming lane. As i began to apply throttle and release the clutch i noticed the car had stalled and was forced to restart the car. This all happened while i was sitting in the oncoming lane of traffic which could have easily caused an accident if there had been cars coming. At first i thought that it was my doing so i spent some time trying to recreate the issue. About 1 in every 5 stops with the clutch fully engaged, whether in gear or in neutral, the car will stall when it comes to a stop. This is not normal behavior or due to inexperience. I have never had a manual vehicle where the engine would ever stall with the clutch fully engaged. After doing a little research online this is apparently a wide spread issue that is affecting brand new 2019 gti's with the manual transmission. Vw is failing to acknowledge that there is a problem and this negligence will ultimately lead to an accident that could cost somebody their life. Something needs to be done!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
