Description of the problem	Re: nhtsa action number dp19003. I have a 2019 gti se 6mt. At low speeds, coming to a stop, with clutch engaged, the car will stall. No warning lights or noticeable sounds appear, but the engine just turns off. Sometimes you don't know it's off until you try to accelerate. A couple of times the engine would quietly shut off while the car was in motion with clutch engaged and gear in neutral. The frequency of this occurence is higher when im in stop and go traffic. I purchased my car brand new yesterday, 11/18/2019, with less than 30 miles. The stalling occurred the next day on 11/19/2019 in bumper to bumper traffic. To proivde context, i've been driving manual transmissions 13 years, with my previous car being a 6mt 2013 gti, and never encountered this type of issue before. To test whether it's human error, i conciously pressed down on the clutch as hard as i could and kept it engaged until full stop to ensure i wasn't releading too early, but the issue still persisted. I've stalled over 10 times in a day, which appears to occur at random, but moreso during low speed, stop and go driving. Because of the subtle engine shutoff, left turns from a standstill can be extremely dangerous due to stalling on oncoming traffic without knowing your engine is off, amongst the other dangerous implications of this issue. Please consider this a serious issue, which appears to be impacting many other 2019 gti 6mt owners.

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?
