Description of the problem	My 2019 vw gti-s is equipped with a dsg transmission. I was driving it in manual sport mode on the freeway on sunday 1 march 2020. After getting off of the freeway and onto the city surface streets, the car stalled when i came to a stop. I thought it was because i had not turned off the engine start/stop defeat feature off but that was not the case. Another 6-7 stalls occurred as i drove the car the few miles back home after dropping off a friend. There were 4-5 previous individual incidents prior to sunday. On monday 2 march while i drove the car home on the freeway in stop and go commute traffic there were no problems; however after exiting the freeway the car stalled again 3 separate times after i came to a full stop at the signals and stop signs leading to my home. As far as i am concerned, this is a dangerous situation and i am worried since the principal driver of this car will eventually be my wife. She is often driving on the streets of the san francisco bay area. It is easy to get read ended as the driver in back of you expects you to accelerate quickly away from the green signal light or stop sign after you have stopped. It takes time to shift the gear lever back into neutral or park to start the car again. Since i am putting in the "break-in" miles on the car i have experienced this exact situation and have gotten honked for not moving away swiftly from the intersection as one normally would on the city streets. The gti currently has 671 miles on the odometer. I am taking the car in to the dealership today and hoping that they will buy it back so i can get my wife into a safer model.
