| Description of the problem | Bought a brand new 2019 vw golf gti rabbit edition manual 6-speed on january 14, 2019 and had it die out almost like a "putter" until the engine shut off while i was driving it today april 17, 2019. Happened when i was coming to a stop with the clutch in and in first gear. When i restarted the car using the push ignition i then had it die on me twice more. Luckily this happened when i was nearly home... I was able to finally get the car started and rev the engine just enough to get back on my way but then had it die on me again when pulling into my driveway at home. The car still has less than 800 miles on it and has been properly driven since taken off the car dealer's lot. |
