| Description of the problem | White 2019 rabbit edition 6mt, build date of 10/18, purchased 4/6/19. Issue began the day of purchase with less than 100 miles on the car. The vehicle will frequently stall when the clutch is fully depressed shortly before coming to a stop. The stall is uncharacteristic of other stalls due to driver error, as it can barely be felt through the car. This has happened when the car is both in gear and out of gear while the clutch is depressed. Once the car stalls, it must be restarted by pressing the ignition button again. After the engine is restarted, the car will resume normal driving operation until it stalls while coming to a stop again. The stalling only seems to occur when the car is at operating temperature. The car has been at the dealer for diagnostics twice, both times having no results. A vw tech was able to replicate the issue, but was unable to find its source. |
