| Description of the problem | On 4/12/19, we purchased a new 2019 urano gray gti rabbit edition manual transmission from a vw dealership with 36 miles. On 5/14/19, at 732 miles the vehicle stalled while stopping at a red light on a major street with the car in neutral. At the next red light the car stalled while stopping in neutral. The car stalled about six times while trying to restart it at the red light - the car was in neutral with the clutch down. I called to notify a vw dealer service advisor and was advised to check the oil level (it was full). On 5/27/19, at 965 miles the car stalled while in first gear with the clutch down at a stop sign. We then took a video of the vehicle stalling after starting the vehicle with the clutch to the floor. We took the car to the dealership and the car stalled twice on the way to the dealership while the clutch was down at a red light. This is a serious vehicle safety issue as a stalled vehicle can be rear ended causing serious bodily injury or death! |
