| Description of the problem | My 2019 s model produced in 9/2018 with manual transmission is stalling at low speeds with clutch fully engaged. It happens in first or second gear usually when either trying to come to a stop or in stop and go traffic coasting at very low speeds with clutch in. The car does not lurch. It simply just shuts off quietly. It has happened so far on an off ramp, in traffic, and pulling into my driveway. I just bought the car 3 days ago on tuesday, june 11th with only a few hundred miles on it. It started happening the day after i bought it. It only happened once on that day, but happened several more times yesterday. At first i thought it was user error until i googled it and saw at least 80 people with the same problem. I have never had a manual car stall in lower gears with the clutch fully engaged. It is not normal or safe in my opinion. I plan on taking it back to the dealer as soon as i can so they can investigate further. |
