| Description of the problem | 2019 gti s with manual transmission was leased and picked up on 7/13/19. Car engine shuts down intermittently while stopped after decelerating at low speeds (primarily city driving). The car shuts down with either a fully-engaged clutch (engine rpms are at around 1100 when clutch is depressed in preparation for stop) or in neutral. When stopped, engine idles at 800rpm and then shuts down softly. Car restarts right away by turning key. Today, car stalled six times between 7:50am and 8:20am while driving on a 25 mph street with traffic lights. It does not shut down at every stop, and when it does, it does so with both a/c on and off. Engine temperature is normal, and outside temperature was 73 degrees. Current mileage is 300 miles, but the issue started almost immediately after leaving dealership. Yesterday drove almost 300 miles. Car performs well at highway speeds, but the stalling started as soon as it entered city traffic with traffic lights. Brought into dealership this morning after the six stalls without an appointment; service manager seemed to be aware of the issue. Car currently at dealership. |
