This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Engine stalls as car comes to a full stop in normal street traffic: Braking with transmission in neutral, clutch engaged or disengaged, near-stationary or full-stationary; braking with transmission in gear and clutch fully disengaged, near-stationary or full-stationary.
After driving the car for 30 or so minutes on both city and highway streets, my new gli with 800 miles on the odometer will intermittently stall when coming to a stop. This engine stall happens when the clutch is to the floor and in gear and sometimes with the clutch out and in neutral. It is a very gentle stall - nothing like the lurching that occurs during a typical stall, in fact there have been times when I didn't notice the engine died. After the occurrence of the first stall it usually continues to happen at each subsequent stop for the rest of that particular driving trip. The car returns to normal after sitting for along period of time. This issue has happened on three separate occasions over the first month of ownership.
I have a white gti rabbit with a manufacture date of 10/18. Vehicle engine stalls when coming to a stop. This occurs with the vehicle in neutral regardless of whether or not the clutch is depressed and happens during city driving. The vehicle exhibited this problem around 3000 miles and has occurred several times since. It does this every so often in an unpredictable manner and am unable to repeat it. Also noticed that the gear selector on the dash acts erratically when this happens sometimes showing 4-2 or 4-3 or 2-3 before the stall occurs. No dash lights come on. There are no check engine lights. Vehicle requires a restart by pushing the start button before driving again. Am afraid that this will happen during freeway driving.
Engine soft shut-off when in neutral (manual transmission) or with the clutch to the floor, while shifting to neutral, and coming to a stop. City street. This occurred 3 successive times over a short, 5 minute trip home on city streets. Every downshift, with gear neutral or disengaged, the engine shuts off just as or after coming to a stop. There is no "stall shudder" from the engine, and it just revs from 1K RPM to 0 when stopped or while stopping, in neutral. The vehicle had been warmed up to operating temperature. The dashboard gear reporter also misreported the current gear at this time: Reported 3rd when in 2nd, or 3rd-to-5th when in 3rd. Again at low speeds, and low revs that would not be appropriate for an upshift. Vehicle bought new this week, currently at 100 miles on the odometer.
Vehicle died when stopping at red light at a high traffic city intersection, clutch was all the down. Also, died twice in reverse while parking in driveway at slow roll while clutch was completely depressed.
Engine stalls at crawl speeds/coming to a complete stop with the clutch pedal fully depressed. Has happened thrice since purchase. First episode with odo at around 100 miles. Second around 350 miles.latest episode 4/16/19 at 556 miles. The stall is very quiet like if the car has an auto stop start function and is only noticed when pushing on the gas pedal to get moving again. Has never happened when coasting in neutral with the clutch let out. Has not happened at higher speeds but have not driven many highway miles. Starts right up again with no trouble on pushing the stop/start button. No trouble with the gear indicator as some other owners of the same model have stated on online forums.
It's a 2019 rabbit edition gti and the engine stalls at a stop in neutral position at normal running temperature. Many owners of the gti rabbit MK7.5 are experience the same problem and there's no warning lights on the panel that indicates the car should be service. I have experience this problem only after a full stop not running!
The car coming slowing down to a stop will shut (stall) off and require restarting. Secondary issue where the transmission gear selection indicator will show the wrong gear selected. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=56omnoqsi-C
Vehicle is stalling while coming up to a stop at low speeds. I fully engage the clutch and then it stalls. It feels more of an engine shutdown than a stall; I say this because it is a very quiet and gentle shutdown. You cant even tell it happened until you see the RPM's drop to zero.
I have a new 2019 VW Golf gti rabbit with 500 miles, I've had a problem with the car stalling as I come to a stop. It's happened multiple times, all while slowly coming to a stop. It's quiet and don't even notice until I try to accelerate
