What owners wrote
I have a 2019 gti rabbit edition with manual transmission. The car will stall out at random times while coming to a rolling stop while the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down. It seems to happen on a warmed up engine. It doesn't happen all the time, but at random times when I come to a rolling stop. It's a very quiet stall and sometimes you don't even realize it stalled out.
Car stalls at low speeds, particularly coming to a stop. Happens with clutch in or in neutral. Has been happening since day 1 of ownership of brand new vehicle with 80 miles on odometer. Continues at 10 months of ownership with 6k miles on odo. The problem is intermittent. It did not occur for 6 months between december 2019 and june 2nd 2020. On june 3rd VW installed 24fd update. Upon driving the car home from the dealership, the car stalled 3 times. Twice at stoplights in 1st gear with clutch in.
