Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
CAR IS AT 3500 MILES, BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALER. CAR IS MANUAL TRANSMISSION. CAR HAS BEEN FINE UNTIL 5/11/19. WHILE STUCK IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, THE CAR STALLED WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. 10 MINUTES AFTER THE INCIDENT, THIS TIME OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STALLED WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED AGAIN WHEN I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. IN CASE #1) I WAS IN 1ST GEAR. THE STALL WAS VERY SMOOTH AND NOT NOTICED BY PASSENGERS (I NOTICED IT DUE TO TACHOMETER FALLING TO 0). THE CLUTCH WAS %100 DEPRESSED #2) I WAS IN 3RD OR 4TH GEARS. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ALERT DUE TO THE FIRST INCIDENT AND MADE SURE TO TAKE NOTE OF WHAT HAPPENED. THE CLUTCH WAS ONCE AGAIN DEPRESSED. IN BOTH CASES, THE CAR STALLED AND LEFT ME WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR STEER. LUCKILY THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHILE STOPPING AND NOT AT HIGH SPEEDS.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
ON JAN 29, 2019, I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW, FROM A DEALER IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH APPROXIMATELY 13 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE MILE FROM THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN NEUTRAL, WITH THE CLUTCH PETAL IN THE FULLY RAISED POSITION, AND HAD BEEN IDLING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE OCCURRENCE. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR INSPECTED. ON THE SHORT DRIVE BACK, THE CAR STALLED 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY EXPLANATION FOR THE STALLING. UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, I DROVE THE CAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 150 MORE MILES. ON FEBRUARY 1, 2019, THE ISSUE RECURRED, AGAIN AT A STOPLIGHT UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. I CAN ASSERT, WITH CONFIDENCE, THAT NONE OF THE OCCURRENCES WERE DUE TO DRIVER ERROR. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTO-START SYSTEM (WHICH COULD HAVE EXPLAINED THE BEHAVIOR). ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE HAS NOT RESURFACED SINCE THEN (NOW ABOUT 3000 MILES LATER), THE CAR EXHIBITS A ROUGH IDLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTED COLD. THERE IS NO VISIBLE FLUCTUATION IN THE RPMS ON THE TACHOMETER, BUT I CAN AUDIBLY HEAR AND FEEL THE ENGINE "SKIPPING". THE CAR BUILD DATE WAS OCTOBER 2018.

MY 2019 RABBIT EDITION GTI 6-SPEED MANUAL STALLS WHEN IT'S STATIONARY AT A STOP SIGN OR A STOPLIGHT WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY PRESSED IN. IT HAPPENS WHILE IN 1ST GEAR AND IF THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. THE CAR ALSO FAILS TO TURN ON AFTER STALLING SOMETIMES AND IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF AFTER RESTARTING. MY CAR HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WHILE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF IT'S NOT FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN BUT THEY'RE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS IS AN ISSUE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE BRAND NEW 2019 RABBIT EDITION GTI'S ARE HAVING AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
