Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11193940, filed 2019-04, 2,400 miles“This is a 6mt 4 door se vw gti 2019 with 1500 miles and 6 week of ownership. The vehicle randomly stalls at low speed when breaking approx 5 MPH or even when stationary after coming to a halt. Happens when the car is in neutral or when the clutch is fully depressed. This is not a case of wrong gear or not fully depressing the clutch. It has happened a couple of dozen times both with myself and my wife driving so not the driver at fault. Happens when the engine is at temperature but not at first start up. …”
NHTSA complaint #11228856, filed 2019-07, 150 miles“This has been an open recall for 5 years and the manufacturer will not fix it. This could lead to vehicle fires and injuries.. It is not acceptable that Volkswagen can just ignore these safety recalls!”
