“On several occasions since about april 8,2019 my new gti stalled while I was driving. When the car stalls it does so without warning. The stall occurs as if the car simply turned off. On a few occasions the car stalled when I stopped at a stop sign or when I drove onto my driveway. Twice the car stalled in bumper to bumper traffic on i580 near san francisco. Both of those stalls came at a moment when vehicles following me nearly collided with me because traffic began to move but my car stalled and for a moment did not move in sync with traffic. …”
