2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Rough idle on start. RPM is not maintaining to keep the engine running. After a few try, it starts ok and drive off the parking lot, but the engine dies after about 10 seconds over 30mph. It feels like gasoline is not igniting corretly. Scanned Error Code P0171: System Too Lean Bank 1 P0190: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor A Circuit Dealership can't replicate the issue and find the issue. Could be related to Fuel System Recall.

There has been no incident. I am filing this complaint because I have been unable to get an expected date of repair from VW by calling VW.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND COMING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE MAY SPUTTER AS IF IT ISN'T GETTING THE CORRECT AIR/FUEL MIXTURE AND SHUTS OFF. THIS IS AN S TRIM VOLKSWAGEN GTI WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE PACKAGE. THE INCIDENT(S) OCCURRED WHILE IN NEUTRAL ON THE THREE OCCASIONS IT HAS HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE HAS 700 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN ENGINE/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ISSUE.

WHEN AT IDLE OR COMING TO A STOP, WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT ENGAGED THE VEHICLE WILL SOFT STALL AND REQUIRE A KEY TURN TO START THE MOTOR AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. 6SPD MANUAL

THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN APPROACHING A STOP DESPITE BEING IN NEUTRAL. THE STALL IS GENTLE (NOT SUDDEN). EACH TIME, THE COOLANT AND OIL TEMPERATURE WERE AT REGULAR OPERATING TEMPERATURES (WARMED UP, NOT COLD). THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THUS FAR, AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES, 120 MILES, AND 500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS CAR IS WITH THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 30

THE CAR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP- 0 MPH AND AT IDLE WITH CLUTCH IN OR IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP.

THE CAR STALLS WHEN EITHER DRIVING VERY SLOWLY OR STOPPED. I BOUGHT IT WEDNESDAY, JULY 10TH. IT FIRST STALLED YESTERDAY, WHILE I WAS IN NEUTRAL AT A STOP LIGHT. TODAY IT STALLED FOUR MORE TIMES. THREE TIMES IN A PARKING LOT AND ONCE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR HAD NORMAL ENGINE TEMPERATURE. WHEN IT STALLS IT'S SO QUIET AND SUBTLE THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO NOTICE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN NEUTRAL. I ENTERED SEVERAL ISSUES, AS I'M UNSURE WHAT IS ACTUALLY AFFECTED.

BOUGHT A NEW 2019 VW GTI 'S' IN 6 SPEED MANUAL. THE VEHICLE STALLS AND HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND I'VE HAD IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK. ITS VERY CONCERNING. I'VE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT IN TOMORROW, AND I'VE CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE TO LET THEM KNOW. IT HAPPENS WHILE COMING TO A STOP, HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I SEE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT VW IS CURRENTLY UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE MANY DIFFERENT PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR VARIOUS CONSUMERS TO NO AVAIL. MOST STORIES I'VE READ HAVE ENDED IN VW BUYING BACK THE LEMONS...

THE PROBLEM STARTED LESS THAN 24 HOURS FROM TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE WITH 16 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 111 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, 90 DEGREES AMBIENT TEMP, OIL TEMP 210. THE ENGINE DIES WHEN APPROACHING A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. DOES IT IN NEUTRAL AND WHEN IN FIRST OR SECOND GEAR. GAUGES REMAIN ON WITH LIGHTING, TACH AT ZERO. AFTER STALLING THE CAR STARTS WITH A PUSH OF THE STARTER BUTTON, FOOT ON BRAKE AND CLUTCH DEPRESSED. IF THE CAR STALLS WHEN PARKING THE GAUGES REMAIN ON WITH LIGHTING, TACH AT ZERO. THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED AND THEN SHUT OFF WITH THE STARTED BUTTON FOR THE GAUGES AND THE REST OF THE CARS ELECTRICS TO POWER DOWN. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM CRESTMONT VW IN NJ ONE MONTH AGO. IT HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHEN THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED AND I'M COMING TO A HALT, THE CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR, AND NOW OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO (SOMETIMES MORE FREQUENTLY). IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN IN NEUTRAL AND WHEN IN SECOND GEAR, THOUGH THE CLUTCH IS ALWAYS IN. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER WASN'T PRODUCING ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES. INITIALLY THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THEN SPOKE TO A MANAGER, SHOWED HIM ONLINE FORUMS WHERE CUSTOMERS WERE REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND TO HIS CREDIT HE AGREED TO KEEP THE CAR TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

WHETHER THE CAR IS IN GEAR OR NOT THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT. WHEN VEHICLE IS IN GEAR AND CLUTCH IS FULLY DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS 1ST GEAR OR REVERSE THE SAME WILL HAPPEN.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 5/27/19. VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 1000 MILES. ISSUE FIRST STARTED DAY AFTER THE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE NATURE OF THE STALL IS SUBTLE, NOT JERKY. ALMOST LIKE A AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ON A VEHICLE WITH AN AUTO TRANSMISSION (MY GTI HAS A 6-SPEED MANUAL). THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 TIMES NOW. IVE HAD IT HAPPEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PRESSED (CLUTCH DISENGAGED) AND THE VEHICLE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL AND ALSO IN GEAR. IVE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL NOT PRESSED (CLUTCH ENGAGED) AND THE GEAR SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL. CAR RESTARTS FINE, BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS.

Mileage: 400

MY 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION GTI SE STALLS AFTER I COME TO A STOP WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. IT HAS HAPPENED ~8 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE (FOR 3 WEEKS). THERE ARE 650 MILES ON THE CAR.

Mileage: 500

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS WHILE STATIONARY IN FIRST GEAR, CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED. CAR WILL IDLE ROUGH THAN STALL. VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS WHEN APPROACHING A STOP IN FIRST GEAR. SOMETIMES STALLS QUIETLY, LIKE THE CAR TURNED OFF. HAD THE CAR A WEEK AND HAPPENED ABOUT 10+ TIMES. DEALER TOLD ME CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOTHING TO FIX. CALLED VW CORPORATE TO LET THEM KNOW.

Mileage: 56

ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS WITH THE CLUTCH IN (URANO GREY 6-SPEED MANUAL). SOMETIMES THE ENGINE DIES QUICK AND CLEAN, SOMETIMES SPUTTERS/FLUTTERS AND THEN DIES. CAR NEEDS TO BE RESTATED IN TRAFFIC - DANGEROUS! HAPPENS PRETTY RARELY, BUT HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN CITY-ISH 50 MILES, SO CERTAINLY A CONCERN! NEW CAR HAS LESS THAN 400 MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 350

I AM CONCERNED WHEN COMING TO A STOP UNEXPECTEDLY MY CAR WILL START TO IDLE ROUGH AND THEN STALL. I'M CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND THAT I COULD BE HIT. CURRENTLY IT HAPPENS AT LOW SPEED WHEN STOPPING AND I CANNOT KEEP THE CAR RUNNING WHEN I START IT UP AGAIN. I AM HAVING TO REV THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD. MY CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE CLUTCH IS FULLY PRESSED DOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE MORE THAN 3/4 TANK OF GAS WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

MY 2019 RABBIT DSG GTI IS STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENS USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY WARM. WHEN IT STARTS HAPPENING, THE ISSUE COMES UP SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FOLLOWING STOPS. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO P MODE TO TURN THE CAR ON, HAVING THE CAR STOPPED FOR A WHILE. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. ATTACHED IS A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING (FILMED ON A PRIVATE PARKING GARAGE). HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=6DCGEOXYJDI

I HAVE THE 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE COMMUTING HOME ON SURFACE STREETS AND STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE CLUTCH OUT, THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS. THIS ONLY HAS HAPPENED WHILE IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT/STOP SIGN. I HAVE PLENTY OF GAS AND NO CEL COMES UP. THE ENGINE IS WARM. IT HAPPENS WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BUT THEN EASILY STARTS AGAIN. IT'S A VERY GENTLE STALL AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE CAR HAS AUTO STOP/START, WHICH MY CAR DOES NOT. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE STALLING. THEY EVEN CONTACTED AND WORKED WITH VWOA BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR CLOSE TO 2 WEEKS TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT FIXES, BUT NONE WORKED. SO WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, THEY DID A 'CAPACITIVE HARD REBOOT' OF THE SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, AFTER I PICKED THE CAR UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT STALLED TWICE ON MY DRIVE HOME. NOW, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS SINCE THEN AND IT HASN'T STALLED SINCE, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE ME MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT IT WON'T RETURN IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REBOOT DID.

I PURCHASED A 2019 GTI S ON MARCH 30TH 2019 AND IN ONE WEEK'S TIME I STALLED OUT 7 TIMES. 3 OF THOSE 7 TIMES WERE WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IN NEUTRAL WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ONLY (NOT ON THE CLUTCH). THE OTHER 4 TIMES WERE IN 2ND GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 8 AND 10 MPH WHEN I WAS EITHER PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY OR GOING OVER A LONG BUT LOW AND NOT AGGRESSIVE SPEED BUMP. THE STALL WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD DEPRESS THE CLUTCH, NOT ON THE RELEASE.
