2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI Unknown Or Other Problems

The contact owns a 2019 Volkswagen GTI SE. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V110000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). The contact lives in Hawaii. However, there are no Volkswagen dealers on the island. The contact was told by the manufacturer that the recall repairs would need to be done by a dealer. It was suggested that the vehicle be shipped to O'ahu at the contact's expense. The contact stated that the manufacturer did not offer any assistance when asked if a local independent mechanic could repair the vehicle. The contact had not experienced a failure.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 75MPH, MY 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI SE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY SHATTERED GLASS FALLING INTO THE CAR. THE ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED AND A VERY LARGE HOLE (APPROX. 1' X 1.5' LARGE) NEAR THE FRONT OF SUNROOF WAS PRESENT. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. GIVEN THE LOUD BANG AND THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF, I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE A ROCK OR SOME OTHER OBJECT HIT THE SUNROOF.

MY GTI HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL WHILE COMING TO A STOP EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE GEAR SHIFT IN REVERSE AS WELL AS IN NEUTRAL, IN EITHER CASE THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND IT SHOULDN'T BE STALLING IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

I HAVE A 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE I WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS TO THE LOCAL FOOD STORE AND HARDWARE STORE, I CAME TO A COMPLETE AND FULL STOP AT A STOP SIGN. AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL DISENGAGED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. I NOTICED THE CAR HAD A SOFT STALL. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF ABOUT 6 TIMES. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAS THE AUTO STOP FEATURE THAT TURNS THE ENGINE OFF AT A FULL AND COMPLETE STOP BUT MY CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THAT OPTION. I FEEL AS IF THE ENGINE IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS CUTTING OFF. I ALSO FEEL IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION THINKING THAT THE CAR IS IN A DIFFERENT GEAR AND NOT ENOUGH RPMS TO SUSTAIN THAT GEAR. I ALSO FEEL IT COULD BE A VACUUM LEAK WHICH IS NOT SENDING THE RIGHT SIGNALS TO THE ENGINE COMPUTER OR SOMETHING ELSE. AT THE TIME OF THIS HAPPENING IT WAS SUNNY AND IN MID FIFTIES IN TEMPERATURE.

Mileage: 762

AS I SLOW DOWN GETTING READY TO COME TO A COMPETE STOP. GOING FROM 3RD TO SECOND GEAR THE CARS GEAR INDICATOR STILL SAYS THAT I AM IN 3RD WHEN PHYSICAL THE GEAR MODULE IS IN THE SECOND POSITION THE MINUTE THE VEHICLE COMES A COMPLETE STOP EVEN IN MUTUAL. THE CAR ENGINE WILL JUST SHUT OFF. ISSUE CONSISTENT WHEN CAR ELECTRIC COMPONENTS THINKS THE CAR IS IN A PARTICULAR GEAR THAN WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

PURCHASED FROM RIVERSIDE VW METRO AUTO GROUP, A NEW 2019 VW GOLF GTI (WITH 465 MILES) EQUIPPED WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION STALLS EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY NEEDS TO WARM UP (OIL TEMP ABOVE 210F) PRIOR TO SEEING THIS EXCESSIVE STALLING ISSUE. THE STALLING IS APPARENT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING AS CAR SLOWS TO A STOP OR WHEN PREPARING TO MAKE A TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS TRANSPIRES WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED FULLY AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL AND CLUTCH OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 18 TIMES I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 4 DAYS AGO. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO ADDRESS AND THEY HAVE STATED THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE EVENT AND ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL. CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 615 MILES.

THE GEAR INDICATOR OFTEN SHOWS THE WRONG GEAR THAN THE CAR IS PHYSICALLY IN, ON A 6 SPEED MANUEL TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE OTHER ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE STALLING WITH THE CLUTCH PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN, OR COMING UP TO A STOPLIGHT.

Mileage: 500

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.

Mileage: 200

CAR WILL STALL EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO. MAY ALSO STALL TWICE IN ONE DAY. SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON WHEN ITS WARMER OUT. IT STALLS IN NEUTRAL OR IN GEAR WITH CLUTCH DEPRESSED WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. ALREADY HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. STILL STALLS.

Mileage: 1,989

CAR HAS UNDER 200 MILES. ENGINE REPEATEDLY TURNS OFF ONCE STATIONARY, AT STOPS, SUCH AS INTERSECTIONS, YIELD ZONES, AND FREEWAY ON AND OFF RAMPS WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTIFICATIONS, AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED BY DRIVER. UNKNOWN COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS. TAKEN TO VW SERVICE CENTER, WAS ROAD TESTED, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE COMPLAINT AND NOTED VW CORP HAD ADVISED RESETS.

Mileage: 70

COMING TO A STOP, CLUTCH ALL THE WAY IN, THE CAR WILL STALL. IT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL "JUMPY" DRIVER ERROR STALL, BUT RATHER IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN. ITS VERY SUBTLE AND THE ONLY WAY YOU EVEN KNOW ITS HAPPENING IS THAT YOU SEE YOUR RPMS DROP OFF. ALWAYS HAPPENING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. DIFFICULT TO BRING THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE ON COMMAND.

Mileage: 3,000

THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN 2ND GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED. THE ENGINE IDLES CORRECTLY AS I'M COMING TO A STOP, I DEPRESS THE CLUTCH FULLY, IDLE REMAINS STABLE, WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THE CAR IS 4 DAYS OLD AND HAS 360 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

Mileage: 360

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL ON ME THREE TIMES WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE IN FIRST GEAR, SPECIFICALLY WHEN PARKING AND WE STARTING TO MOVE AGAIN FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE'S START/STOP FEATURE ENGAGED, NOT LIKE A TYPICAL STALL. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW WITH 350 MILES AS OF TODAY WHEN IT HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME.

Mileage: 350

SE (W/ EXPERIENCE PACKAGE), GREAT FALLS GREEN METALLIC, DSG IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES SO FAR AND I CAN'T REALLY REPLICATE IT BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED I COME TO A PRETTY NORMAL STOP, AND IT FEELS LIKE IT DOES THE AUTO START-STOP FUNCTION BUT THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL SAY "MANUAL RESTART REQUIRED" OR SOME SUCH THING. SURE ENOUGH ONCE I LET GO OF THE BREAK IT DOESN'T START BACK UP. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PART AND START IT LIKE NORMAL. SO THE CAR JUST KIND OF STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN STOPPING.JUST NORMAL STOPS TOO. ALSO, EVERY SO OFTEN INSTEAD OF STALLING IT WILL KIND OF STUTTER TO A STOP. LIKE YOU'RE QUICKLY TAPPING ON THE BREAKS OR IT'S JUST HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO STOP SMOOTHLY.

Mileage: 550

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, OR A FEW SECONDS AFTER STOPPING, EITHER IN GEAR WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED OR IN NEUTRAL. THE BEHAVIOR IS NOT CONSISTENT BUT CAN BE REPRODUCED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

THE CAR IS RANDOMLY STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO FAR SINCE TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE ON 5/24. EACH TIME SO FAR IT HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS, IT IS SO SUBTLE ITS LIKE THE AUTO START/STOP TECHNOLOGY SOME CARS HAVE ALTHOUGH THIS ONE IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THAT. EACH TIME I HAD THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL.

Mileage: 45

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT, THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE CAR WAS IN 1ST GEAR. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AS IT WAS COMING TO A STOP WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE CAR WAS IN FIRST GEAR. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS GOING NO FASTER THAN 5 MPH. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE CAR LEFT THE PARKING LOT AND WENT ONTO A ROAD AND UPON COMING UP TO THE RED LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR STALLED WHILE THE CLUTCH WAS FULLY DEPRESSED AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE THREE EXAMPLES MENTIONED ABOVE OF THE CAR STALLING, ALL HAPPENED ON THE EXACT SAME DAY THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH ABOUT 33 MILES ON IT. THE THREE STALLING INCIDENTS ALL HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR REACHED ABOUT 50-60 MILES.

Mileage: 55

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. AS OF 5/23, THE CAR HAS 1,030 MILES ON IT. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AT ABOUT 400-500 MILES AND THEN IT WENT AWAY, BUT RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A FEW TIMES A DAY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE COMING TO A STOP EITHER ALREADY IN NEUTRAL, AND IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE ROLLING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH DEPRESSED. IT IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL STALL, THERE IS NO JERKINESS AND THE ENGINE JUST SILENTLY SHUTS DOWN. WOULD BE HARD TO NOTICE IF EYES ARE NOT ON THE RPM, IT JUST DIES AND HITS 0 RPM.

WHEN PROCEEDING AFTER IT TURNED GREEN, I NOTICED MY ENGINE WAS OFF. I THEN PROCEEDED TO THE NEXT LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE THEN CUT OFF ON ITS OWN AGAIN AT THE NEXT LIGHT WHILE IN NEUTRAL WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. MY GAS METER WAS AT 1/3 TANK AND I PROCEEDED TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AFTER I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS COMING TO A SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC AND SWITCH MY GEAR TO NEUTRAL AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND AS SOON AS I WAS COMING UP TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MY VEHICLES ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS COASTING AT 30-40MPH. I WAS STILL IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED. I PROCEEDED TO RESTART MY VEHICLE WHEN IT CAME TO A FULL STOP AND CALLED MY DEALER. - 2ND OCCURENCE HAPPEND WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND HAD MY FOOT ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOING INTO 2ND FROM 3RD. MY VEHICLES ENGINE THEN CUTOFF AGAIN WHEN MY FOOT WAS STILL PRESSED INTO THE CLUTCH PEDAL. I HAD RESTARTED THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION TO AVOID INCOMING TRAFFIC TO ACCELERATE INTO THE TURN. - 3RD OCCURENCE HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS IN NEUTRAL COASTING INTO MY PARKING SPOT AT MY APARTMENT, THE ENGINE CUT ITSELF OFF AGAIN. -4TH OCCURENCE HAPPENED IN A SERIES, I WAS COMING UP TO A PARKING SPOT IN NEUTRAL AND AS I BRAKED TO A COMPLETE STOP, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND HAD IT DRIFT BACKWARDS IN NEUTRAL, IT HAD SHUT OFF AGAIN WITHOUT MY STICK SHIFT BEING IN ANY GEAR SLOTS.

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.

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. HERE IS A LINK TO THE FORUMS OF EVIDENCE THAT IT AS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE VEHICLES: HTTPS://WWW.GOLFMK7.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=778941

Mileage: 8,000

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MOST OF THE OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON CITY STREETS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY IN, OR IF VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. IT IS A VERY QUIET STALL, NO DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE STARTED AGAIN, AS IF IT WAS NEVER RUNNING. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

WHITE 2019 RABBIT EDITION 6MT, BUILD DATE OF 10/18, PURCHASED 4/6/19. ISSUE BEGAN THE DAY OF PURCHASE WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WILL FREQUENTLY STALL WHEN THE CLUTCH IS FULLY DEPRESSED SHORTLY BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE STALL IS UNCHARACTERISTIC OF OTHER STALLS DUE TO DRIVER ERROR, AS IT CAN BARELY BE FELT THROUGH THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR IS BOTH IN GEAR AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED. ONCE THE CAR STALLS, IT MUST BE RESTARTED BY PRESSING THE IGNITION BUTTON AGAIN. AFTER THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED, THE CAR WILL RESUME NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION UNTIL IT STALLS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AGAIN. THE STALLING ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE CAR IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS TWICE, BOTH TIMES HAVING NO RESULTS. A VW TECH WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ITS SOURCE.

BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2019 VW GOLF GTI RABBIT EDITION MANUAL 6-SPEED ON JANUARY 14, 2019 AND HAD IT DIE OUT ALMOST LIKE A "PUTTER" UNTIL THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TODAY APRIL 17, 2019. HAPPENED WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH IN AND IN FIRST GEAR. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR USING THE PUSH IGNITION I THEN HAD IT DIE ON ME TWICE MORE. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS NEARLY HOME... I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET THE CAR STARTED AND REV THE ENGINE JUST ENOUGH TO GET BACK ON MY WAY BUT THEN HAD IT DIE ON ME AGAIN WHEN PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THE CAR STILL HAS LESS THAN 800 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY DRIVEN SINCE TAKEN OFF THE CAR DEALER'S LOT.

Mileage: 750

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.

Mileage: 1,400

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.
