Consumer Description

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.
