NHTSA Complaint #11363114 — 2020 VOLKSWAGEN GTI

THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS FULLY IN AND THROTTLE IS NOT ENGAGED (COASTING DOWN HILLS, STOP SIGNS) THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BUT ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS STAY ON. I LOSE POWER STEERING/THROTTLE AND RPMS ARE 0. NONE OF THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON LIKE THE CAR STALLED. WHEN THE CAR TURNS BACK ON, IT SEEMS TO STRUGGLE/STUTTER. SEVERAL OF THE TIMES I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT, IT TOOK A TRY OR TWO TO CRANK AND ME ADDING SOME THROTTLE. I RAN MY CODE READER SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NO ACTUAL CODES HAVE BEEN TRIPPED AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IF I CONTINUALLY ADD SOME THROTTLE AND REV THE ENGINE WHILE AT A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH IN THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN IT HASN'T HAPPENED WHILE THE ENGINE OR THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE WAS COLD. ONLY AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE IN THE FALL NOT QUITE WARM IN THE MIDWEST US AND AGAIN ONLY AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO AND THE ENGINE WAS TOTALLY WARMED UP.
