2019 Volkswagen GTI other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

While simply driving 75mph (speed limit during time of incident) on the highway, i heard a loud explosion sound and the sunroof had completely shattered and was blown upwards. Glass began and continued to fly off, creating a large hole, while trying to get to a stopping point. The was only very little shards of debris that had gotten inside the vehicle while driving, but had potential to put me and a passenger at risk of serious injury. No vehicles were close to mine that could have caused debris to hit the area and no other vehicles were affected. There was no cracks or chips in the glass prior to the incident. There is reason to believe that it is a manufacturing error or installation error prior to purchasing the vehicle in 2020. Supporting that, i have researched reports of other Volkswagen Golf GTI models dealing with the same or similar issues with the sunroof exploding upwards with zero cause or explanation. There has not been an inspection or investigation of the damage as is happened around 3:00pm on this date ( January 30th, 2026).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
