New car manual transmission, car stalls out at low speeds on snow covered roads. rpm's 1400 - 2000 can stop problem if traction control is disabled. i have driven manuals for over 30 years and it is not operator error it is a problem with the traction control and computer system - it dies in traffic and requires the key to be turned all the way off and then back on to get the car started. taking the rpm's up to 2500 avoids the problem - but this will certainly wear out the clutch. dealer feels it is just a sensitive clutch - i now have 600 miles on the car and have to disable traction control to stop the stalling at start ups and low speed shifting. | |||

My new 2011 vw jetta sportswagen decelerated suddenly while driving at 65 mph on the highway. the engine lost most of its power and the car could only go at about 30 mph. the car regained all its power after the engine was shut off. i consider this a critical safety issue with the car. | |||
