Golf

  • 10 miles
Engine stalls, on starting from stop, sometimes when going down hill, or over a bump in the road. Seems to stall when RPM goes below 750. Commonly stalls in intersection, resulting in dangerous situation while one restarts car. Complained to dealer, but they were unable to fix problem. This is a recurring problem with stalls daily to once every several days. Has been doing it since I purchased the car.
