Car Stall problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat

I bought this vehicle about a year and a half ago in arizona. It has only ever been serviced by volkwagen dealerships. Since having the car, I have had to have its turbo repaired, new fuel lines put in, several electronic parts, and finally on my way to school from boston to pittsburgh, my engine starts smoking. After this incident it went to �minuteman Volkswagen� just outside of boston, where the issue was still not able to be resolved. I then had to have the car shipped out of pocket to a volkwagen dealership in pittsburgh where a new electronics unit was put in. I was assured after this electronic unit was installed, my car would be back to normal, as this was not an engine issue covered under warranty. Today I receive a call informing me that the electronics unit was installed and it turns out that it is, in fact, an engine issue. I was in serious danger at the time my engine started smoking. My family has funds and are more than willing to take whatever steps necessary to resolve this issue. My mother died in a car accident in 2018 in a car advertising exceptional safety (just like this one). It has provided me with the opposite. I feel constantly unsafe in the vehicle, and the smoking engine was the tipping point for me and my family. This issue will be addressed.

Told the service tech, I trusted your techs had fixed this problem, my daughter and I could have gotten killed because of the loss of power and the vechile shutting off with no notice! called the vw corporate no one is willing to help or listen.
