general problems of the 2008 Volkswagen R32

This is the second time I am bringing this to the dealer. While driving the engine dies and cant start it again. Had to get it towed to dealer in the middle of nowhere. Dealer asked what was wrong I said it felt as if the battery died and the engine just died. They tried fixing it and it happened again. This time however I was able to drive it to the dealer before it died again. Same problem. Volkswagen dealer has it and had it over a week. My service advisor doesn't even know what the problem is and cant promise me a date when they will have it ready. I feel unsafe because of the fact the car just dies in the middle of the road.

My brand-new 08 vw makes severe hiccups on moderate acceleration when the outside temperature is above about 95 f. (sudden loss of power and come back up in short period of time. )have starting problem after the symptom, sometimes smell of gas from outside rear. The problem does not leave any error codes on computer, therefore dealers cannot fix or replicate problem. (usually takes about 30 min constant drive in the hot weather to have the symptom. ) had numerous visit to a vw dealer but no fix. Always end up with my claim comments; "customer states. . . " and dealer states, "can not replicate the problem". I keep having the same problem since last year, only when outside is really hot (for California), above 95f. Total of 6-7 days I've had the same problem since last year.
