Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings Problems of Volkswagen R32

My 2008 Volkswagen R32 exhibits intermittent fuel delivery issues. At times, usually following a refueling, the car seems to "hiccup" and briefly lose power, as if the fuel supply was cut off momentarily. This causes a severe jerking in the car, and can happen at low speeds after rounding a corner or at constant freeway speeds. Other symptoms include stumbling and stalling while at idle in traffic; with difficulty in restarting as if the vehicle is starved for fuel. The vehicle has also failed to start upon first use of the day, cranking over but not seeming to receive fuel, even though the tank may be full. Other issues include difficulty with refueling when tank is near empty. Often, the gas station fuel dispensers will shut off 10 or more times when beginning to fill up the tank, as if air were blocking the filler neck and causing the automatic pump shutoff to kick in. It can take many tries before one is finally able to completely fuel the vehicle, which only holds 14. 5 gallons. On two occasions, the automatic fuel cutoff in the gas station dispenser did not detect a full tank and the fuel actually overflowed out of filler neck and onto the ground until I manually shut of the fuel dispensers. It seems the evaporative purge canister or lines are easily blocked in this design, and I question whether there are other vapor lock or vacuum issues with the fuel system design that are involved. I am taking my vehicle to the dealer for service on 11/26 for an attempt at diagnosis. Many other owners of this vehicle in the online forum "vwvortex. Com" have also reported similar problems with this vehicle, and are having little success in repair through vwoa. I consider this to be a potentially dangerous situation.
